    This was a running driving prototype with all the regular mechanicals underneath right?
  2. So why is it that people keep spreading the rumor that Okland somehow SPAWNED Pontiac? Is there some popular website that preches this? I don't get it. This is not the only example either, the web is full of these lies. The whole reason why my email & username is Sixty-8 Panther is because of all the arguments I've gotten into with supposed Chevy guys & Camaro fans about the Camaro's first name. Panther was the name from the time Super Nova was dropped and the F-body program got going full swing in 1965. Last minute due to the Mercury Cougar, Chevy's insistance on a name starting with 'C' and the heat they were taking from R. Nader. Anyway it seems sometimes the people that claim to have all the facts have everything but.
  3. Wow, good for you. Have fun, Canada is a great vacation spot. I love Nova Scotia but Prince Edward Island is even better.
  4. Very cool! The problem with that math is that it does not work in the real world. Le$$ expensive means more weight, more practical body that's less aerodynamic and seats four/five means WORSE fuel economy...etc. Like the article said making this thing a sports car is the one way it can make a profit. $80,000 does not seem so bad when the car is marketed as a sports car with Porsche-level performance.
  5. Wow... a 2006 LX Superbird. Cool How much time did that guy have on his hands? Holy Cow. Your answer is incorrect. Road Runner emblem & tall wing on a race car with a famous pushrod V8 and white paint.
  6. What looks funny about the cover? Maybe the fact that he looks like Mr.Hat... you know his expression & posture is such that it looks like a 47 year old man has a hand up his @$$ puppet style. I'm going to go now.
  7. Hmmm... I did not know a few of those details and have never seen those white "Pontiac Probe" pre-production mules. It looks like we really dodged a bullet that time.
  8. Have a Prius cut you off... after you T-bone him, take photos and get a cop's statement and then the body shop can hook you up with a updated front end too.
  9. Right now I'm wearing a T-shirt I've had for about 5 years now... It has a few 1/2 gen Camaros on the front & a 3/4 on the back. In my car, in case I get sweaty (no AC in the Q45 right now) is a T-shirt I got from GM for free (live green, go yellow) & the khaki shorts I'm wearing are dusty & a little crinkled. We are in the middle of moving right now but that aside I still do not make a great effort to look like I spend a lot of money on my clothes. I'm not in H.S. anymore and I don't feel the need to impress any one with my clothing. Besides I get a kick out of driving the Q45 which looks pretty mint but I'm wearing a scummy old Dukes of Hazzard T-shirt & a faded & ripped pair of Jean shorts. I hate Yuppies. Not all rich people are Yuppies but most Yuppies are rich or at least living well above their means.
  10. This vehicle wears a super tall wing & it's logo includes a desert road runner bird in profile. It's got a super aerodynamic nose and the rear wing is also functional in terms of creating downforce. It wore a #65 on the door and was powered by a Pushrod V8. Name the car.
  11. Yes that's the one. My confusion lies in who owns which car. They made 54 or so of them but in any case Ralph Lauren owns a black one, I thought it might be the one that raced/won Lemans but perhaps not. In any case it's an inline 4 cylinder 4.5litre motor and the roots-type blower is driven directly off the crank.
  12. Awsome, glad to see GM is growing a set of balls!
  13. Raccoons are at least "domestic" right? I believe they're indigenous to the USA.
  14. Sorry to hear that... the @$$hole Gene is dominant too I suppose. Don't mind those d!ckhe@ds. Sounds like they bought their 300 to compensate for a short-coming or two & their personality is more than likely about as dull as a broken pencil. Snotty, wealthy & rude nose-in-the-air jack-donkeys like that piss me off too. Karma is a bitch and they'll getr theirs.
  15. I drink from the STFU cup often... and my foot has a few holes.
  16. Just saw one at the car show tonight. It was parked three rows away from my Super 88, also black and it looked HOT as hell. I showed Sofia around it and explained to her how real sports cars have three pedals on the firewall & a hand-activated parking brake.
  17. Not cool... I bet a few people die every year as a result of this exact dumb-assed move. (no offense AR05) Either you're in a hurry or you're not, which is it? I hate this particular tactic with a passion. Quoted myself from the otehr thread ^
  18. You know you're f$&ked when everything is spinning so bad you have to hold on to the grass to keep from falling off the earth!
  19. As a GM guy first and foremost I used to not go the extra mile for Fords... But in recent years I've come to realize something: It's NOT Chevy vs. Ford vs. Mopar any more. It's US vs. THEM. Us being Domestic V8 and/or RWD stuff versus the retards in FWD imports. Muscle vs. Rice. Now I kept track today and I took the Super 88 to a carshow and I yielded to several Domestics but also gave a major break to a MILF in Honda Odyssey. She had a car full of kids and gave me that "do you mind if I cut in" look so I waved her on. The Honda, as luck may have it was the only time I really gave someone a break today. Here's a basic list: PEOPLE WHO CUT ME OFF REAL BAD: 2002? Dodge Caravan CUT ME OFF BUT NOT DANGEROUSLY: 97/8 Camry, Taurus, RX330 & BMW 6-ragtop LET ME INTO TRAFFIC: 18 wheeler & Mercedes sedan I YIELDED OUT OF CURTESEY: Honda Odyssey, 2 Camrys & a bunch of Domestics AWKWARD DRIVING SITUATION: 99/00 Toyota Camry Green V6. (really clueless) Actaully... wait, leaving the car show a 1975? Chevy Pickup was tail gating me REAL bad and I was getting pissed. Not only was I driving the Super 88 but I had Sofia in the car. I pulled over to the left and motioned him to pass by and he did... at abotu 60mph right past the Ice Cream place going sideways. F*$king a$$hole could have ran someone over there's Kids everywhere... there were like 300+ cars at the show and there's MIni Golf & all kinds of family oriented stuff across the street. I'm a speeder and my driving record sucks but you don't fishtail coming out of a parking lot when there's kids to all sides of you.

  21. Happy B-day Y'all. Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs & Sodomy all around.
  22. I'm not jelaous. No, seriously I'm not jelaous... Good for you. [head_explodes]
  23. LOL I'm glad I started this thread. It's bound to upset or insult just about anyone. SUVs are often times driven by morons and their biggest annoyance is tailgating but I think Toyota drivers sill take the cake for poor all around driving. Also I think that Reg's "car hating urban liberals" comment is spot on, as much as it is an over-generalization. Most BMW owners around here are speeders but not much else. Yes there's an occasionsl jackoff in a 3-series acting like he owns the road but usually Bimmer people are speeders as am I so I stay out of their way and as long as they do the same we're good. Someone coming up on me doing 90 in the fast lane when I'm already doing 80 is great in my opinion. Tis means I let him pass and now I've got a mine-sweeper ahead of me. Cop bait doing 90 which makes it that much less likley that I'll get clipped for doing 80. VW drivers are speeders but they are often dare-devils too. I love to speed and have fun behind the wheel but to a point. I've seen VW drivers (Honda rice too) pull $h! in heavy traffic that I'll only do in an empty parking lot.
  24. C'mon people... at least take a few guesses. This might help: I think the car that is now black was green back in the day but I may be wrong on that perticular detail. Either way this should make it really easy for those of you who know your racing history very well.
