That Jag is an outdated POS compared to the XLR. The Benz is nice but a tad overpriced.

Me and XP715 are driving around at like 10:30PM tonight and we come to a stop sign... we're the third car in line. A 1992-ish Blazer S10 in front of us suddenly slams into the back of the first car in line. Glass shatters & the sound of crunching metal fills the air... both cars pull over. the rear of a 1998ish KIA Sephia comes into view. One tail light is pushed into the trunk... the litle Korean $h!box is probably totalled. Me and Ross give each other the "Oh $h!" look and start laughing our asses off. No one was probally hurt but a purple KIA just got wrecked. THAT's funny. I high-five him and we laugh like hyenas. Then something NOT so funny happens. The dirtbag in the Balzer lights up his rear tires on the black ice and takes off! I look at Ross... he just stares stunned. I tell him to floor it as his foot touches the firewall & we take off after the asshole in the Blazer. As we pass the KIA we get the deer in headlights from a girl in her late teens or ealry 20s. We desperatelly try to catch up to the Blazer but it's a lost cause, he flies down the road at dangerous speeds. Black ice & snow is still all over the roads since we got like 10" of snow today and this prick is doing like 60 in a 35. The asshole must have ducked into a side road because as soon as we hit a straightaway he was gone. Lucky for the girl Ross managaed to notice the plate, or at least most of it. Maine plate: "2507MC" to the best of his recollection. We went back to the scene of the accident to see if she was okay but the KIA was long gone. I blame myself for our inability to get this guy. If I had had my cell with me I could have called 911 right then and there and told all the local towns to be on the lookout for a dark colored Blazer S10 with a bent front bumper. As it stands we went back to my house and called the Chelmsoford Police Dept. but it was probably too little too late. What started as a funny story about a totalled purple KIA Sephia turned real ugly. I feel for her. Insurance companies suck and the burden of proof will be on her.

1987: Vienna Austria -via- Hamburg, Germany to JFK (NY, NY) & then JFK -to- Logan the same night (when I moved to the USA) 1989: JFK -to- Prague Czechoslovakia (visiting grandparents and relatives, flying solo at 10 Y.O.) 1992: Boston -to- Hamburg -to- Vienna (visiting relatives in Slovakia again, flying solo at 13 Y.O.) Lufthansa is such an awsome airline!!! 1994 & 1995: A few flights in a Cessna 172... got to take the controls a cople times 1996: Boston -to- Las Vegas (family vacation) 1998: Manchaster, NH -to- Charlotte N.C. -to- Tampa (visiting G/F & her mom on spring break) 1999: Boston -to- Cleaveland, OH -to- Tampa (visiting G/F & her mom on spring break) 2001: Boston -to- London UK -to- Vienna (visiting relatives in Slovakia) 2003: Boston -to- Las Vegas (vacation)

KF: ...still a RWD camaro is better than claining that the cobalt and Monte are mustng fighters. Give me a freeekin break!

Aren't the words "Civic" and "cool" mutually exclusive? I always thought when someone says "that's a cool Civic" or "Civics are Cool" they're being ironic. You know it just sounds like an Oxymoron.

Let's talk about O.J.s accomplishments in the NFL next... Fu*k political correctness... I'm with Josh. Certain individuals are jackholes plain & simple and their accomplishments will always be tainted. Like the Scumbag senator who represents my State who let an innocent girl die in the back seat of his 1969 Olds Ninety-Eight to avoid a DUI.

Alright... Just for laughs here's the sickest FWD car I've ever seen at a carshow. Like I mentioned earlier in this thread thei car was seen at the Car Show held at Adesa Auction House (formally a G-body GM plant) in Framingham Mass this past Saturday. Not poking fun at you KF, just trying to make fun of Ricers.

I'll probably put it on eBay for $1700 starting bid since that's the mimum I will ake for it and hope for $2500. Keep in mind this will be sans MOtor and trans. however. The photos I post here are flattering... the car has a spartan interior with an aluminum racing seat and removed carpeting... the rear quarters should have been done about 5 years ago and the paint is pretty much non-existant. I'm not in a position to do a ground up resto right now but I don;t want the car to sit outside for another 3+ years untill I do...

DArn it you're killing me KF. :P Alright I'll tell you what: I'll take the "Year-At-A-Glance Calendar" (please & thank you!) and I will send you a couple books of stamps for to at least cover your shipping costs. (the nature of my work leaves me wiht extra stamps here and there...) *KF stops twisting 68s arm* :D

KF: I think Ocnblu was saying like 20 years from now they will not be classics or cult cars like Camaros, Charger R/Ts & BMWs. I agree wiht the premissse of waht he's saying but just this weekind saw a Tercel at a carshow wiht a spray-can paint job. NO joke! Thios proves any POS wiht three or four wheels will at mose point be driven to a car show and displayed by some empty headed clown. There are a few exceptions. '66 Toro, '94 STS, 1980s VW GTi, '95 Riviera, '67 Eldorado, some Alfa Romeos perhaps.... FWD is forgivable sometimes.

It took three minutes for KF to sniff out a post including a refrance to a Monte Carlo.

XP715 & I, along with our buddy Chris went to a car show on Saturday... (no kidding) and along the way i got the munchies. So I tell Chirs to pull inot the McDonalds along the way in Marlboro Mass, he puts on his blinker, dowshifts his 1996 Cobra and coasts into the parking lot to come upon this scene: A 75/80 year old gentleman and his wife stepping out of a clean as a whistle Rolls Royce Corniche convertilbe. Yes, in the McDonalds parking lot. XP looks at the interior and reads a plaque engraved wiht a bunch of British Hand Built Hokus-Pokus and the subtitle: ONE OF FIFTY-SIX. We ended up behind them in the line at McDs and were surprised to hear them order up a non-value menu item. LOL

I've also read it's illegal to be a Pussy in New Hampshire. (couln't resist) Ocnblu... you crack me up.

Link not working... The truck sounds AWSOME!

Remember this sig? Since that was taken my STS's windshiled was smashed by some punk while it was parked at a friend's house... the Fleetwood Brougham was sold ot a guy in Vermont who will drop in a motor far better than the 307 that powered it and the Camaro, saddly will be goig to a new owner in the spring. But all that aside the Datsun is my daily driver and has acquired almost 17,000 more miles since that photo was taken.

Is it just me or is Ferrari recycling styling elements from every manufacturer and era between a 1977 Trans Am to a 1999 Hyundai Tiburon and a 1980s TVR to a 2006 Corvette Z06. More and more Ferrari is becoming a overpriced excuse for a penis extension. How sad.

Dude I'm so effin Jealous it's ridicilous! Wow I want one. One thing though: you need to go to the dealer and get that recall taken care of, you know the missing third pedal. There's clearly only two and that's messed up. How did you manage to drive it home like that? Geezz... hoe noe of the synchromesh got messed up. Two words: heat gun

The Beatles... pretty much anything from the Beatles. also - U2: esp. Joshua Tree, "streets have no name", "still haven't found..." "w/ or w/out you" - Led Zep - Pink Floyd: the whole Wall album - ABBA - Nazareth - John Lennon "Give Peace a Chance" - Jean Michelle Jarre (if you don't know then you need not ask) :AH-HA_wink: Remember I lived in Slovakia untill 1987 so there's other stuff you guiys have never heard of and never will.

Rt. 27 (headed north) Sherborn Mass., Saturday January 21st 2006, 3:45pm A DMC12 in mint condition. Sorry passed by too quick for me to have grabbed a photo. Don't believe me? Ask XP... he was there. We also saw a few exotics like a silver Ferrari 360 and a Bentley ragtop. I've got a couple more I'll post WITH pics.

Wow, I remember you telling me bits and pieces of this when we hung out and had dinner at that awsome Buffet by B&N when I visited in Nov. I thought there was probably some intresting memories for you on this farm. You seem to rememebr it fondy, except for the Sapporo. Thanks for sharig Blu... you have a way of describing things in a cool way, a little bit like one of my favorite Automotive Writers: Peter Egan. Oh, Oh-oh-oh Ooooohhh! OHHHHH!!!!! Can I have first dibs? Pleeeeeeeease!? The awsome collection of ads WMJ sent me recently has put me into Automotive Collectibles & Memorobilia phaze again. I'd love to trade you or pay you for some of those treasures you have that you're willing to part with. I'll give them a loving home. Someday I want an old School "study" or library in my house wiht the dusty Mohogany bookshelves and persian rugs and have all my thousands of magazines, books and otehr junk organized for viewing/accesing pleasure.

Yup... a stock GTO would walk away from a Crown Vic in a flash. I mean you're dealing wiht a full size BOF car with 4.6 liters versus a 5.7 liter unibody coupe with a much less parasitic drivetrain. This is like comparing a new BMW M5 to a Cadillac DTS. Not even close.

Not as cool as the Firefly! That was priceless. A Geo Merto wiht a Pontiac Arrowhead on the nose! LOL

Plus at the local drive-in Theatre it was easier to cop-a-feel from the poodle wearing girl sitting next to you. I'm too young to know this from experience but I can only imagine.

Agreed balthy.. I once lusted after a olive green 1968 Firebird Ragtop with a 400, white interior and 3-on the tree... the best part? BENCH SEAT! What a weird custom job and yet somehow it worked for me. The car was for sale in Shewsbirry Mass. Some old Hermit was dying at a ripe old age and decided to sell off his collection of 50s and 60s cars. Among them were several forgetable Jaguars (no E-types) a 1963 Split Window in gold, 1964? Avanti, (the REAL Studebaker not the subsequent re-releases) and a couple late 50s. ThunderTurds. BTW: nice post Harley, as usual. B)

AHAHAHAHAH!!! Ocnblu said Datsun. Isn't it an addictive word? "Dah-T-soon" Such a weird name. Sounds all friendly and harmless like a puppy dog wiht mental retadation. Unlike Nissan whihc has ties to the nationalist dark days of the Rising Son. I'm so glad I have a Datsun Maxima instead of a Nissan.... even though 70% of the emblems/logos on the car are Nissan. 81 Phoenix wiht a sideways blower? HOT!!!
