Thank You & good night. HOT NOT

First off that story deserves it's own thread... second you didn;t tell the best part. The towing company refused to drive down that hill even with their 4wd trucks... they brought out TWO wreckers (one of them being a HUGE international) and secured the first truck wiht the second just in case. The hill was so icy in fact that the tow truck driver said he would not drive down it even with tire chains. The best part is that the car slid that way while I was backign up for my third attempt to get up the hill... all four wheels stopped turning and the car just kept sliding down the road. No damage luckly. :P

I heard about this but was told it was a Dodge. Sweet Post!!!

Not for nothing but ask XP715 if he's ever heard a car as sick as my Camaro that is driven on the street. 7000 RPM out of a Smallblock Chevy funneled through two headers and flowmasters is where it's at for me. NO H or X pipe to mess up the stereo. :metal: Ferraris are nice but turbocharged air cooled Porsches are my favorite nonV8 exhaust note.

I used to say that as a joke when I had my '86. If I was leaving the house I'd tell the G/F I'm going to go cause some trouble in the "Brough-Gham".

Let's just make a 8 passanger funeral coach Deville with an 11" stretch but call it an opera coupe. :rolleyes: A four "door coupe" is like saying 2+2=2. Doesn't work.

Sorry to butt it but since I've riden shotgun in Ross's Riviera about a hundred times: The two different colors of wood in the car are about 7 shades off... it's weird. One looks like mohogany and the other like walnut. Not even close if you're colorblind.

:cheers: Cheers to GM1, Balthazar, Camino, Black&BlueLandscaper & Ocnblu for meeting up with me on my crazy spur-of-the-moment road trip to NJ & PA. :cheers: Cheers to Blathazar again for reminding us that just becuase it's newer does not mean it's better. :cheers: Cheers to WildManJoe for sending me dozens of awsome GM advertisements from the '60s, '70s and '80s and a some Minn. plates. (I sent a few plates from New England states in return)

Make it RWD.... :D

First off MT said like a decade ago that the Corvette Brand would be stand along with sedans, coupes and Blah-blah-blah.... who cares. It's all just BS speculation. 2nd, -Camaro-: you think a V6/I4 roadster will steal sales away form Camaro??? The Vega name sucks plain and simple... Corvair has a better chance of coming back then that '70 joke for a non-exploding Pinto. And how exactly do you know the Camaro will weigh 4000lbs? Are you an insider too now? :huh:

I hear ya... the STS cuts off about 2000RPM shy of redline and at a pathetic 128. :( Not even enought to get arrested for if you're in a 65MPH zone... OCN: what was your Autobahn Burner? Corvair?

Dude that's so sad... I hope thing start looking up for you. You deserve to be happy. :mellow: All the best in 2006 Ocnblu. Check your PM I sent you something for your sig if you want it. I got baked like a potatoe wrapped in aluminum fopil last night. First time ever.... I tried it one before but it didn;t do anything for me. I did so much fo that crap lazst night I'm still high. :wacko:

GM will do a nicer job of the actual car no doubt. :D This photo has aged very poorly.... at first it looked awsome but now it looks, um... awkward.

Sorry... I like the car for one reason and one reason ONLY: cause it's got a Buick emblem on it. AS a GM fan I'd buy one, but if it was a Ford or Dodge or whatever I'd dismiss it as another Taurus or Intrepid fwd whatever. Just being honest.

Damn, I might just take another roadtrip down there for a ride in that monster.... talk about cool. I'd love to look down my nose at a Lexus LS from that pre-war beast. Give it a loud exhaust note just like the truck in Jeepers Creepers. :P

Mary Jane and me hooked up for the first time ever last night and I had WAY too much, so I'm still very much not coherant. As is my gramar. My friend Robin came over last night and we were playing Syphon Filter II on playstation and he was all dude get a freking PSII and I told him I was saving all my money for a '59 Buick so he just went out and bought me one. Cool huh? the thing is freekin tiny... like a miniature bible. Anyway were palying Homer Hit& Run and it was AWSOME! I already owned a few PSII games and I used to play them on my room mates console but even GT3 pales in comparison to the entertainment value in that Simpsonsgame.... it's awomse. OF course I was having trouble doing basic things and at one point I forgot whatr the hell "control" means. Crazy. Alright I gotta stop. Bye. P.S. XP invited me to tommorow's Bruins game! this is the coolest day ever.

I think the best kind of sleepers have faded paint, several cosmetic flaws and a few mechanical components that seem to make the car almost non-road worthy. :) A Scummy 1971 Chevrolet Nova is a great start... if it's a FOUR door!

XP: That was a night I'll never forget, the speeding ticket was the least of your troubles. Someday you should post the story. :P As far as myself in the past year: Datsun: 125 STS: 128 Camaro: Felt like 170.... but in real;ity I think I've done about 140. If I restored the old squeeky suspension and put in thighter springs it would be capable of a lot faster. I mean at 2800 I'm doing about 70 so at 6000 RPM I'd think even wiht the air resistance and all the other factors it has to be low 140s. The car revs to 7000rpm so 150+ is possible.

Bump!

POP QUIZ! A quick recap. Let's see how much you have learned from my trivia over the past year. 1. What car from the 1990s was powered by an exotic DOHC engine, had a turbo-to-cyliner ratio of 1:3 and it's engine was offset fomr the centerline to accomodate the complex transmission? 2. What car was released upon the American public on Sept. 29th, 1966? 3. Name this interesting "hybrid" car. 4. Who was the famous Amtomotive figure whos' taxidermied Shark was repainted to match a concept car without his knowlege? 5. What is the most interesting "selling feature" of the futuristic 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham? Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable New Years even and a productive and fun-filled 2006. My first resolution is to own a '59 Buick by next Halloween. My second is to do daily trivia just like I did this past summer. With your participation I just might be able to pull it off. (if the mods don;t accuse me of spamming) :D

Ocnblu: Ummm... Err, that sounds kind of offensive, you know the initials... and the, uh, nevermind. :P All joking aside you speak the truth my friend. God Bless you and your clear, level headed synopsis. I feel the exact same way but I have an idiotic and sometimes hostile way of showing it. RWD really is the missing link wiht GM. All else is there: quality, powertrains, and styling is getting better every day. RWD is the Holy Grail of GMs World in 2005.

Another '70 Imperial. No RR styling cues ANYWHERE! Happy New Year everyone! Here's wishing everyone's automotive fantasies get fulfilled in 2006. Hopefully this will include a four door hardtop 1959 Buick Invicta for me.

yes. too short, too tall to stubby and too... fat. Here's some Imperials they should look at before goign back to the drawing board.(keep the suicide doors) 1970 :wub:

A few more Mopars... the Pentastar was where it was at in the mid-50s for crazy 4dr hardtops.

Ocnblu: if you still are not in on the joke then PM me and I'll fill you in.
