Camaro Concept trivia
My 1968 Camaro has it, so did my 1994 Oldsmobile... it was a Cutlass Siera BTW, but the 1964 Oldsmobile Super 88 holiday I want real bad does not.

Death of the V8?
But that's a 1968... do you also own a 1969? Empowah: I don't pay attention to V6, FWD Impala news... rather watch paint dry. And I still say DOD in a V6 is lame. :wink:

CAYMAN or CORVETTE
Turbojet: That rear wing on the GT is just horrible. Looks like a wannabe F40 wing.

Witnessed a suicide today
Wow... that's absolutely horrible.

Next Honda Accord

4VPC SB Northstar Replacement?
99 times out pf a hundred I agree... but I'd love a CTS-V more so than a STS-V, mostly for the durability & ease of maintenance of the LS6 and the standard 6-speed manual, you know with three pedals on the floor. :AH-HA_wink:

Detroit Designers: "'Retro' is a no-no."
I'm with you for the most part Balthazar... BTW... the fact that the new Beetle is a reskinned FWD, front engined, I4 powered Golf is what sux about it the most. Even there the styling is not the problem IMO.

Holy Coincidence Batman... *cue spinning Tatra logo* I'm pretty sure that one never saw Stock Car duty.

Jazz up your posts with Character Entities
So I went to New England Dragway ® recently with my Datsun © Maxima ™... I ran a 17.09 in the ¼ mile and my trap speed was pretty good considering my car is powered by a 2.4 liter inline six based on a low-compression 240Z ¾ motor. The best part was that Action Photography ® got a real cool ¾ shot of me launching the car at like 3500rpm. I'd love to buy a big turbo for the car, like the Porsche-KKK © selling on Ebay from Germany for 140 € , seeme like a better deal than the silly 280Z © /Fairlady ™ spec. Turbo selling out of a Japanese catalog for like 30,000 ¥ .

Here's a Monte Carlo I bet you've never heard of. :wink: http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/fer...213/rally00.htm

Bought an 81 Chevy Malibu!!!!!
Once again Z-Lock, congratulations! That Pontiac Bench seat out of a 70s LeMans should look much better than these blue buckets... blue & burgundy do not mix well.

Porsche 911 Destroyed... for no good reason!
My two favorites, one a product of the Czech republic, the other a USA made "europeanish" semi-exotic economy car. The original Split window...

American Idol...
It's been a few weeks since you hit a homerun like that, classic OCNBLU... glad I could help set that one up for you! :wink: *Crosses legs nervously*

Guess the $hitbox:
Agreed... if you need more than 2 passanger capacity then you're not in a position to buy the Insight. I think it's meant to be a 2nd or 3rd car for most people.

GM Design Center Anniversary
Fantastic post. So very, very cool. I even like the Teacup desk.

Only the morons running Honda would try to do DOD with a V6, that's like trying to juggle 7 knives w/ one hand.

Invicta name out
Yes, true. But I love that about the name... out of all the 1959 Buicks I've seen they were all Electras & LeSabres, but I want the "sporty" Invicta like Balthazar's. It's such a cool name. Yes & yes... esp. RoadMonster! Makes perfect sense to me... the Lucerne is a car full of compromises and half-assed B.S. mechanicals It's motor is mounted sideways... it lacks a kick ass pushrod V8, it's short and stubby looking and to top it all off it's FWD. And to showcase in their ads how exactly complex & modern the new Lucerne is they talk about the windshield washer fluid. The Zeta Buick, whatever its name will be a TRUE Buick, even more so than the Park Ave, more so than the last gen. Regal. It will be the true successor to the Roadmaster and hopefully a 2-door variant will be called Riviera... Just how many of Oldsmobile's mistakes does Buick have to repeat? How much reinventing, new-age marketing & re-Bull$hitting will GM do before it learns that all the American people want is a true & authentic rebirth of what American cars stood for in the 1950s & 1960s?

CAYMAN or CORVETTE
Well then... I like big butts and I can not lie.... Baby got back! Apt. description, I don't like very skinny Chicks and I don't like the Boxter's squised ass.

Cobalt SS spanks Nissan Skyline
Wow... that's just crazy. I gotta see that. Even a poorly running Skyline is still a force to be reckoned with.

Death of the V8?
Amen. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

4VPC SB Northstar Replacement?
It could stay right where it is... or like others mentioned the possibilities are endless. I like the concept but it has to be for the high end stuff only. Give the masses our basic Pushrod OHV, 2/valve V8s.

Lutz's perfect summation of Toyota
I whole-heartedly agree... leave the appliances to Toyota. Pontiac = all RWD & RWD-biased AWD Chevy = muscle, trucks & family sedans Buick = mostly RWD upscale cars between Chevy & Caddy Caddy = Go for Bently's throat wiht the SIXTEEN...
