Yup, I hear you Shayes. If someone cuts me off wiht a blinker and a wave of the hand as if to say thanks (like I had a choice in the matter) I'm not usually pissed. It's when someone cuts me off and can't even use the effin blinker that I get pisssed. Damnit I hate idiots too lazy to use thier blinker. If I was a cop I'd give out tickets for that all day long. To hell with speeding and other dumb crap, blinker usage, hogging the left (passing) lane and driving like a moron while yacking on the cell phone would be major offenses in my book.

No one called me on the technicality that the '96 9C1 (LT1 powerd) Mass State Trooper Cruiser is actually a Caprice Classic. I thought I was going to get bitched out for that one. Mauybe I should have just posted a bunch of Caprices & Biscaynes instead.

Wow dude, I'm sorry. That's a bummer. Now that you mention it this kid Lai who works at Autozone with Ross has a thing for D/N/I and has a daily driver 1988 NIssan 240sx. Beat up, gray metallic faded paint, rotted floors and as of Friday night: STOLEN! The car is a beater and looks the part. He's not even all that pissed about the car, the poor thing was on its way to becoming a parts car soon but it's the principle of the thing. He drove around in his 200sx looking for it. The cops told him if he found the scumbags that he could give them a good smackdown and as long as he keeps it to a good clean beating they'll look the other way. So if anyone anywhere sees a 1988 super-faded-gray Nissan 240sx hatchback wiht mas plates and grimy stock wheels please let me know. Basically this car with 200,000 miles.

Useless piece of crap! It's RWD therefore it will never make it up any hill i the snow, it will fishtail out of control at the slightest amount of throttle and black ice will leave it in the snowbank as we all know only FWD and 4x4 vehicles stop safely on slippery surfaces. [/obnoxious_sarcasm]

Bring it on Brotha' Let's have a battle of the weird! :D

WMJ: Sorry bud, here you go. :) Originally posted on www.buick-59.com by "Centurion" (Brian Laurance) Here's one of the cool historical photos from 1959, showing Buick's General Manager, Edward Ragsdale, and his wife, Sarah, with Buick's 2-millionth pillarless hardtop, a 1959 Electra 225 flattop. As the accompanying story indicates, the Ragsdales are given credit for the development of the industry's first production pillarless hardtop, the 1949 Buick Roadmaster Riviera. Buick was a major purveyor of the pillarless body style, and, along with Olds, was the first to introduce a pillarless 4-door hardtop in 1955. At the time of this '59 photo, Buick had produced more hardtops than any other manufacturer. While lacking the appeal of a '59 225 convertible or Invicta Estate Wagon having the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car graphics, it's fun to consider the idea of painting a white '59 225 flattop with the 2,000,000th hardtop graphics. Such a car would certainly be an attention-getter and great conversation piece.

I used to work for a Vinyl shop. A franchise actaully called Sign*A*Rama. It was my first real job out of college and my only real job in my field. (Graphic Design) You know me, cheap and a scavanger, I used to save any and all scraps that we were going to throw out. The light gray decals I6, Rice etc. are actaully reflective vinyl. Same exact stuff used on road signs and such. It's like $5 a square foot. I still have some burgundy, black, white & silver vinyl left, any of those colors work for you? I'll make you custom Delta 442 emblems and send them along with your next package. (I found a couple Dealer Promo plates fianlly) The ones on the Datsun are sloppy cause they were just for fun but here's some better looking and more clean ones I also cut out freehand using just a ruler and a mechanical pencil to sketch out the basic design and then cutting with a super fine exacto knife. these are on the windshield header of the '68 Camaro BTW

NO clue but I want one!!!

Super 8 and Kahuna were gross, but I LOVE this. (no surprise there) I think it's about effin time GM makes a retro 1969 Camaro, don;t you?!?! Jesus, worse case if they don't I'll just buy one of these suckas and change about the tail light and headlights to make my OWN retro '69 Camaro. Drop in an LS7/6spd. manual and VOILA! B)

So the other day while at a junkyard I notice a mid 70s Datsun pickup sitting there, sinking into the mud slowly but surely. And I noticed the old school obnoxious Datsun emblem was still attached to the frail plastic grille. Well, I've been waiting to find a big Datsun emblem so I could replace the NISSAN badge on the grill of the Maxima so this was the day. Check out the results below. Also, in another thread recently I said I'd post the pictures of the custom cut vinyl decals I affixed to the Datsun. Here they are... Clockwise from top left: Just below the passanger side headlight, driver's side fender & trunklid. Yes it's rice but just wait till I turbocharge this little tin can... I can already hear the blow off valve going Swoosh! Vroooomm-SWHOOSH - tires chirping - repeat. :metal: :lol:

Thanks GM1. I was pretty proud of that, esp. since i managed to line up her hands wiht the trim on the Buick and her blouse matches the vanity plate. You have NO idea how much time I wasted looking for a pic of a '59 and J-Lo that would meld like this. Mean time my computer keeps crashing. :CG_all:

On a more positive note the Luscerne in your sig looks delicious in an Infiniti kind of way.... that little FWD POS is growing on me. :P

First off: :lol: And the correct term is B.O.B. get it right! (battery operated boyfriend)

Fly: now that you mention it, YES I think GM needs to take more responsibility for how it's products are distributed and sold. I can say having sold GM product for years (and nothing new other than GM) that in many cases GM dealers are GM's worst enemy. I have a few good friends who are car salesman, but then I also know several who are pompous, lying, egotistical DICKHEADS! On more than one occassion I've been witness to a GM customer being so disgusted he walked off mumbling something about Ford/DCX/Toyota or whatever under his breath as he/she walked out of the dealership. :(

How about that Hockey fight in Cremazie's Avatar there... :metal:

C'mon now, you must have at some point felt like this! :)

They say pictures are worth a 1000 words, so here you go: or you could pay tons more for a brand new one of THESE: Back in College a Hippie girl had a canary yellow '75 Corolla (or was it a 76?) and it got stolen right out of the parking lot. I felt bad because the car (let's face it) was kind of irreplacable and being that it was RWD and a stick I thought it kind of cool in a quirky kind of way. We were all preplexed, like WhoTF steals a canary yellow '75 Corolla in 1999???

Balthazar: Remember when we hung out last week we talked about this? You're one of the few people who actually realise this fact. And we're not even factoring in the extra maintenance costs associated wiht Hybrids and the fact that they're rarely if ever discounted. I once read an Article about fuel efficience by Jay Leno... what he said was something like this: Durring the mid 1970s fuel crisis people started buying up new econoboxes like Toyota Corollas and Datsun 510s like crazy. (once again taking advertising for fact instead of using their brain) Now a miniature 1975 Corolla with a miniscule 71 cubic inch motor cost about $2700 brand new. But at the very same time you could have bought a HUGE, gorgeous and luxurious car with all the bell sand whistles like a 1968 Oldsmobile Delta 88 or a 1970 Buick Electra or even a 1969 Cadillac Sedan Deville for like $500 in MINT shape wiht low miles. Now let's assume the HUGE land barges mentioned would average 10 mpg. We know they do better than that but let's just asume the worst. Mean time the Corolla would average 30mpg (justv for the sake of argument let's round up) And gas back in 1975 cost about $0.67 (according to Google) So now let's assume we drive 20,000 miles a year just for shits and giggles: Corolla: 20,000 / 30 = 666 gal 666 x .67 = $446 (told you Toyotas were evil) Land Yacht: 20,000 / 10 = 2000 gal 2000 x .67 = $1340 So in other words you'd have to drive that little pissant Corolla for two and a half years and about 50,000 miles just to break EVEN! And mean tie you're driving a little shitbox POS car made of recycled newspapers and tin foil. OR You could have been riding around in a couch on wheels and enjoying all the finer things in life. your choice. :)

Hmmmm... I hate politics, but I'll chime in on one thing: I'm starting to realize that not every conspiracy theorist is a lunatic. <_<

God I've had a bad F***ing day. Marcia's being a b!tch again and on top of it I hate hearing bad news like this. Here's an idea. Why don;t we ship every freekin job overseas?!?! Maybe we can oursource the CIA, FBI and even the immigration service can be headquartered in Mexico. The only one wiht a job will be W. :angry:

Wow, where do you find this stuff!? Look at those blind spots. :P

I rode in Balthazar's truck last week when we hung out durring my road trip. Not to knock it but it's a Ford F150, 4.9 liter inline six and automatic trans... not exactly the kind of truck that is massively under rated. And if it IS, then think what a F350, powerstroke diesel Dooley can do?

I guess... I read the magazines, I just don;t agree the propaganda reflects reality.

1997 STS: 128mph :angry: 1997 Grand Am: 115mph <_< Everything else I've ever had was drag limited. I bealieve the same for the Datsun. The Camaro however will easily do about 150 wiht more RPM left. The problem is it takes a madman like myself to take it past 120... at some point even MY survival instincts kick in. I'll gladly sign!
