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.

My daughter's B-day party is the 14th... one of only a few things I will not give up to see the Camaro concept and meet up with C&Gers. :( The good news is that I'll probably be there on the 20th and/or 22nd. XP715 can't come along which sucks... but I'll try to tag along with another friend. Running out of people to ask. So far three friends are working and one just doesn't want to go at all.

Intererstig how the front and rear wheel arches are mismatched... understandable as it's a Lambo trait. :)

Not really... it was a simple 2.5 minute Google search that led me to this site. :P But did I mention I've spent 60% of the past 10 hours playing Simpson's Hit & Run?

Razor: Sounds like you had awsome luck with the '86 LeSabre. I may be buying a 1983 LeSabre soon... long story. Pre-emissions in Mass and rwd... but same quality and reliabiity hopefully.

What is this wheel you speak of?

Wow.... GM1 gets 100% on the first try! Impressive, you are a worthy adversary. :)

I've owned two cars that required ZERO manitenance... As in NOTHING besides an oil change. 1983 Pontiac Firebird T-top(crate 350) Bought with 180-something thousand miles and driven for 12K miles in one year. --- 1987 Mercury Cougar XR7 Bought with 83,XXX miles and driven for 16 months and about 15,000 miles. I also had a few cars which required less than $100 (one hundred) worth of service and never broke down on me, best example: 1991 Chevrolet S10 Blazer 4.3/5speed 4x4 (drove it for like 26K miles!) Replaced a broken Vacuum switch for 4x4 system, Labor & parts: $50-something Also did a full front brake job but that's wear & tear not maintenance. Now as far as the Camaro goes I've spent a lot of money on it, but I can safely say there's only about $200 of that over the course of my 3+ year of ownership that was worn/broke/malfunctioning... the rest of the $1800 in manitenance costs have all been a result of abuse by yours trully. Drag racing, Burnouts, Drifting, Street Racing & Daily driving on a never-been-restored 38 year old car will do that to you. Some components that I've broken due to my stupidity and nothing else: - Original 10-bolt rear end. Replacement: $100 (friend hooked me up w/ his old one out of a '67) - THM350 trans Leaky gasket pissed out all fluid, 68 shifted at 6900 rpm wiht a bone dry trans pan. (ouch) Replacement from junkyard: $100 - Rag joint on steernig column coupling... $35 - Broken throttle cable: $0 (nothing a wire coat hanger can't fix!) - Front fender & lower valance off a '67: $150 - Broken exhaust hangers (several) $0 When you have three boxes of leftover parts off demolition derby cars, the shed is your 'parts store'. - Crushed Wheel, studs & lug nuts on left rear... $15 for good samaritan who lived three houses away from where my wheel got torn off. This guy had a 1979 Camaro, two 1970 GTO (one of them a clone) and a '68 Nova.

This is a neat website... found it in my google search for Macho Man Slim Jm TV commercial fottage for the Corvette Pace car thread. http://www.retrojunk.com/ Check out all the classic cars in this 80s ad. ('69 Firebird, '65 Mustang, '70 Chevelle) http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/691/

What's a Glock??? I've only mentioned like 12 times on this forum how it's my favorite firearm. (Sig is my #2 choice) Glocks are so damn cool they're no longer legal for sale in my retarded liberal state. (Mass) Een buying one used is a nightmare. When I used to go shooting wiht my buddy Alex we'd often times shoot with his Glock .40, what a sweet gun. Love it. Now he's a cop down in Virginia and I'm left to fend for myself if I want to go shooting. :( How the hell did this thread turn to gus anyway? Noly @ C&G. :lol:

Damn it I think you;re right about that. I could have sworn I read the late 70s Cadillacs were the first to use fibreoptics.

Malibu Maxx ass mixed with a chunky greenhouse and gross proportions makes me wish they were redesigning the SRT4. This thing sucks!

P.S. those rims are AWSOME!!!!

Yes a little bit of GT40 but who cares? This is awsome. Retro is in full swing and it just seems to be getting better. Bring it! (although that Imperial in neither retro or good looking)

Jan. 5th 2005 Yes it's recycled from last year... I think I made thi in like June but with all these new members I thought it'd be fun to repost it. :D

Yeah, I killed a guy. I killed a guy with a Tri-dent. But seriously the paint is cool for a HotWheels but kind of loud for the real world. I bet Elton John is ordering one up right now. Also that wrestler who did the Slim Jim ads would love this car.... it matches his glasses.

Yes indeed and it was the first use of fibre-optics on a production car. Just a silly footnote in history that will no doubt be claimed by Lexus thirty years from now.

1.)Which vehicle has the smallest amount of interior volume Scion xA (guessing) 2.) while the silverado offers a full range of body styles, which competitor does not include an extended cab body style ram 3.) which feature provides driver adjustablity on the 2006 malibu and malibu maxx avalible power adjustable pedals 4.) how much cargo space is in the 2006 hhr with the rear seats removed? (didnt know you could remove them...) 63.1 guessing... the seats have to be removable for it to be classified as a truck... same with the PT 5.) which truck is avalible with a powerful, light weight aluminum vortec 5.3 v8 engine Silverado Extended

Name a GM car from the late 70s that used fiber optics and explain where/how.

Yeah indeed when Stude plastered taht stand-up grille on that sleek coupe it did ruin it... the HT body style on this Commander helps beutify it too instead of the fat door frames. That dashboard is horrendous though... well it's a C+ overall but the placement of the gauges gets a solid F.

Hmmm... note to self: After obtaining large amount of money buy a Porsche 917 to impress Mute. After all what could be more insane than a Flat-12 when he's so impressed by a flat-8. :) Oldsmoboi: The opera coupe would be great for a V16 but I think a straight-sixteen would require another 5 feet or so. :D
