No idea, but I have my share of Avatar issues too on occasion.

Damn it I WANT to go but on such short notice....

Today: "There is nothing final about a mistake, except its being taken as final." Lucky numbers: 20, 34, 22, 11, 27, 4 FLIP SIDE ---- Sugar: "TANG"

Yeah... either way I hope Toyota gets what is coming to them!

Yeah... I have no life.

Screw that... I hate needless complication. Give me a 5/6 speed.

1. Chrysler 300C / Dodge Charger 2. Infiniti M45 3. MB CLK500 *hardtop* 4. BMW 540i 5. Subaru WRX-STi

Wow... dude that's messed up! Hope there's no scarring.

New owner bringing the car around to the trailer. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v219/Six...nt=DSCN3719.flv -------- One last ride, he was not used to the crappy brakes... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v219/Six...nt=DSCN3720.flv -------- Off she goes... how depressing. time to get the Super 88 before I kill myself. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v219/Six...nt=DSCN3733.flv

The "Sixty8Panther" Camaro has left the building... Godspeed little guy. Absolutely NO buyers remorse! My Dad has a few screws loose but for once he dragged home a winner!

Why does ebay suck so much!?!?! punch in this auction number on www.ebay.com 4648918109 -------

Yes... plus you guys are basing your preconceptions on center of gravity based on styling not actual numbers on a skidpad or roadcourse.

Damn that sucks... a curse or hex is right huh? Could have been worse: It could have been a 1981-84 Maxima which is a lot more valuable. :wink:

Here we go wiht the "there's no market" B.S. Let's see as of June 2006 here's the cars there was technically "no market for" according to the experts: 300C, Charger, Magnum, Mustang, Corvette, Solstice, Sky, convertibles in general, G6 RHT, Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car, CTS-V, & a boatload of other niche cars that do not belong in the 21st century. If BMW can sell 3 coupes: 3 Series, Z4, 6-series as well as the BMW Z8, & Mercedes can have a whole lineup of coupes & RWD cars are back then I'm pretty sure a full size luxury-coupe Monte Carlo and a compact & sporty Camaro can coexist. When it comes to ZETA the more the merrier. The whole idea is to build a ton of product on this platform and reach as much demographic as possible to sell as many units as possible & keep the RWD cars going round & round. LIKE I'VE SAID BEFORE: More good product = more sales Less product, good or not =/= more sales The Camaro will NOT be the exact car for everyone and anyone who wants a Chevy coupe. 49 year old ex-soccermoms who want to dump their minivans and live the life now that Junior and the cheerleader are out of H.S. & collge will not be looking for a firebreathing muscle car. hey will want a 21st century edition of a G-body coupe.

Beleive it or not, stickers are in the plans, not quite there yet to having them printed but we're getting close. T!@HT WH1P$ version. 2.0 is underway. XP needs to pick up his new ride, I need to get my Super 88 running & SP needs to get a bench seat in the 'Bu and we will be rockin' the show circuit bringing home trophies, A-ight! Mean time if we get stickers printed the cost will be little to nothing per person if we all pull togeather to get the club off the ground.

ROADTRIP! So one thing I thought I'd mention after looking at the Lightning McQueen that came in Sofia's McDonald's Happy Meal the other day: L. McQ. may be an imaginary car but he's much more interesting, sporty and original than any actual NASCAR stock car from the past 15 years. Seriously restrictor plates, body templates & tacked on Taurus/Fusion head lights on a Peanut M&M shape are not appealing to me. NASCAR should jooin the 21st century and build some circuits & then restrict NOTHING except for displacement and make a neat McQ style sporty template wiht some leaway in terms of ground effects/spoiler tweeking by the individual teams.

Cute... as far as your question: If you were heterosexual you might be driving a Fiero instead of a Mazda.

For a while there I was the highest bidder at $127 Canadian. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1959-Buick-...1QQcmdZViewItem At some point in the afternoon today between my Lobster Roll from d'Angelos, staring at the Super 88 & working on the Q45 XP im-ed me with a link to this ebay auction and pretty much said after we go drop off the '77 to Ill, let's go to Canada to pick up a Fiddy-9 Buick. Instigator!!! Shenanigans!!!

Thanks Deftones... she is a charmer.

FREEEKIN' Awsome!!! Red is not a color you see a lot on these cars, butternut yellow & silver seem to be the two most popular in my neck of the woods. There IS however a Ferrari red 1979? Pontiac Phoenix in Lowell.

Elementally I agree with you, I mean it's a free country, but at some point a line has to be drawn. If you put a '57 Caddy Eldorado Biarritz on a Suburban frame you better have a damn good reason, like the original frame was pretty much about to break in half since it was 85% rust flake. Otherwise, as much as it's your right to cut it up and go to town modifying it, you're still a complete douchebag for doing so to such a rare and gorgeous car in fact it shows you have a very weak grasp of what exactly the car hobby is about. XP has a horror story about a 1930s Packard Hearse that was molested and destroyed beyond the point of return by some moron with a sawz-all. That kind of stuff makes my blood boil, people who think body work is preformed using sawz-alls & pop-rivets should stick to '92 Civics & '85 Crown Vics... there's still plenty of them around and they were not destined to be at a concours d'elegance anyway. A 1930s (anything) should be allowed to live out its life unmolested if it survived the scrap shortages of WWII, the 1950s customizers & 1960s hot rodders.

In have a love hate relationship with the Northstar... it's a powerful and very sophisticated motor but it does have a few problems that are aggravating. Outside of the costly repairs linked to its FWD, transverse mounted DOHC V8 & super complex electronics. Honestly I have no malice for these cars, driven enough of them and if you're in love with one then go for it. FWD is just not for me but I almost bought a 1996 SDV before the Q45 came along. I had some photos posted of it, basically 90% identical under the skin. One thing of note: of all the cool luxury features Caddy puts into their late 1990s cars the one I miss the most is the DIC. The Q45 could definately use it. Nothing like being able to find out the slightest detail about the operation/condition of you car/fluid levels & life etc.

I don't know what it is but seeing all those winows down is just such a rush. There's absolutely perfect visibility with not so much as a 1" thick pillar. It's been three days since I bought the Super and every morning I'm still speechless when I get in and turn on the AM radio after rolling down all four windows & opening the vent windows. I cufking love this car!

I wish they had a closeup of the cat... looks like Garfield.

I'm ignorant on this particular topic but in general our trade policies are very hurtful to our country.
