Wow! Heaters that are actually just called heaters! Packard called theirs a Thermo-Kinetic Diffuser in 1940

What a machine! Man, what I wouldn't give to have it....

Uhh Sixty8, Packard invented the H-pattern shifter.

Holy $h!! Rest in peace, mighty Rustang!

You're just jealous because you didn't get on Pimp My Tank

That is f@#ked up and high quality at the same time; well done!

You do what you want, but personally I think we've hit a new low if we're taking sage advice from Foghat! There IS much to be said for taking it easy, though.

Zing! Seriously though, just ease up on the kid a tad; you guys seem to go at it way more than you actually need to. Don't take this the wrong way, though; I know he does it just as much as you do.

Croc, the thing you gotta understand with Sixty8 is that he's a dumbass and tends to exaggerate things beyond what they are, and is ALSO excellent at saying really retarded bull$h! that makes him look, shall we say, less than stupendous. Try hanging around with him in person if you don't believe me. Seriously, with stories like this, disregard all but the bare bones of it. What really went down is this: we were coming back from Wendy's in my big red Cadillac, we saw what happened, we said oh $h! and chuckled, and then I took off after the lowlife in the Blazer who thought he could get away. But laughing like hyenas? That's a bit over the top and DOES make us come off as a bit callous, I agree a hundred percent with whoever said it. Still doesn't make it alright for you to be so critical of the guy, though; I say live and let live. From now on, if you read something like this from him, just smile and nod and understand that it's just Sixty8 being Sixty8: sensational and neurotic. You'd be that way too if you lived the way he does, but that's another story for another day. Let's all chill out a bit so this place can be even more enjoyable than it already is.

Word to what she said; you guys need to chill out. And like Sixty8 said, it was only funny until the Blazer goosed it and took off, AFTER he feigned pulling over like a decent human being would have after such an occurrence. Also, it's kinda retarded to tell us we're inconsiderate for having a good chuckle over a Kia losing a taillight when we took off chasing after the f@#kbag that slammed into it to get the poor girl a plate number so she wouldn't be completely $h! outta luck. The way insurance works in ASSachusetts is beyond words; if you ask me I'd say we did our good deed for the night. Lighten up.

Boston's Logan International to Orlando International and back again, once and only once, when I went to Disney World for Christmas in '03. Flying sucks; it's like taking the bus, only much longer.

Being the owner of its faster, sleeker, rarer, and more interesting Buick brother, I'd have to say my pick of the two G-bodies is the Riviera. The Aurora always looked goofy to me; it looks weird without some sort of grille. Also, when it comes to maintenance, it's nice to have something 3800-powered as opposed to having an engine exclusive to only that vehicle.

How can anybody start a thread with 70's midsized Pontiac photos and not include a photo of the 1977 Pontiac Lemans Can-Am? I know it's a Grand Am thread and all, but man, these things are pretty neat! Funny that of the proposed 5000, only anywhere from 1100-1377 got out the door before General Motors killed the run. Why, you ask? Because the mold for the "duck tail" rear spoiler broke and nobody felt like fixing it. I hope whoever made THAT decision got a big promotion! </sarcasm> I've only seen one of these in person, in passing in Southern New Hampshire a few summers ago; I thought it was just some cheesy 70's stripe package like all the other "Decal GT's" of the late 70's; it wasn't until I went home and looked it up that I found out there was something behind all those stickers!

Crap only in comparison to what I was being told to back into, but I really do love my big red sled. There really is nothing like being in command of that much steel. It WILL be going on the open market once my Riviera's back on the road, though; I want a '71-'72 boattail too much to be able to keep it.

Jeez, I'd have to dig deep for these. Nothing really special; 229 V6 with a good amount of options. I'll take a look for you, though.

Car show; that's funny. More like the Neon SRT-4 show if you ask me; Chris's buddy's '62 Cadillac and the T-bucket were more or less the only things even worth looking at. Now tell them the exciting story about how you dared me to "accidentally" back into it with the Crap DeVille, to which I had to graciously decline due to the fact that the car is worth more than my life is. Also tell them about the Ferrari we saw pass in front of the same McDonald's like three minutes later; what gives?! Ballers need McNuggets too I guess.

Listening to older Aerosmith brings back memories of riding around in mom's baby blue on baby blue '79 Monte Carlo AND triple yellow '85 Eldorado when I was but a wee lad. Tom Petty reminds me of the interesting places dad would take me after school in his copper on top and bottom with cream in the middle '87 GMC Sierra Classic. Other than that, most all the bands/songs/albums you guys have a place somewhere in my growing up, except for the weird Slovakian crap Sixty8's referring to.

I would also like to see these videos; all I was able to catch so far were old retards in woody wagon-themed Aloha shirts paying comparable amounts for anything and everything that had a Hemi in it.

Must be designs like this that make Brazil the major player in the world automotive market that we know today. Some say they look like &#036;h&#33;, while others say they look like &#036;h&#33;. And, still others say they look like &#036;h&#33;. Not me, though; I wish I had ten Gurgels.

Whitewalls is the only way to fly with a ride like this; just make sure they're real whitewalls and not those cheesey-ass Vogue tires. I hate those things with a passion.

Ups and downs? I'd say any day that results in you being plus one GTO is all ups and no downs! Congrats on the purchase, now let's see a burnout video!

I know this stems from Sixty8's misuse of the word in the thread about that desecrated '73 Riviera that Flybrian posted up top, but seriously, who gives a f@#k? Wasn't this already addressed in the original thread where we first laid eyes on that poor white and teal green boattail?

Join the club, dude; I post here at ridiculous hours of the night and for what? People will still think I'm retarded at normal hours of the day as well

That ride is dee-luxe! I'm jealous of the whole fleet, especially the Roadmaster since I'm a Buick man. But who cares; slap some whitewalls on the big bad Cad and get cruisin'!

Thanks, but no thanks; I'll take extra B-pillars! C and D-pillars, even! Just kidding. Late 70's Thunderbirds and Cougars represent everything wrong with automotive styling. Here's my choice for a two-door hardtop: Beautiful. What a machine!
