  1. This is one of the nicer new castings in my opinion.
  2. A new casting which makes its first appearance in the Classics line.
  3. The local Meijer store has them.
  4. Here is some of release 3 of Greenlights Muscle Car Garage. I picked up the 442s tonight.
  5. Picked up a new box set with a few GM products in it. Also picked up the '69 442 I have needed to get.
  6. More repaints... Camaro Concept in black Silverado in dark red '66 Nova in flat black/dk red Firebird Racecar in lt blue
  7. Thank you. And FWD or RWD or AWD is each person's preference. I like to say that I have spent time in both FWD & RWD and can appreciate each in their differences.
  8. You made me go to the basement and dig up the 3.5 disc with this pic. This is quite the thread, as most of the cars I have owned have been mentioned here for good or bad. Had an '81 Regal with 3.8L. Nice looking, horrible engine. Then came '85 Celebrity Eurosport. Again, nice car, reliable, kind sporty but still economical with the 2.8L. Worked well as college car. Then '88 Cutlass International probably my second favorite W-car I have owned. Great car despite first MY fears. Everything done right, and loved the little touches. Then '94 Cutlass Supreme (3.4 DOHC), if '88 was good, '94 should be better, right? Not necessarily. Having owned them back to back I could see every cost reduction that was done between '88 and '94 and didnt like many of them. Still a distinctive car on the road and I kind of miss this car for the looks alone. Then there was a Bonneville SSEi, not really part of this discussion, but maybe my favorite car of all. Then '04 GP GTP - yes the SC3800 was beautiful powertrain. The interior left some to be desired. And now of course the '06 GP GXP. Gotta love a V8, and interior improvements help this car over the '04. Throw in a '69 442 to the mix and I have had some fun in my GM cars. Now, that said, I too couldnt stomach the FWD move when it happened. But you know, in snow its great. And you can have some fun in FWD if you spend enough time getting to know how the car handles. Since I have been driving a W-car since 1991, with the excpetion of the SSEi years, I have gotten to know them pretty well, and I think I can hustle these cars around pretty good at this point. Especially now with FE4 on the GXP. You just learn to adjust to the way the car reacts.
  9. I don't know. I kind of liked the hidden handles in the Cutlass coupe. Made the door clean without handle. And the seatbelts were a poor answer to automatic seatbelts. Agreed there that was a bad idea from the get go. As far as the interiors, I loved my '88 Cutlass International. It was a durable cloth, not the weird velour of so many cars. And it has style, as the cloth had striping in the material. And the air bag seat adjustments were just right. All in all I really liked that ineterior, even the 2+2 seating with rear center console.
  10. Yeah, I picked up the blue TA but havent seen the maroon GN. The Ram & Challenger have also both been released in a dark red. The Charger is out in a rust orange. The Ferrari 250 is out in (what else?) bright red. The Ferrari 599 is out in black and the Cayman in silver.
  11. Yep. See post.... http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...?showtopic=8538
  12. Welcome to the GXP club. Ive had mine a year as of this weekend. Still love it.
  13. Would anybody want Toyota to be the lead negotiating company in the contract talks?
  14. Here is a recent release of the new Silverado by Hot Wheels.
  15. Knightfan, close your eyes, it isnt pretty.
  16. You are correct, sir!!
  17. I took a little nap where the roots all twist Squished a rotten peach in my fist And dreamed about you woman I poked my finger down inside makin a little room for a ant to hide Natures candy in my hand or can or a pie
  18. Actually its two Intrigues in the sig, and technically its not new, just resurrected. But, thanks for the comments. I liked this one and felt it needed to come back.
  19. Coriolis Acceleration.
  20. First I am shocked that this was figured out so quickly. Second, dammit, now I have to go out and pick that up on CD, since I never upgraded.
  21. Yes. I just found the GN last week. They are just starting to show up but dont look to be too scarce from what I see.
  22. I dont know. I've used the little touch-up cans without issue. Just primed the car with a model primer first. I did a Trams Am model in Bright Aqua Metallic.
  23. Sorry, Roger. If I would have seen this sooner, I would have replied sooner. The K mart cars were the yellow Dodge Ram, gray Datsun 280 and the white GMC Motorhome. Other than those, the K I went to didnt get very good cases. Lots of stuff already on the pegs.
  24. So, here is some new stuff. First off a new paint scheme on the Hot Wheels '67 Camaro And next a couple quirky 70's models, Motor Max '76 Vega & '78 Chevette. These are also available in the colors in the card in the packaging
