Intrepidation

I like the Vega too, the coupes anyway, before they uglified them. Then again, perhaps why I like these cars that other peopel consider $h! so much is because when I was little we had a olive green Dodge. I didn't know what it was called, my dad just always called it the "green bomber". I loved it though and was sad when we got rid of it (this was when I was like 5 or 6). Turns out it was a Dodge Aspen. I want one though...maybe like this:

Maybe it would be best to take the track guide that separates the windows out. I'm not sure. I do like the top, I don't want to ruin it. The stupid design just frustrates me...well that and I broke the glass in the first place.

We were tallking about the mismatched headlights yesterday. While I do like the Jetta ones, I think it would be harder to convert it to a Jetta front end, since it would need a hood and fenders as opposed to headlights and grill to put it back to Golf spec. Oh and the trim piece below the headlightss/grill.

K.C.! Where you been? Good to see you.

Looks like a fun little project car. And since you have lots of spare parts you can work on it on the cheap as well!

Seriously though, why do people hate the Pintos? Were they just really $h!ty cars or what?

Call me crazy but I think it's kind of cool.

The attached file is shpws the adhesive that was used (in the circled area). It rubbery and black.

There's physically not enough pace inside the door to rotate the glass. I've taken a window out at the junkyard before. They slide out of the top. The problem is that the landau trim that's on this one goes over the window frame, preventing the glass from being pulled out. That is my problem.

Coupe, wagon, and an SS version of all three would be sweet. This.

I was replacing the driver's side rear window regulator on the Mercury, was just about done, tightening the last bolt (one that holds the glass in place) did it too tight and the whole damn thing shattered everywhere. So obviously I'm pissed at myself for tightening it too tight (and too a lesser extend pissed at Ford for designing crap regulators that break all the damn time, then riveting the stupid things in place). Problem is that the car has one of those landau tops, and the part that goes on the door goes over the stupid window frame. There's no way to get the glass out or in with it there. My question is, what adhesive do they use the secure the tops? It looks kind of like rubber glue. I see no other way than to cut the adhesive off so I can pull the thing back enough to fit a window in. I'll need to reattach with new adhesive afterward. I'm so frustrated...it was the LAST bolt and I was done. Now instead of the window being down a couple of inches there is a big gaping hole where the window should be.

HARWICH, Mass. -- Teens at a local high school staged a sit-in that ended with two arrests. "Respect. That's all we're trying to get out of it," said Ana Nocchi, a senior at Cape Cod Technical High School. Some believe the new dean at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School is too strict. Students staged the sit in after they were served only cheese sandwiches at lunch because they failed to clean up the day before. "They closed the doors and we couldn't leave the lunch room and she was standing up on stage calling us pigs and immature little kids and nasty," Nocchi said. A Facebook group organized the sit-in. Approximately 200 students gathered in school's main hallway with the principal's permission, but when it came time to go back to class, some students refused and started yelling and swearing. Ten Harwich police officers were called in to restore order. "There were major concerns on our part, of there were 200 to 300 kids there, all assembled in the main hall of the school. We were very concerned of it could've turn real bad, real quick," said Sgt. Kevin Considine, of the Harwich Police Department. When one girl told officers that she would have to be arrested, police obliged. She was charged with disturbing school assembly and disturbing the peace. An 18-year-old who punched a window was also arrested and charged with vandalism and disorderly conduct. "No pushing and shoving, just vulgarity and rally a refusal to cooperate with teachers and administrators," said Principal William Terranova, Cape Cod Tech. Terranova, the former dean, said he stands by the new dean indicating disciplinarily measures have not changed in the school. The principal said that students often try to take advantage as a new dean takes over. Security will be increased after the weekend. (Copyright © 2009 Sunbeam Television Corp. All Rights Reserved.

I would hope a game a few years newer would be better than an older game.

Dunno if IP Board supports it, but if there a no new posts it on LHF it will tell you that there are not, and you have the option to then view posts from the last 24 hours.

It's up at the top next to "Calendar" :Edit: I see its not working currently. We'll get that fixed ASAP.

Last I heard his computer crapped out and he hasn't bothered to get it fixed, since he's so busy anyway.

Did Clarkson actually buy one? I know he loved it when he drove it in season 12 but I didn't know he actually bought one.

Right, I'm a Sony fanboy and the last console I played was my Dreamcast. Just go watch videos of both games in action on say, ign.com and compare for yourself the graphics. Or I'll save you the effort and show you some stills. Forza 3 GT5 Forza 3 GT5 It has more racing modes, hell it even has NASCAR for people who like to go in circles. GT has always been about the most realistic driving experience possible.

I always liked that generation Bonneville, especially after they dropped the pleasure ribbing, and the GXP with its sexy and not tacky wheels.

A guy in a Pontiac?

ocn, how do you manage that? I want to know!
