A Horse With No Name

That Aqua and white B-59 is awesome!

Thanks for the pics guys. That's a nice vintage shot of a Pontiac Dealership in Sixty-Eights p[ost also. Would love to have bought a production version of the 54 wildcat. There is just something about 50's cars. Chris

Although the best looking car in the segment is by far the Buick Crossover... The Ford Freestyle seems to be a pretty decent design as well. But enzl is right, people will flock to the new Pilot like flys to feces. One of the guys at work (one of the die hard buy domestic ones, too) just traded his Trailblazer for a current gen Pilot. Listening to Josh, you'd believe his Honda was Jesus incarnate returning to earth in four wheeled form. Chris

Oh, and someone yesterday told me about a 68 fairlane GT with a 396 and factory tri-power and a powerglide that he once owned. Nice that we live on a planet that allows cars from the twilight zone. Chris

At the library I go to there is a 96 Mustang GT with flames painted with brush and roller. I kid you not. Chris

The youth culture was brought up, that is a HUGE part of the problem also. When kids play Grand Theft Auto and kill people at random on the video games and live in a culture of violence... Chris

I would agree. LiLO might pull it together but GW is God's own original Dumbass. Chris

Would be nice if MFG. had more control of dealers. Most of my local GM dealers are not people I'd buy a car from. You have my sympathy. Chris

Sweet car, I love it! Chris

It's a case of hemmeroids I wouldn't mind having. Or, given that it's a MOPAR, shouldn't it be Hemi-roids? Chris

Just read an article in Automobile Quarterly about buick buying a model "C" which was the 4th oldest known buick in the world at the time. The article stated that the sloan foundation had made a model "B" out of a model C but that the model B was extinct as far as anyone knew at the time. I think the article came out about 1994 or so. Does anyone here know if anyone ever found a model B buick from 1904? Also, does anyone here have any good mlinks to info on Buicks of the brass era? Chris

My friend Joyhn replaced his 35 year old American made fridge with a chinese made fridge...which lasted two years.... Chinese made stuff is the sh!t...literally. chris

Ditto on the manual in an S thing. I can sympathize with what Carbiz says about 98% of the population wanting automatics, but I wouldn't even want a CTS in an automatic. Chris

I could think of several creative uses for the Nuke though.... Chris

The counter arguement could be made also. There are a jillion people bearing arms in Packistan and Afghanistan, crime is obscenely common, and more guns won't change things. But I believe in the right to bear arms and like sixty eight said, from my cold dead hands. Chris

Let's see, I'm strait and a huge fan of Both Miata's and Mini's, and I don't know of any gay people that drive either. I like poetry also, though so my opinion may not count. Around here in the Lamda car club it seems to be big old domestics with lots of Chrome from the 50's or 60's. Newer cars seem to be all domestic, usually PT Cruiser or HHR for lesbians and large Buick/Cadillac type vehicles for males. For whatever reason the gay population of Columbus Ohio seems to be really, really domestic loyal. Actually, now that JPgolden got rid of the civic SI and got a truck, I don't know of any gay males that drive imports. Oh, yeah, wait, golden's partner drives a subie. Chris

I had a good friend who was a railroad engeneer who hit a woman in a volkswagen with a frieght train and killed her at a crossing. Not his fault but twenty years later he still had nightmares. I still have a problem with car fires because I saw a Formula Ford burn During an SCCA race, although the driver did make it out... Chris

Personally I hate leases, but I think this is a brilliant idea. With the economy in the crapper, lot of people will be looking for cheap wheels. Someone at Gm needs to look into this. Chris

Personally even if it did work out from a fuel economy standard, it would be a pr disaster. Better to upgrade/update the AVEO and use it there. Chris

Actually, I'd like to see them swaping some damned paint in an SCCA style race.... Chris

Saw another SRT-8 Magnum on the way to work today, this time in metallic red. They are nice cars. Chris

They are winning the Rhetoric race quite well, thank you! Oh, wait, you wanted something that actually involved automobiles. Guess your S.O.L. Chris

Actually I have much more respect for Honda, Mercedes, BMW, et. al when it comes to foreign carmakers in racing. ...as well as Mazda, who manages to put thousands of race cars on track (formula Mazda, Spec Miata, MX-5 Cup, RX-7,and others) each weekend. Go to an SCCA race some time. The no show of Toyota products will delight and amaze you...oh wait, maybe that's NASCAR also... Chris

Actually I think the Charger is a Hot, Hot automobile-there are six vehicles at lest that Chrysler has gotten dead right-Challenger, Charger, 300, Wrangler, Ram, and Viper.

Depenmds on the Japanese car. Like someone said the high end stuff is in the tank but the Mazda 3, the Civic, The Fit, et al seem to be selling briskly. Chris
