  1. So I ran across this baby in some old images I had at an autoshow with my dad, Gotta love old pictures. So I hunted these down online and decided we needed to start a thread of our First Love Affair with Auto's! Sound off on what was the first auto you saw that sent you on your way to just love Auto's. AMX3 for me! 1970 American Motors AMX/3 Prototype Tucked into the corner of the Chicago Auto Show, this may be the greatest American sports car that never was. Seeking to keep pace with Italian and Detroit automakers exploring mid-engine designs, American Motors commissioned its own take in 1970. Six copies of the AMX/3 were built in Italy, using a layout similar to a DeTomaso Pantera, powered by a 340-hp version of AMC's 390 V-8. Financial troubles would kill the AMX/3, but the six prototypes survived, including this one restored by the family of designer Richard Teague.
  2. They said below the 500 & 600 price of the PS3 more inline with what Microsoft has charged for new XBox's. This Xmas. Guess it will be a busy time for PS4 or what ever they call it and the New XBox. I am very excited for the new xbox.
  3. Way to go, very excited to see your new baby. Awesome choice!
  4. Or how many deep fried Twinkies they can stick in their mouth.
  5. I am sure any of us would love to live in that interior, but the exterior is unsettling. Not a fan, looks dated and old. Then most who can afford these are with old money.
  6. Um, you know the Fisker has a gas engine too right? There isn't a single thing stopping you from being able to drive one from your house to Portland Maine. Yes, but in regards to the pure electric only auto's I still put them in the luxury golf cart category. Fisker is still an ugly car to me, the volt style technology I had hoped would stay in the use with an American Investment group, but it seems it will become china property sooner than most think.
  7. Pass. Sony sat on their ass and lost, they OEM panels from Samsung and others, nothing new or great about Sony TV's, Camcorders, computers or even this game console. They are on a slow death march which on name alone will keep them going but eventually will fad away. XBOX that is a cool freaking console and the upgrade based on what I have read and what I have seen on campus will blow this away. Better options than the over priced Sony stuff.

    Naw something was weird as I could not see it either so I went and Bing'd it and posted what I found. Love it
  9. Luxury Golf Carts for Inner City use is the best use at this time. They are not sensible or practical for real world use across any decent distance.
  10. weird, looks like something from the Buck Rogers in the 21st century show.
  11. That is one sweet ride. Very sharp
  12. Love that C50 I would buy it if I had money and it was available.
  13. Doors Cool, Exterior reminds me of the old Ford Probe, very ugly and the rear quarter panel sides reminds me of that first Honda ugly hybrid. The Dash is blah also and while I am impressed with the technical aspect of the car, I find no passion in the body, the interior or anything else for that. Souless car.
  14. So what is the status of this cool little number? Did you do it?
  15. Scallops
  16. Very Cool engine, but the car is butt ugly and to much mini van style.
  17. Very Cool Video! With Gas prices expected to hit $5+ a gallon this summer, I say do it as a CNG auto. 130 Octane, fuel at home and save big time for those tires you will be replacing every weekend.

    http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=MightyFC&FORM=HDRSC2# Great selection of images on a Bing Search, this is Jeeps Unimog. Very Cool!!!
  19. I'm pretty sure he used to have a website (or maybe still does) full of Holden Chops back in the GTO era. I used to have it bookmarked. The guy is good.... real good. EDIT: Just checked, not the same guy. But whoever "MonaroSS" is, I wish GM would give him a design job. I totally agree this guy needs to be working for GM as he is very talented.
  20. Does not matter, this just continues to preach that HP is everything when it is only one piece of the solution and instead of building a proper engine with Equal torque to HP they are relying on Electric motors to give it the torque. DOHC engines are not that efficient as marketing would like to preach.
  21. Great another Hybrid that produces tons of Green house gases. The Nickel-metal-hydride is even worse of a polluter than the lithium-ion. Course there is also the settlment ponds full of toxic liquid besides the 10 yrs worth of Green house gas produced when the battery is produced. Then most green tree huggers and mother earth lovers do not think about this damage, only the tail pipe emissions.
  22. We'll Looks are in the eye of the beholder, I just find it sad that you have an engine producing all the Horsepower and such reduced Torque. Sorry but for all the fans of these OVC engines, I still do not see how the weight increase of over head cams benefit a traditional GM V8 that produces Torque equal to HP. After all you can have all the HP you want, but if you do not have the torque it is a waste. Diesels have proven that Torque is what wins the war and moves mass, not HP.
