Apples to apples... the 1996 Caprica/Impala was RWD, V* and still got decent fuel economy and was as safe great handeling car. Just ask any cop who was on the force long enough to remember. OB-effin-VIOUSLY I'm not a proponent of not keeping up wiht fuel economy & safety standards... in 1969 the Impala DID get good fuel economy same as a 2007+ Impala wiht a DOD V8 would get GREAT fuel economy all things considered. I don;t know why it is Fly that you think just beacuse us RWD/BOF guys want old school styling (or mildly retro) and RWD it means we want 1950s or 1960s technology. It goes without saying that a 2006 Impala gets better fuel economy than a 1969... if a car 37 years newer and 1000lbs lighter wiht a much smaller EFI engine can not get fuel economy superior to it's ancestor then GM would ALREADY be bankrupt!

Great minds think alike. :CG_all:

It's a truck not a "vehicle" :P Seriously it's designed for durrability over all else.

By law vehicles that are regularly bought by the goverment have ot have DRL cutoff (over ride) so that when entering military bases and so on they can be driven wiht no lights on. That's what out GM rep. at Chevy of Lowell said about the cutoff in the Malibu and other Chevys. The 2 yellow and one red SSR that I see driving around this area have had their amber parking lamps on when I've seen them, or that's what I remember off the top of my head. Whatever. I won't really loose sleep over it either way. It does seem acording to the photos that they do not come wiht DRLs. If they did there would eb a shot of a SSRwith the amber parkign lights on but not the side markers.

I've been saying for year now the Panoz is gross... 4 parts bland, 3 parts bulbous and one part ugly! That nose is just terrible. Thsi Mullaen thing I've never seen before and it takes the cake for Ugly. Like a Ricer Boy's nightmare! :blink:

Well, you have NOW! ^_^

How about Bart's sleepover at the Flanders-eses. Rod & Todd: "Iron helps us play!" Crazy Clown Bed: If you should DIE before you wake! He-he-He HE!!!

Yup in the new millenium unfair practice breeds apathy. I think Griffon has the right idea! :)

Thanks Z28.... somehow it looks stretched like aone of those sketches/paintings from a classic GM ad but it wasn't. Another one I liked: Notice the yellow extension cord in this one coming out of the driver's side frotn valance/fender. This was just a few minutes after we put the wreath on but before we hooked up the inverter/ related wiring.

LOL... also the DRLs are not on.

Wow is right... :rotflmao: To each his own I guess!

That is one of the top 10 episodes ever... of course this commig from someone who has like 37 episodes on his top ten list. :P

TRC: Thanks for the catch, my bad... 90 million of course.

Forgot to mention.... we might have started a trend this year, already spotted is a white '94ish DeVille that has a wreath on the grille, no lights though. :P Of course I'm kidding, there's always a big yacht or two and a few pickups driving around wiht a wreath on the front. A guy in haverhill used to bolt up a big Rudolph nose to his 80s Ranger. That was funny!

Ever heard the song on the tape Olds gave to 80s customers... "There's a feeling of pride when you step inside" Ross has it on tape and we listen to it and laugh our asses off! Super cheesy 80s synthesizors (sp?) and some 'hand model for adog commercial' (his words) singing his heart out like he was Bon Jovi. All joking aside I love Olds. out of the list above my favorites are these three: 1939 Setting the pace - different times, different models, but always top-flight performance. 1940 - 1941 Styled to lead - built to last. 1966 Step out front in 66 ... in a Rocket action Olds!

That SAAB is crazy looking. It also has Massachusetts plates. Love those rims and mud flaps. B) BTW: the story of Henry Leyland is an amazing one... had he not been a Quaker and therefore Pacifist he probably never would have lived long enough to found either company since he probably would have been killed in battle durring the Civil War. He was such an amazing man, right up there wiht Mitchel & Earl.

That's the REAL reason. My "super sound system" on with my eighty-four Datsun is to be liked very much for qualities that superior are. It is great car transportation in new and classical art and beuty sense of style and very great skills in gas of saving. The independant suspension rear and bottom is very good to be admired and not just for cornering but corner in to be driven. :P

Cadilac need to build ther damn V16!!! As is, don't f**k wiht it. Even if they only manage to break even after selling them it'd be worht it. The car would not only be a flagship for Cadillac Motor Cars but also for ALL of General Motors. The Styling, perforamance & concept all score a big A+++. If a Sheik was wiling to pay $10,000,000 for one then they should have no problem selling three hundered of themober the course of 5 years at $300,000 each. That's 90 billion dollars! Damn it the development wowk is halfaway done! Bring it Caddy!

...and it's a 1979 Coupe DeVille painted its original "firethorn red" with a white leather interior, powered by a velvety-smooth 425 cubic inch Vee-8. In front of my house Close up That's right, I do in fact HEART vacations, paydays & weekends! Ross calls me up the other day and pitches this crazy idea of strapping down a wreath to the front of the Coupe Deville, since Marica was out for the night and I'm home wiht Sofia I'm like sure, let's do it up. He's almost pleasantly surprised that I'm goign along wiht such a crazy plan. I tell him I'm just surprised I did not get the idea first. I mean C'mon, it's a RED Cadillac with a white leather interior. A few bucks later we had a real pine wreath twisty tied to the grille & an inverter running off the battery with an on/off swith hooked up to the lights off the radiator support. It's such a cool attention grabber when we went cruising yesterday we got pulled over TWICE in Pepperrell, Mass within 10 minutes... each time just ended up conversing wiht the cop and the second time we even got an appology for getting pulled over twice in the same town. The cops had no problem with the wreath but did tell me to get an inspection sticker since I just bought it they just sent us on our way. When is the last time a cop pulled you over just to chit-chat? :P Anyway the whole thing is kind of silly and it was meant to bo tongue-in-cheek funny. It looks ridiculous to have a wreath tied to the front of an obnoxiously flamboiant Cadillac but it puts smiles on peoples faces and that's what the holidays are all about right? I've already gotten a few thumbs up and several waves since we put it on last friday. And today on Rt. 3 a Sequoia slowed down in the middle lane and the girl in the passanger seat snapped a photo of the car. That right there was worth it!

Wooops, I posted some family guy carp in my Simpsons thread for nothing.... It's peanut butta Jelly time, peanut butta Jelly time... peanut butta Jelly, peanut butta Jelly, peanut butta Jelly & a baseball bat Where he at? Ohhh, Where he at? Where he at? Where he at? Dey he go Dey he go Dey he go! I stil lgo to ebaums world sometimes to just laught at that, when they threw it into F.G. I laughed my ARSE off! :P

Evil Monkey in Closet!

Anyway moving on.... Family Guy is awome! American Dad is hit or miss and often tries too hard. I love Peter's annoying laugh and retarded brain activity. A local radio station does this whole thing where they'll throw in a Peter quote between songs.... like the one where Peter is talking about how killing Hookers is very uncool since they too are people, people wiht feelings who are willing to pleas you for a nominal fee which you can later negotiate in a sleezy private room. And no one should kill people who are willing to get naked for money. :P

I think the Bonneville is a blah-blah BLAH car and it's Yadda-yadda, yadda Bonneville wiht the racing it did at Bonneville esp with the new Bonneville and the Bonneville tradition Blah blah blabbity-blah. P.S. Bonneville kick ass... esp. Supercharged ones or RWD land yachts.
