Bathy, Sixty8, WMJ, Capriceman, Ocn...
Wow... great post. Your Aurora is looking good too. My first choice would eb the Cadillac, second the Imperial, then the (questionable?) Olds & then the LeSabre. Nothing against the LeSabre though... still a gorgeous car. The Cadillac Fleetwood is a 1967 BTW. 1965-1966 had vertical front lights, not angled... & there is a bunch of other differances that makes the 67-68 better looking to my eyes. XP: I was thiking the same thing, who does a two tone blue/white '55 Olds but leaves everything but the greenhouse white? Fishy.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
All things considered, I give it a solid "B" only for the fact that it is not very greoundbreaking in styling or antthing else... it's bold & i like that but it's also a bit too tall and the CHiMSL is lame for 2007. I think in 2007 every car should a LED 3rd brake light (this does not look it...?) and it should be at least about 12" wide... I HATE cheap lights, good lighting is about the most important safety feature and yet it's seemingly just an afterthought on many 2007 cars. Now as far as my own personal (today's car market non-withstanding) this car is FWD, has a transverse mounted motor and it has big, chunky B-pillars so right there it already is a D+ at best... THIS IS A MALIBU 4 door that gets a A+ And for that matter why do we not have a 2dr l;ike bakc in the day... Honda Accord & toyota Camrys both sell in decent #s w/ the rear-door-delete option.

I love glocks... granted that's only based on firing my buddy's 9mm on about a half dozen occassions, still from what I've heard they are great firearms and can be dropped in sand and will stil fire. everyone is so very POLARIZED on the Glock issue. WTF is the deal?

ahhhhhhh!!!

The Most Underappreciated Cars
G-body four doors from the 80s... sure they're not as cool as the 2-door G-bodys but they're still great RWD, BOF cars that will swallow a 454/B/O/P 455s & what came after was disgusting in comparisson becasue of the FWD & lack of V8 power & the trans- verse mounted motors. XP: Check out the file name of this pic...

YES, not sure of the specifics but I was enthused/pissed to see it. Seems a lot opf my really ORIGINAL ideas have been done already.... But there's one I still have not seen. P.S. Balthy: How ironic... just yesterday I was talking to my buddy in Arizona saying a 1959 Pontiac would be an acceptable alternative to a 1959 Buick once it's time to say goodbye to the '64.

Toyota FT-HS Concept
Sixty8panther replied to DetroitNut90's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)FoG: I'm starting a petition to call them the "PRISS" just like Opie & Anthony. It rolls off the tongue better and it's truth in advertizing. "pr'-ISS"

Camaro too late?
Very true. If gas is $4.00 a gallon it WILL really HURT my wallet but since it's about the only new car I care to own and modern cars are more efficient than most of the alternatives i'd rather drive I might as wel enjoy my miles in a Camaro and take pleasure in burning off $4.00/gallon gas. Even a piece of $h! econobox FWD four banger costs $18,000 if you get a few luxury items and you still feel like you're a looser driving one if you're used to rolling in V8 powered land yachts & muscle cars. You only live once and I'd rather eat macaroni & cheese but enjoy my cars.

Airflite vs Nassau
I think the Nassau, Airflite & production Sebring for that matter are all ugly as sin.

Check Out this Cream Puff
On our first date my girlfriend Marcia told me that the coolest car she ever owned was not her 1984 Firebird, or her 1978 Trans Am, but a 1986 Grand Prix with a CBB 454 with two tanks of NOS in the trunk. She had some fun times in it... then she got it impounded after the speeding/drag racing/burnout citations added up and the end result was that she never got enough money together to get it out of the police impound in time. I almost bought a GORGEOUS 99% mint 1986 GP myself a few years back... it has "S10 eXtreme" rims and factory t-tops... burgundy paint and a rebuilt 305. Gorgeous car.

ahhhhhhh!!!
Hmmm.... interesting. Pretty minimalistic for a modern motor. I like the simplicity of the wiring harness... it that IT? Also: why do I only see 20 valves?

Hint of Production Camaro Dash?
I'll put money on the Camaro's interior looking better than that.

My car's back from the shop, and definitely looks different...
Damn... In thought you took the opportunity to have the Sky sprayed some non-factory exotic color like White-Diamond-TANGERINE-Pearl or perhaps Starburst Blue-Green with Green-Blue ghost racing stripes and cannonball run decals over the doors/trunk. :wink:

How much did you drink last night
A four pack of White Russians, two glasses of water & a Pepsi. Now the person witht he remote control to the digital cable box had quite a bit more.... at like 11:30 they rewound TV about 7 minutes to watch some lame assed music video, but then afterwards never pressed the "LIVE" buton. So at 12:00 we're all still thinking it's like 11:53. Next six minutes a few people called some of the party guests and wished them a happy new year and caused a whole lot of confusion. Funny stuff. So basically we had to fastforward "live" TV by like 4 minutes in order to watch the ball drop. Our 2007 started like 6 min. late right from the get-go. I have a tendancy to procrastinate but that is just ridiculous.

Hmmm...
Step 1. Drive down the highway at speed limit +5, wait for agressive tailgater Step 2. Wait for them to pick up cell phone call... Slam on bakes, brace for impact Step 3. Cash insurance check for...? $3400 (hypothetically speaking) Step 4. Take $3400 and buy the best Fiero or 240sx you can find. Step 5. Repeat if neccessary.
