Colorados of any sort are in very short supply around here. As much as I don't like the interior, I have been mulling over getting one next year, ideally, a CPO V8 ext. cab model, so that I can carry both bikes and people at the same time. Alas, searching the local dealer lots, online inventories, craigslist ads, and ebay auctions has been fruitless. I know I can get a Silverado equipped the way I want for the same price or better, but I think I'd prefer the tidier size.

A certain hairy Proto European has already dropped hints that at least one of those is in the works.

Went to a sushi restaurant once. I don't think I ever will again, and here's why: when I asked my friend what these yellow and red pieces in the center of my sushi roll were, he responded, "Just eat it." Cooked fish FTW.

Weird - I click on the link on the C&G Twitter page and all I see are links to porn/spam.

GM's key to survival will be making sure it offers something for everyone, and that's all there is to it. Even in its downsized state GM is in a better position than any other company to provide a balanced portfolio to its customers. GM lost a lot of people who care about cars when they went chasiing the Japanese and stopped offering anything fun or good looking in the volume segments. Chrysler shot itself in the foot when it killed a solid Camcord competitor (arguably the best looking and performing one at the time) and only offered the LX cars as its midsized sedan entries. Variety is key, because if GM doesn't offer customers what they want, they'll go to someone who does. Another point: being green and being pleasing to enthusiasts does not have to be mutually exclusive. There's no rule that says a Camaro can't have a smaller carbon footprint yet keep the formula that has made it so successful over the years. And there's nothing stopping them from making a "green" car like the Volt an engaging, fun to drive car.

Given their displacement, performance output, and curb weight of the cars they're put in, the current crop of V8s get excellent fuel economy. If the past is any indication, the V8 will evolve with the times, so I wouldn't be quick to discard it.

MSRP of a Camaro 1SS is $30,745. The article states that the Z will be a 8K premium over an SS. That brings the base price of a Z to $38,745. If you want to use the 2SS - a comparable Z would be $41,745.

If the pricing arrangement holds true, the Z will start at just under 40K. That's damn good, and a 6K advantage over the GT500

Other than the cars you mentioned (which I probably would have listed anyway), what about an SSR?

Aren't those the same ones used on the GTO? I wonder if it's possible to fabricate a set of custom inserts.

I. Don't. Care. Crap like this is exactly why my TV sits in the corner of my bedroom unplugged and collecting dust.

I'm going to resist Twitter as long as I can. I don't understand the fascination/obsession with it. I have a Facebook page that does a lot more than Twitter and I can update that just as easily as I can update Twitter, so why would I need both?

Those are practically a staple in the southwest. 9/10 cars have them. People are either trying to prevent the dash form cracking, or are hiding an already cracked dash.

You can probably pick up a bottle of brush-on fabric glue at an arts and crafts store for a couple of bucks. I think that would work just fine. My sister uses this stuff called Modge Podge. Or, just spray a ton of the 3M stuff onto a piece of cardboard, and brush that onto the vinyl.

How does thre fill plug come out? Would saturating it in rust penetrant and letting it sit overnight buy you anything...you know, for next time :wink: I'm glad to hear it's running and driving. I'll go out on a limb and say it won't be long before you talk yourself out of the idea of flipping it.

S10s (and Blazers) are largely hit and miss when you're shopping used. If you can find one that's had its PM done regularly and was generally well taken care of in its youth, it'll last forever. If not, it'll nickel and dime you to death, and even so, they're pretty cheap to fix and the parts are almost always on the shelf. The 4.3 should be good for 20-23MPG highway. With all that said, if you can handle the extra heft and an (surprisingly slight) MPG penalty over the S10, a full-size Blazer/pickup is a damn near bulletproof solution.

BAM! Cherokee - http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1384266990.html - sell off the plow and use that to buy the parts to fix it. Ranger - http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1384253545.html F-150 - http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1384068891.html Grand Cherokee - http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1383908131.html S10 - http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1383844575.html

How about an old 4cyl S10 or Ranger, or similar? I'm sure those can be had within your price range. When it comes to utility, you can't beat an open bed pickup. Times like these are a great time to have 68 around. How many cars has he bought for pennies on the pound?

Awesome. I love it all. I'm insanely jealous. I'm curious as to what screen you used for the Nav...did it come from the Omega? Interesting how it lights up 'Pontiac' even though it wasn't designed for the G8.
