Why the 80s and 90s appeal to me the most... using pics. :D More to come..

What a lovely day in the village of Ramsaytown it is, today. Snow storm. Electical short. Limited heat. No water. No car. That's what I'm experiencing at my house right now. Starting last night around midnight, we recieved a snow storm. It was enough for Brookville to cancel school today. There's about 6" of new snow over the few inches we already had. My mom's Blazer had trouble making it out the driveway this morning. It's very cold as well. Earlier last night, a wire shorted out somewhere in our house. The entire second story as well as the ceiling lights on the first story and a few other things are now out. It has happened before, but it was always a fuse. All fuses are fine so the only conclusion my dad and I can come to is a shorted out wire somewhere. This has caused a limited source of heat. A wood furnace. It can only heat the first story. The second story is heated by using several electric heaters, which are now useless without electric. It was cold night in bed last night. According to how I felt and what my alarm clock with a built in thermometer read: 55 degrees. We have no water either. Sometime during the night we lost it somehow. We have a well, so I'm not sure how unless something froze or the system's backflushing when it shouldn't be. If it's the latter, that takes almost 12 hours usually. If all of that wasn't bad enough... I still have no car! :P Meh... It's okay, though. I moved my stereo downstairs and am taking cold medicine. :D I'm satisfied.

Oh NOS... I love my snow today I had today. Seriously, I'm at home right now listening to music.

Okay... I came across this pic and it instantly helped me pick... :D

Well... I'm not a fan of the Malibu at all and I am hell's Pontiac fanatic... So... G6 GTP of course. Even though MT had to throw in a few strongly biased lines, they praised the actual car. That gives me some hope in it.

Where are all these people coming from?! ...Haha, thanks once again. I feel loved. :D

Okay... to be more specific about what I meant, I strongly dislike modifying one car to look like another. I hate when people do it to Fieros and in this case as well. I mean... it looks alright but I can't get past my hatred for this sort of thing.

Well... my heart lies with the 80s and 90s. I don't think I could pick between the two..

And I thought I was immature... :lol: Wow... Anyways, I love the NSX. It's a well-rounded performer with superb handling. Regardless of it having "only" a V6 it has an excellent power-to-weight ratio thanks to its light weight. Being mid-engined it also has excellent weight distribution. As siegen has mentioned, they are quality pieces as well. I just don't see why some people bash it... The quintessential sports car is one that is mid-engined with a low power-to-weight ratio, IMO, and the NSX fits perfectly. Perhaps it's jealousy? :P Yes, that must be it. Jealousy of wonderful ME sports cars. :D However, I like this one more than it... :AH-HA_wink: T'is my favorite.

Yup... pretty much. :D :P

Damn, now I can't beat you in a race. :P

Wow... thank God PM sucks at this because that isn't exactly beautiful (although it somewhat resembles one of my past designs, minus the huge overhangs). NO.. but now we know what you have on your mind. :lol: Hahaha... WMJ, have I been a bad influence of you? :lol: :D

Finally got to read it in person... MT is going to visit me in hell for that. *grins devilishly*

Capriceman... I don't know what to say to you. :lol: :P

Um... what? :blink:

Some people... are mean for turning a beautiful 240SX (or 180 or 200 since it looks to be rhd) into an old Datsun. I shake my head in everlasting shame.... :D

I wouldn't expect you to be wowed.. :P Even I am not wowed. I just don't care all that much. I don't sleep on the dash and I don't pet it... So as long as the dash looks good while the steering wheel, controls, and shifter feel good; I'm happy. :D

:P ...Okay. The design isn't the greatest. I realize that and even I don't like it all that much. Everything about it is exaggerated and excessive. The lack of brightwork makes it even moreso. Still... I'm just trying to defend the dash plastics. Yeah, the center stack plastics are terrible, but on what 2004 or earlier GM vehicle honestly didn't? Not many, if any (again, luxury is always excluded for obvious reasons). But the actual plastics on the dash were acceptable and moreso than some vehicles like the 06 Impala. I can't comment on door panels and such since I'm not an interior freak like many here. I felt the dash. The Impala's had similar quality plastics on the very top, but from the faux wood down... it was hard and shiny. On the Grand Prix... it wasn't although the dash has no interepting design until the glove box with is quite low. I'm not sure I felt that far down. Even then, the majority is of the better quality plastic and it has more than the Impala. As for the rest, yeah fit and finish is about as poor as it gets. I never argued against that. As for elaboration of the changes made incase some didn't realize it... The center stack was revised to include the passenger air bag moniter as well as a slightly different Driver Info display design. Chrome was added around the vents and the door handles. All silver trim was replaced with aluminum looking trim. The center console was also revised where that round control thing was removed; I forget what replaced it. The center of the steering wheel, "GP", was replaced with a Pontiac emblem. On the G6, the center stack plastic was changed. It is now the same plastic as the rest of the dash. Also, small chrome touches were added here and there. The radio and climate knobs, basically. See... while I'm not an interior freak, I am a Pontiac freak. I notice even the slightest of differences.

OR... I could raid some junkyards for cheap tires like you. School? Pfft... highly overrated.

I couldn't forgot even if I tried to since it's the same day as my B-day... :P 47 years apart! :D

I guess I'm one of the few who dislike the "speedlines" on the squared-off wheel arches. I much prefer the rounded wheel arches on your 68, Sixty8 (lol, that sounds weird to say). I just feel that those as well as other elements featured on the 69 made it look bloated and not nearly as tight looking. I'd be happy if they wouldn't make it to production. I absolutely love what I've of this concept so far (well, except for the interior) and that's rare for me to like something this much being that it's over half retro. I mean... you don't want me to like it less like most retro vehicles, do you? :lol: :D :P

Sixty8... You just wait. I'm going to get you back for shoving all those showoff photos in my face. Once I get that 240SX... I'll show you like no one has ever shown you before! Muahahaha... Muahahahahahah... MuAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha... I rule.

Thanks... It wasn't a bad day, but like the last few years it was like any other day. Since my cousin's birthday is on the same day (one year apart), she has always been the one to have the parties and big ones at that... She's popular, unlike me (but atleast I'm well-known! :P ). So I always attended her parties and my family kind of, but not really, made it somewhat mine. I don't think I've ever had my own party... I'm not even sure if I'm going to go to it, this year. I've never had any reason to so I end up getting bored, as always, and stand around. If Bekah goes... I will. Otherwise... Meh... Anyways, we ordered some pizza from a local place and got to spend my birthday in room! Thinking and eating! Yay! :D BTW, talked to a conselor today. Basically it was about grades and that depression I had. I let him read what I had posted on this site... It was easier and I really don't care if he finds out about certain things. It let him get a better view of my thought process as well. He thanked me for that. He then focused on talking about my shyness. It went well... I guess. NOS... ew. :blink: Get back in that cake... seriously... :lol: Oh... that's a wonderful idea. :P I'm already immature as it is...

Yeeeaaah... Well... you should have specified that. But don't worry... I'll go back and add on to each thing for you...

I have mixed feelings as to what to say... Switching the G6 to RWD is taking a huge risk with sales. You all know it. It also risks keeping the price acceptable. Another risk is for it to not increase its size. I'm not saying it isn't possible, just that it's risky. Taking that risk would make enthusiasts very happy, regardless. I would even be happy. That and I don't think the GTO should just be a slightly more upscale G6. It would be a throwback to how the original GTO was and the Nissan Skyline/GTR up until recently, however. I don't know... If the G6's price can stay close to where it is now, it can still sell at the same level, it stays around the same size, and the GTO has enough differntiation... Yes, go for it unless a platform doesn't exist yet. Still, part of me knows FWD doesn't have much of a disadvantage to RWD and FWD almost always sells better and for less. Part of me wants it to be a FWD Grand Am. Part of me wants the Firebird to return instead of the GTO. The majority of me just wants anything that'll give Pontiac success... BTW, part of me wants a compact RWD Pontiac instead of any of that... :D :P
