  1. T1G#T WH!P$ TROPHY TRIVIA In the next few weeks I'm going to post 59 different trivia questions of all different forms on C&G. Multiple choice, photo identification, photo match up & even some true or false. Some questions will be multiple part and others a simple one word answer. At the end of the 59 individual trivia thread questions all the winners will be added up and a trophy will be mailed via the USPS to the over all winner of the first annual Tight Whips Trivia Trophy. Best of luck to all, I encourage everyone to participate. ...................................................... Current Score: Fly: 11 WMJ: 9 Yellow_Dart: 9 Balthazar: 7 OldsGuy: 6 Chevelle7.4L: 4 OcnBlu: 3 American_Revolution2005: 1 SmallChevy: 1 ---------------------- T1G#T WH!P$ TROPHY TRIVIA #52 Give us this car's model year(s), make, body style & model/trim.
  2. It's their right to donate to whatever they want... it IS a free country after all. It may not be as comendable as feeding kids in Africa but that's the choice they made. If I was a millionare I'd be very carefull about what "charity" I'd donate to... so many of times you hear of how for every $1 you donate $0.79 goes to "overhead".
  3. As much as I hate Toyota & Honda I wouold not be laughing if this was a 1972 Toyota Corona or whatever...maybe I'd be laughing if it was a 1976 Honda CVCC but even a few Japanese cars from that era have enough redeming value to make something like this inexcusable. Can you imagine a 1972 Datsun 510 sedan treated this way? I'd be upset.
  4. Same reason why the Grand Am was left out of 90% of midsize/sporty/affordable sedan comparisons durring the entire 1990s.
  5. Well I love it.... 4" whitewalls on appropriate steel rims with 15" hubcaps and baby blue paint would complete this car for me. I too prefer the 4dr hardtop over the ragtop but I'd take a 1959 over either.
  6. That was more entertaining than any movie out of Hollywood... ever. Wow that's cool stuff. The only bad part was seeing 59 Chevys get stacked up.
  7. I always thought the nose of this car had a very mid 1970s look to it.
  8. My car models are in exceptional shape becasue when I was ten years old my parents took me to the Toy & Train Museum near Plymouth, MA I realised someday I'd love to have my own museum. Only time will tell.

  10. How about this... what would you like to see from Gm within 10 years? 1. A car & truck lineup that is about 70% RWD & 20% AWD/4WD 2. Hydrogen powered production cars 3. The leaches that we call SATURN & SAAB dead or sold
  11. Ask XP715 about my "collection", he's one of only a few people to ever see the majority of it. As of last count I had 3000+ cars from the 1:64 (Hot Wheels) to 1:18scale stuff. That was in 2002 and does not include all the unpackaged stuff. I'd say 4700-5000 is a very accurate figure but that's just model cars. I also collect emblems, magazines, license plates, car parts, books, brochures....
  12. This is wonderful news... some of us RWD fanatics have been saying this would happen for years but were told that RWD is not for the masses and all that other B.S. If we have anyone to thank it's Chrysler for the 300 (and the Charger) those cars proved to the shortsighted, non-enthusiast skeptics that their RWD does not sell in large numbers anymore theory was not only erroneous but very conterproductive to GM's progress. Imagine if the 300 was playing catchup to Chevy's Impala versus the otehr way around. I still say this is NOT enough. A long wheelbase version with more retro skin called the Caprice or perhaps Bel Air would do very nicely in the Chevy lineup.
  13. WMJ is 100% correct! I'll post some photos later. Next: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...23&t=13406&st=0

Thread #51 Name this eccentric concept car & give us the 411 on it's purpose.
  15. Idea: A+ Excecution: D+
  16. I wish... I set it up to seem like a Bimmer but it's NOT as a matter of fact this car shares its basic "subframe" with a certain 1968 Chevrolet I used to own.
  17. Wow.. that sucks dude. Sorry to hear that. All the best of luck, at least today you know they can repair it 100% what with the laser this and frame puller that. Glad to hear no one was hurt... except for your beautiful Sky. I've driven the Super 88 over 2000 miles since I got it this past June. About 1900 of that has been to work and back while the Datsun awaits rear brake calipers. I drive so damn defensively it's not even funny. So far I've had about 7 close calls where morons were not paying attention. Four were Toyotas, Toyotas, one was a Honda CRV, one brand new Dodge Dakota & if you beleive it the worst was a dumb little deuche bag in a Black Alero. She pulled out right in front of me on Rt.4 and I had swerve around her, over a very shallow curb & into an empty parking lot at about 40mph while my Horn was blaring like the siren in Silent Hill. I had been going about 40/45 mph & at about 30 feet away she pulled out RIGHT in front of me with a car full of her High School girly friends. They almost all f@#kin' died. If I had not been in the mood for the particular Frank Sinatra tune blasting from my AM radio (740) and I had been changing the radio station my right fender would have sliced that Alero like a butcher knife through roast beef and I probably would have killed 3 out of the five of them. KNOCK ON WOD
  18. HINT: It's newer than XP715's 1974 Stinkin' Lincoln limousine but older than I am by a couple years. Oh, and just so I don't mess with people's minds and to keep things fair, the shifter (and H pattern) are non-stock.
  19. Disgusting, sad & unexcusable.
  20. Good luck with that... I'm not the gym type. I'd rather do stuff outside versus driving to a big building and walking in place on a rubber conveyor belt.
  21. I have no problem with animated GIFs... someday I'll make a custom one for myself, I''ve got a few ideas. Anyway for what it's worth I guess I could see a mandate to keep the signature GIFs at a reasonable size. Some of the avatars are fun.
  22. What a 'Negative Nelly'... I love my 2ng gen. Q45 FYI. and that's why they DID NOT have a 1983 Cimarr0n or a J-body sized 1986 Seville in the ad. They had to ackowladge the 1980s so they went with the cool and VERY unique Bustle Back. Besides, who fu**ing cares what 1980s car they show in the ad... after the 1932 V16 Dual Cowl Phaeton & the 1959 Biarritz the ad makes it's point, Cadillacs are for Emperors, super flashy celebrities & billionares.
  23. That interior is absolutely gorgeous! So is this SLS powered by a 1.7 litre diesel five cylinder?
