I've got a adrelaine-hungry brain that craves both... but I'll definately rather blow the doors off a BMW at the lights 0-60 in my Camaro than be trying to sustain 130 or whatever. You guys are going to yell at me for saying such a sacriligious thing but the fastest I've ever actually driven (MYSELF BEHIND THE WHEEL) that I can confirm wiht a good spedometer is 135 in a '96 Mustang Cobra. That little DOHC is not half bad. I'm pretty sure I've gone faster than that in my Camaro and I'm almost positive I hit 140-something in it the time I walked away from a 1990-96 Vette. I eased up shortly after since the car's 190,000 mile, 38 year old suspension is so worn and tired that anything above 70 is scary. The STS would be a good car to try 150+ in but the damn gvernor shuts off at just below 130.

Yeah what gives? (I do like all the others though)

I voted "don't care" since I prefer 4-on-the-floor or some other form of manual trans. I only deal wiht automatics because it's so damn hard (or in some cases impossible) to find a car wiht a stick. But just for $h!'s and giggles let me break it down for you: There's some cars that should only have column shifters. - Cadillac/Olds/Buick Land Barges - Pickup trucks, esp. reg cab. - any car wiht a bench seat... *duh* And some cars are the opposite, they MUST have floor shifters otherwise it's retarded, like those Honda shifters that come out of the dash... - Small econoboxes - 2-seaters - "sports cars"

Neither. Jesus was, if you study his philosophy and teachings, more of a hippie than anything. He was all about peace, love and understanding. Therefore I say Jesus would have definatelly driven a RWD car. Specifically one of the following three: and yes, before you ask I'm being 100% serious. The guy studied in the far east, although the vatican has erased all of that out of the bible. WTF, one second we hear about Jesus at 8 years old next thing you know he's 32. What about all the stuff in between?

I've discovered that for me personally it's a much better and less harmful drug than alcohol. The seven or so times I've done it it was a lot more enjoyable than beer and it doesn't f$#k with my stomach hard liquer. But yes, I do practice the "everything in moderation" rule.

I ucfking hate you! Did I meantion my Datsun talks?

I like Edgar Allen poe & Robert Frost. Frost lived on a farm just a few towns over in N.H. for a good part of his life. Back in college I rote a paper on Sylvia Plath. So damn depressing.

Reg: Where do you live again? I though you were somewhere on the West Coast.

With any luck it"s stuck in the grille of a Camry... :wink: I hope that it did not hit a whidshield when you were doing like 105MPH snice it weighs like 8LBS.

There are 50 Tuckers out there give of take one, and they originally built 49 1959 Buick Flxible Ambulance/Hearse/Combos, even though only one remains, but there is and only ever will be one nasty, Kitchen Cabinet Green 1988 Blazer with full-floating soild front axle with quad shocks & more rust than the Titanic. :wink:

Toyota Supra Honda CRX Mazda RX7 Acura TSX (styling only... mechanicals suck)

GM1: Ask and you shall receive: BTW: Sean painted it with a roller (no joke) using "left over house paint" later on the same night I picked it up Ross (XP) pointed out that the paint matches his kitchen cabinets perfectly. Hmmmm.

I've driven plenty of 4-cyl Camrys... everything from 1988-ealry 2000s. They're all just-barelly-adequate for a car costing $18,000 nevermind $23,000 or whatever the high end of a Camry LE is these days.

Yes... I'm 26 and going on 27 in April and I had never been to a Nudie-bar. For shame.

That's a pretty "safe" prediction.

Even in a serious and deep thread like this Ocnblu cracks me up.

Yeah.. it's about as water tight as a screen door with a kitty-flap in it. If you have not noticed yet, Sean's kind of umm... Crazy is a nice way to put it. The guy built a HUMMER body from scratch on a '79 Dodge RAM 2500 frame. Teh whole hummer body is made of 1/4 inch steel. The guy's a maniac. If he really felt like it he'd make the Balzer water-tight in one weekend. Actaully speaking of his projects he stuffed his Suburban's nose into a tree while off roading. So instead of putting a new nose on the truck he borrowed the hood & bumper off his HUMMER and narrrowd it on each side by a few inches and tacked it onto the 'Burban. He's contemplating making it into a Hummer-Avalanche style hybrid that never was. I'm sure he'll do it next time he get's bored. Here's the HUMM-Burban we we're now calling it. Speaking of noses... I forgot to mention: The reason my '88 has the later style nose and a crinkle in the fender is because the previous owner (before Sean) drove the nose of the Suburban over a Lexus Trunk. Lexus: totalled, Blazer: smashed grille and slightly bent bumper!
