Thanks Reg: That's the very first pic I ever took of her and it's still one of my favorites... Here's one from just about a week ago. Five years & one baby later.

A+++ Fantastic article. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Members like you (both of GM and this site) is what makes me a GM fan first and foremost. I wholeheartedly beleive in everything you have said.

Bean Counters ------------ I remember reading as a kid that the Pit Viper snake family, of which Rattlesnakes are a part of, use massive doses of Calcium among other things in their venom, to stop the beating of the victim's heart. This only applies to Pit Vipers such as Rattlers, Black Moccasins, Cottonmouths etc. Small fanged, fixed teeth snakes like Cobras, Coral Snakes, Sea Snakes, Mambas etc. use neurotoxin to kill. Sometimes when I hear Rattlesnake I think of this stupid factoid.

Well said. Great photos, except they left the 1/4 windows up.

Even though I have not seen the otehr entries I vote for WMJ

Fu&k Ron Zarella, after waht I read about him in this month's issue of MT Classic I'd like to slap him in the face. He's a Bean-counting moron who helped get GM into the bind they're in now by insisting on more cookie cutter FWD 4drs & weeding out any originality.

Just about 700K actually. Well.... very very close. 699,138. 1967 --- 220,906 1968 --- 235,147 1969 --- 243,085

I like it, looks like Marble. The thing is even if the STS-V's interior was made of sheep stomach I'd want one just so I could spank a few BMWs, Mustangs & Riceboy Acuras.

2006 Ford Mustang GT EDIT: YD is right, you even left the Alfa logo in the puzzle.

The problem with this thread is we're trying to paint a picture with a very broad paintbrush. Of course not every single one of any car will fit inot one and only one demographic. It's saying all blonde girls are great in bed which is clearly not a scientific truth. That being said it seems Fords do have an exceptionaly high ranking in the white trash factor. Obviously not 1932 Highboys & GT40s though... but Tauruses, Tempos & Escorts are game. So long story short, FWD sux! :wink:

Oh I know... I probably will go back to get my masters eventually but I miss the whole package. Skipping class to screw your G/F, no rent, no baby, no "real" responsibility and the ability to take a 400 mile roadtrip up the coast of Maine just to say you did. I do also miss the quest for knowlegde... not the bull$h! in the textbooks about business etiquette & graphic design ground rules. The "theoretical" answers to the REAL questions in life. Philosophy, the vastness of the universe & our place in it, physical & not. Also theology and just how much our religions have led us astray...

Croc is not an insider, not trying to be a d1ck but he's not. Neither am I, although I'd love to be. There's a few REAL insiders on this site but I'm not going to name names.... For those of you who have been around for a year or more you'll know who they are. They were the ones who did NOT call me a naive, retro obsessed GM lunatic for my rants about how GM will come out with a Camaro concept with styling that pays tribute to the 67-69 (1st gen.). The insiders were the ones who told us to keep the faith. :wink: In a perfect* world this would have happened in the early 1990s. * forget perfect, how about "less fu$%ed up"

1994 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi - 115k, loaded, $3995 Out of all the cars you mentioned this seems like a great deal. A family friend had a 1993 Bonneville SSE (same thing minus Huffer) white-wiht tan interior and he got rid of it at like 240,000 miles with nothing but regular maintenance. Gotta love the 3800. P.S. he drove it like he stole it. I used to babysit for his kids and one time when he was dropping me off at home we were discussing cars in the pouring rain on Rt. 125 in Andover... it's a 35-45mph zone and he was doing like 65-70.

As you probably figured out I love Testarossas & I'm not into very skinny chicks with no curves. Here's a photo of Marcia I took with my Minolta SLR just after we started going out in 2001. And speaking of part time red heads, how about Claire Danes? She is very cute in a few of her movies. I remember being into her in the early 90s when she was on that "My so-called life" show on MTV.

How could I forget such a curvaceous and foxy part time redhead? I loved her in that "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" movie.

For a week there Marcia thought she might be pregnant again but I guess we just got our hopes up... damn. I want at least one more, I hated being an only child and so I hope we can ahve at least one more so Sofia is not.

How about a computer upgrade, headers, or a short throw shifter?

Awsome XP, You should be sporting Michael Jordans on that biatch! A-ight! As far as the license thing I've been there and done that. Because I kept driving after suspension (how else do you get to work???) it keeps repeating like a viscious circle. LIke last time I lost my license it was because of ONE ticket... 52 in a 35. I traveling behind a well light plow truck in a blizzard. He was the only other car on the road out west on Rt. 9 at about 3am coming back from a business trip. So I told the cop I was not concerned wiht the speed as I just wanted to get home safely since my Datsun had no freekin snow tires and there was a thick, crunchy layer of snow on the road... he gave me a ticket anyway and since it was within 5 years of the 7/5 rule I got my license yanked AGAIN for 60 days. THANKS a lot Massachusetts. Now you might understand a little better why I'm not so keen on keeping a 1968 Camaro with Z/28 stripes and a 377 horsepower motor. Later on in life when I'm an old man I'll have a 1969 Camaro and I'll probably never get a ticket.

When I worked at Bill DeLuca Chevrolet the front showroom & lawn always had a Corvette or Camaro.... back in fall of 1996 (before I worked there) they had two C4s, a white/orange pace car '97 Camaro ragtop and a twin in T-tops. Years later when the last Camaro was sold (black 2002 SS T-top automatic ) we had a weird array of cars out front. First it was a Honda S200 in gray metallic, then a red 1996 Mustang Cobra (exactly like SP's) then we had a SAAB 900 ragtop and even a black Lincoln LS. The rest of the time it was either Vettes, or loaded up Silverados up front. ONe time we had a loaded up Cavalier LS in yellow, with the ecotech, all the spoilers & ground effects. I've also seen Camaros at Toyota dealers prominantly displayed & even a 1999 Porsche 911 ragtop at my old GMC dealership. That was kind of silly... sitting between a Sierra 1500 reg cab and a dual axle dump truck 3500.

Yellow Dart: Your observations are interesting and almost ridiculous. I know you're not exagerating because I've heard the same things form several other people.

Remember the Chevy Sprint Turbo? A Czech friend of ours had one it was bright red and his parking spot in the garage at our condominium was right across from our 1989 Cavalier RS sedan. That little 3-cylinder wonder was the focus of many of my childhood jokes. Waht was esp. funny abotu it was that they traded a 1976 Lincoln in for it. How do you go from a four door 19' long tank with a 460 V8 to a 7' long 2 door sub-sub-compat with a 1.0 liter 3-cylinder.

A friend of our has a 2002 (or is it 2001) Ford Focus seadn and this problem keps comming back no matter how many times she has the lock cylinder & accessories replaced. She's getting really pissed wiht the car. It only has like 50,000 miles

How about Greenbrier? http://www.corvair.org/chapters/chapter840...Housekeeper.JPG
