Wrong direction, you're getting colder. There's a red one in my neighborhood and I have the fortune of seeing that bucket of plastic fasteners drive by my house every day. Not a Justy either Balthazar. Nor a Cavalier with a really crappy No. 3 spark plug wire.

Great thread idea. My buddy Sean lives across the street from one of the biggest Porsche tuning shops & race-car mechanics in N.E. It's huge and they have a LOT of high-$$$ cars there. From the SCCA to high end rich-kid-toys. But that's just the begining... the OTHER garage taht's diagonaly across from him is owned by a muscle car guy who has a 1987 Buick Grand National GNX. It's No. 302 and although it has about 80,000 miles on it the car looks pristene. He daily drives it in the summer. Any given day you go past the shop it's in the place of honor, windows down and a bottle of gatorade in the passanger seat next to a Boston Globe. --------- As far as me.... well my neighbors 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille & AMC SX/4 are on my front lawn... the coupe with a $800 O.B.O. sign on it. But the guy up the street (we practically share backyards) has a huge 12 or so car garage. It's filled with about ten classic Chevys and one 1950s Ford truck... chevy powered. In case you're wondering he has TWO 70-72 Camaros, a 1969 Chevelle, a 1969 Camaro & two 1968 Camaros. Then there's four (or is it five) Chevy trucks not counitng the dailyy driven stuff and also a shoebox chevy of some sort. At least he HAD a Tri-Five Chevy, but since he sold his 1968 Chevelle he might have sold that too. A couple C/K Blazers... 80s GMC ramp truck & 4th gen. Camaro complete the fleet. He's an animal. One of the 68 Camaros is daily driven in the summer by his teenage son.

Pretty close, but then again not. :wink:

Hey GM... how about in Mass?

Tetanus Shot.... (got one today)

Chev-Ro-Effin-Let!

David Hasslehof was in the American Idol audience. Macia called me over so I'd watch the last 0.25 min of the finale of the show and I see Hasslehof in the audience. Shouldn't he be at home getting ready to make Knight Rider the big screen motion picture.

- Odd number of cylinders - Even number of passangers - Gross Weight is 2250 lbs.

LOL Funny but true.... I hate when advertising thinks it can figure me out. It's insulting & lame.

True.... a production Profile and Recon would have helped tremendously. But still the Aurora should have been the technology showcase for Olds not the flagship. A truw RWD V8 large sedan should have been the top of the line Olds. The 04 did not do much for me but it did have a few neat styling touches. I'll take a big RWD boat with tons of chrome given the chance. Decontented or not.

HAHAHAH!!! Marcia's parents have photo from the late 70s with a VW 412 parked in the driveway, I saw it & the dark secret got out.

Well... yes, but for instance at 65+ MPH the sheetmetal on the car's hood sways in the wind. WTF? Unacceptable. Also, 0-60 in like 7.8 sec. sucks when the STS does it in like 6.7, not that I'm going to be needing to burn rubber in a luxury car but you get the point. The dead pedal in the Q sucks, the E-break sucks and is also in the way of the crappy dead pedal and the trunk is very small considering the size of the rear overhang. This is thanks to the craptastic fuel tank placement. BUt still I love the Q and at least the sunroof switch does not make me want to murder whoever designed it like in the STS. Seriously, one of the most horrific electronic annoyances of my life has been trying to close the sunroof on the STS. The past four years that I've owned it I can honestly say I almost had an aenurism over it about two dozen times. You try to close it and it opens... you hold it down for 0.1 seconds too long adn it tilts instead of closing.

I wish that was my house... it's just some function hall in Northboro. It happens to be down the street from the dealership where I bought the Q45. A cop was in the driveway doing his best with a radar gun when I took this. As far as T.W.C.C. everyone is welcome. We're still hoping for at least one member from Iraq. Perhaps a former goat herder who now drives a Russian Volga as a taxi cab in Baghdad. Also ownership of a 1983 A.I.M. (Australian Import Market) hardtop Datsun 910 Bluebird 4dr means sutomatic membership for life... as does any Riviera or Mustang Cobra with a mismatched fender.

See the Goldenrod Garage thread... same place.

Yeah.... SS stands fopr SUPER Sport... not "Kind of sporty if you squint real hard and it comes with some slick rims" THESE cars are true Super Sports:

Yes... that's always been the rule.

I hate Toyota but this is a brilliant move... I wish DOdge did this with the CHarger can called it a Road Runner. Haypops: Get a "Presidential {@}" Carige Top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD! Now let's hope the same happens when the 5th gen. Camaro hits the streets!

The Tight Whips Senior Members will be having a meeting some time this week. In other words me SP & XP will end up hammering out the details soon.

Since we're on this topic... Back in Slovakia my garndfather and I had a tradition of doign the same hike every spring. It was up a mountain side and about 2 kilometers off the end of a dirt road. As a little kid it seemed more like 20 KM but I never complained. For at the end of the journey at the top of the mountain there was a 13th century burned down castle. It was 1/2 way falling down and most of the interior had trees & weeds where once people inhabited but it was about as cool as it got for a little 5/6/7/8 year old kid. Back when the Turks/Mongols would try to seige it they would pour melted tar onto the attackers just like in those movies from the dark ages. I'll never forget that Castle as long as I live and the fun I had spotting deer, warthogs, Pheasants, Falcons & Mountain Lions. Never found an artifact though...

It's a CHINESE Camry which means it's a long wheelbase Yaris.

I wish I had something relevant to say but I'm clueless as to the logistics/mechanics of this particular scenario. If done right it would be a pretty cool thing to brag about.

Rear mounted Wankel mated to a rear mounted transmission... longitudinaly & low for great center of gravity. Give the body a sleek 3rd gen. RX-7 look & call it an RMX-7 or something like that. Make twin-turbo optional. Now THAT is a true 911 fighter.

I for one have never and will never drive drunk. The SADD demos aside waht else gets the same kind of visual impact for the buck. It's a serious problem and this is a pretty effective way of etching the realities of this kind of behavior into people's conscious.

Great post O'Shea! I just want to get this sucker roadworthy enough to drive it to the Worcester Summer Nats, throw 4 red gumdrops on the roof and do a huge burnout on the stands for all the crowd to see. Everytime I see this Ambulance I think of CHiPs. & thus an whole new inside joke is born.
