I hope you're right Moltar.

I WILL own a Corvair at some point in my life. This one is a cool car. I'd love to put muscal notes on the rear fins. 1958 Olds Dynamic 88 Holiday 4-dr. hardtop 31k original ,rust free,V8 $15,900.00

Robin is a wicked cool dude, he's drink Stalin, Rasputin & Ted Kennedy under the table!

Thanks guys. I've had a good day this far. Wen to my parent's house for early dinner (supper?) and got a few things done around the house. As of 2:30 this afternoon the STS is in the Elite Auto- motive parking lot and we're about 80% there to buying the Q45t. A few of the Touring Edition options are growing on me. It has the side airbags, real-time adjustable electronic shocks ana even specific floor mats embriodered "touring edition" Corny. But yeah the test drive was a blast, the car's got more sack than our Q, maybe the t is geared diff. Thanks for the Car Porn GM1. That's hardcore stuff right there. If that was girl porn it would be so hot it would be illegal in 7 states.

Dude, here in Mass a local junkyard sells steel wheels with tires for $5 a pop every last sat. of the month. I've bought steel wheels with 80% tread remaining before, just bring a four-way and take em off some junked Delta 88 or Caprice and you're good to go. Figure out your bolt pattern and go to a local junkyard.

My new Gateway Laptop And the super cool Lynrd Skynyrd Boxers! And here's Robin just as he walks through the door. In the time it took him to walk from his truck to the front door he already finished off half a beer. This guy's an animal. Same guy I went camping with last year around this time.

The "remind me later" thing was some funny stupid word I made up. Like a week ago we had a little party and I was joking around with someone and I said Sleevland Cleamer. That made me crack up & laugh for like 7 minutes. It was so damn funny I was in stitches. Sleveland Cleamer! Anyway here's the next photo:

Awsome! First time for me was in shortly after we came to the USA. My dad was working two jobs and his job at night was a Cab Driver. I was about 9, possibly 10 and he sat me on his lap adn let me take the blue & white (Blue Cab Co.) 1984? Dodge Diplomat for a spin around the parking lot. It was in Roslindale right by the "Bradlees" (now out of business) and Stop & Shop Supermarkets. It was very cool. I guess a RWD Mopar with a baby V8 (318) is not a bad first drive.

I aim to please. I'll also be posting more Camaro videos soon.

Where I am in my life right now I'm kind of at a turning point. It used to be the only thing that mattered about a car for me was 0-60 times and styling. This is why I bought the STS, plus Marcia loves those Caddys too but it was mostly cause it had great style and the Northstar is such a beast of a motor. I've driven a lot of "fast" cars and had a lot of fun burning rubber in every which way possible, now I'm ready for the next step. I can not restore the Camaro in the next few years I do not have tons of cash to pour into th e car and it's getting old trying to fix it on a budget (half assed) becasue I do not consider the car as fun as it once was. When it was just me & Marcia we had a lot of fun in the Camaro. Mostly me, but even she took it for a drive a couple times. Now it's turned into a selfish toy that only I can enjoy. Last time I went to the Tewksbury car show Sofia came along with Macria in the STS and followedd me in the Camaro... what fun is that? I want a car the whole family can ejnjoy and as it turns out my obsession with tail fins, tons of chrome and the unconventional has lead me to a 1959 Buick. It works out perfectly, Marcia likes it so I don;t get as much resistnce as with a 61 Cadillac (she's not as big of a fan of the 61 Caddy) If I HAVE to restore a '59 Buick ground up it will be worth it to me versus the Camaro, which is so not all that original or unique. They're very popullar... there's over a dozen 1st gen. Camaros in my town alone, like 5 of them are 1968s. Hell my neighbor's son has two of them! No matter how much money I invest in a 1968 Camaro I'll never e the quickest one at the track unless I win the lottery and I will be one of several guys at the carshows with a 68 Camaro. As cool as they are I'm not going to be that much of a rebel by having one. It's predictable. But even if I invest thousands into a 59 Invicta flat top or whatever I will not regret it. Any 59 Buick short of an Opel by Buick has bold styling, a menacing presance and unforgetable lines. It's one of the few 50s cars that can be described as having both tail fins, ourrageous brightwork and yet super clean uncluttered styling. The 58 was over the top and the 60 was tonned down too much. In 1959 they got it perfect. So when I get one it will not be beat on, jimmy rigged, half assed or abused in any way. Of course if I could beef up the frame and drop in a 455 from a Boat Tail with a heavy duty suspension/rear end set up like Balthazar with his Invicta I might be tempted to do an occasional burnout.

Wow... that sucks. Sorry Bro.

Craptastic attempt at a flower car Poncho. Too bad such nice car(s) were cut up and destroyed in the process.

There's a girl I went to high school with that is to this day the epitome of perfection in my eyes. Blonde, green eyes, muscular but a bit more "curvaceous" than most guys's "ideals". Sexy long legs, big, natrual well shaped chest and a just a little junk in the trunk. She was on the Soccer team and her long gorgeous blonde hair used to glisten in the sun like honey while her lips were that perfect shape... But I was not one of the rich or popular kids, I never had a chance. Funny thing is her mom drove a baby blue 1992 Olds Custom Cruiser.

I'm liking the angular styling and clean lines. I hate to say it but there's a bit of 1999 - 2002 Honda Accord Coupe Styling there. RWD and nice selection of V6 and V8 engines will make these cars winners in thier respective markets. Esp. if there's an AWD option acros the board. Hope the Elcamino & Impala Estate are a reality, as well as a few RWD products for Pontiac & Buick.

That is cool, kind of like a Tatra 613 meets a Porsche 928. Never seen this Nissan Trailrunner before, looks like an off-road Saturn ION - quad coupe.

I'm sooooooo sick of crossovers. 95% of them are wicked lame. The SRX and FX34/45 are the only ones I really like. The rest are mostly useless in my eyes. Even the Equinox, Torrent, VUE and Randezvous do not interest me in the least bit. The Enclave is anohter story all togeather. I think an Enclave might just end up in my garage at some point in the future.

Pontiac is not going anywhere. (dear God I hope) Either way Wiki is full of it.

Sooooo hot, soooo hot.... want to do a burnout.

Makes the ZR1 look like a Geo Storm. Well... you know what I mean.

I want to visit Quebec soon as well... I have not been back there since the late 1990s. Canada is a very cool vacation spot. I esp. love to visit for wacky reasons like when my family went out there for the Hot Air Balloon festivals in like 1997. Here's my tenative scedule: - April 15th: NYIAS, SpeedingPenguin should be riding shotgun with me in the Datsun - April 22nd: Datsun/Nissan meet in Buffalo, I'll be going with my buddy Renato. - July (weekend after 4th): Burnout Contest in Worcester Massachusetts at the Summer Nats. - Late Summer / early fall: I'll hopefuly be traveling to pick up a 1959 Buick (hardtop) Other than taht there's bound to be a few dozen 100mph or so road trips and a few more serious ones. I'd love to visit the home country (Slovakia) and/or fly or drive out to Arizona to visit Duffy in Fountain Hills and see the Grand Canyon again.

Drag your feet for about 20 years and you just might be able to buy a mansion with the money you'll get at Barrett Jackson.

The longer we have the Q the better I feel about buying it. Marcia still says she misses the power of the mighty Northstar and the Driver Information Center but she "loves" the Infiniti and she's pickier than I am. But speaking of less power & cu. in. in the 4100 Infiniti V8 it does have an upside. I just calculated the fuel economy and the numbers are good. The best we ever averaged with the STS was just about 20 mpg. Usually just under 20. If I drove it a lot it was 18.0 on the nose. But with Marcia's driving it averaged high 19s. One time I drove like 57 in a 55 for like half an hour so I could bump up the average to 20.0 on the D.I.C. because Marica had been averaging 19.8. Well so far we've driven 1990 miles in the Q45 and in that time the car has burned through 109.7 gallons. So the car has been getting 18.1 miles to the gallon. Keeep in mind that 90% fo those miles were on 2 bad Knock Sensors, a malfunctioning MAF and no 55mph driving was involved. As a matter of fact Marica has done about 60% of those miles while the other 40% was me doing 0-70mph runs at every stoplight and doing business miles in light traffic at 30mph or at night going 83mph. I'm pretty confident with more gentle miles & all the maintenance taken care of now we'll get close to 20mpg. This is not bad since the car is RWD, full size and hefty. It's also a lot less aerodynamic.

Fly: Sorry to hear about this THIRD accident. That sucks. Almost as if the car is cursed or something. In any case good luck getting it repaired quickly, and more so, correctly! Leaks are often a problem when a car is hit like this and repaired incorectly. Make sure the body-shop you take it to has a rock solid reputation.
