I've got the metabolism of a Humming Bird... well used to. 16 --- 130 lbs 18 --- 135 lbs 20 --- 135 lbs 22 --- 137 lbs 24 --- 145 lbs 26 --- 165 lbs Twenty pounds in two years... some of it is muscle but not all. That's what having a baby will do to you. Makes you slow down.

Coolest thread ever... except for the spy pics of the next Camry... I'm creaming my pants. [/sarcasm] :lol:

It was spaghetti-Os... I thought that pretty made it obvious it was just meant to be humrous. Somehow I thought that a kid's pasta in a can made for a humorous way to say you suck. :P The best Kid's in the Hall Skit that was car related was this: "60-year old guy" in a hat and conservative coat walks out to a POS K-car and it will not start... so he proceeds to figure out the problem by process of elimination. First he refils the whindshield washer fluid then he washes the car then he paints the entire car with a roller this goes on and each time he has the "Wife" one of the other guiys in drag, turn the key to see if it will start. He makes no effort to check the battery, cables, starter, fuses... just keeps doing idiotic things completely unrelated to mechanicals. God I loved that show. God Bless Canada. :)

That's why I said buy one and slap some arrowheads on it... except I think the cheesy spoiler has to go as well.

Once the Buick is done I say we set up a skidpad, auto-course, slalom & 1/4 mile course so that Balthy's '59 Invicta can go head to head against Nick's BMW. I'll be there with a gas can of premium and a camcorder & camera. :)

Wow.... I'll let you know what I think of this as soon as I stop laughing at the name! (img) I'd post a 1978 Aspen but it might blind you.jpg (/img)

My first post was in the thread regarding the Camaro design contest... and shortyl after I was addicted to this damn site. *taps arm with index & middle finger* :P

I was going to post something but you beat me to it again... Bimmer: Except for the sewer grate vents that some people b1tch about I see NO difference. What exactly am I looking for? The Caddy's shifter is kind of oddly shapped but I'd be getting a stick anyway so next question.

Absolutely... not trying to put down your truck I was just saying that perhaps they worked out a lot of bugs between say 88 and 94. Either way the 90s Fords do very well... although I'm much more of a Chevy guy. Unfortunately rust kills 95% of either here in N.E. well before milage does. :(

LordStafford has been around? Kewl. I know Camio is around... visited him in Penn on my famous roadtrip.... as a matter of fact he was nice enough to let me crash on his comfy couch.... at 3am after hours of car talk. He's a real GM guy & true automotive/truck enthusiast. Hope he returns soon. B)

BV: Buy one and slap some Arrowheads on it! :)

Best looking Korean car ever... but that's not saying much. This looks like a mix between the early 90s Zender Fact4 and the late 90s Tommy Kaira ZZ2

Andover, Mass. (lived there from 1991 to 1997) -- Jay Leno (some of his teachers taught me..... 28 years later) -- Current prez. went to Phillips Academy in Andover. -- The peoiple who founded Smuckers Jam Haverhill, Mass (lived there from 1997 to 2002) -- Rob Zombie of White Zombie fame (also "House of a Thousand Corpses"...) Current hometown: -- Absolutely no one... since my burnout photos in Car Craft my Camaro is more famous (infamous) than all the residents combined. My inlaws live next door to the guy who wrote the script for 'Who Framed Rodger Rabbit'. He jogged past their house this summer when we were pulling in for the 4th of July BBQ. Jessica Rabbit is the sexiest animated female ever! :wub:

nope... not retro. They have just never evolved past the 1950s in terms of styling. This is not a bad thing. The squashed nose model form a few years ago is hideous. These two pictured are both clean and classic... but overpriced by about 300% esp. considering the POS 4-banger Ford motors.

Half IS better than nothing. We all nknow it's nothing personal such is life. I just might take you up on your offer... the biggest factor will be the gas money issue. :P As I work out the details I'll keep you posted throught PM, alright K.F.? :)

I have the first seasons of D.ofH. and Knight Rider on DVD and I think K.R. has just as many inconsistancies. Love that show but that silly Turbo-Boost bullshit is priceless for humor. :P

Wow... quick & accurate like a marksman with a .50-cal. We should have you hunting for Osama! :D

What just happened here? blink:

I'll take the Impala SS. :AH-HA_wink:

Honestly? I like this better. Not that I care much either way.

I've been on here for 13 months and have no recollection of him. I miss Camino and LordStafford though.

I have two recent experiences (not personal but through good friends) with 4.9 liter (inline-6) F150s from the late 80s that gave up the ghost in a nasty way well before the 200K mark. But your F150 on the other hand is a great truck. I only rode in it for a dozen miles or so but it did seem to be solid and in great shape. You could have told me it had 75,000 miles and I would have beleived you. :) I think you'd be pleasantly surprized if you flogged a new 1500 Reg. cab. Silverado. Even when plowed with these trucks hold up very well.
