  1. The 6 wheels is another means to achieving higher hauling/towing capacity, without the width issues a dually setup would introduce.
  2. Remember 30 years ago the 2nd gen Jimny was sold in the US as the Samurai....had one as a rental once, drove around Martha's Vinyard in one w/ the top off, was fun.
  3. I really don't see anything 'brickish' about this, lots of contours...greenhouse reminds me of the current Explorer w/ extra trim, and there are lots of contours on the lower body...
  4. Interesting...the grille and wheels and concept-car blingy, I'd dub it the 'Grandmaster Flash'..
  5. Wowza. A right hand drive one. I wonder how you could legally get one in the US. I know people have brought in bodies to convert SSes and G8s to Utes and wagons. Saw a G8 wagon in Arizona a few years ago...
  6. One of the guys here that used to be a regular poster here (borger/PCS--Pontiac Custom S) has one like that, same color. It's easy to buy the Holden badging off the internet and rebadge a Chevy SS---I saw one in Scottsdale like that a couple years ago.
  7. The 455 was only available in the GS as far as midsize Buicks in '71-72 I believe...
  8. That looks like a restyled Compass...looks like the Compass greenhouse.
  9. Given all the production issues with the Model 3 they have had, I really question if Tesla will be able to deliver anything new going forward, let alone a Class 8 truck.
  10. The Freightliner trucks look like lightly disguised current production trucks...whilst the Tesla looks very much like the fantasy concept vehicle it is....
  11. Because Daimler is an established heavy truck manufacturer..they are more likely to be able to successfully build something like this than dreamers like Tesla..
  12. Hmm...'oak pollen clumps'..so that's what's been all over the driveway and front yard the last few weeks..have a huge oak by my driveway..kind of brown wormy looking stuff... and I've seen pollen blowing around while driving in the neighborhood...
  13. Yeah, scary what has been going on in Hawaii. Beautiful place. Fall/winter in Arizona was sinus infection season. All the dust in the air was a constant irritant.
  14. My sinuses have been bothering me lately...lots of pollen in the air. But I wouldn't trade access to abundant greenery, lakes and rivers for anything...
  15. The chart says 'mid size premium sedans', yet the cars listed are C-segment compact premium sedans....
  16. I did uncover one piece of trivia--Ransom E. Olds lived in Parma, Ohio (where I saw the '58 Olds) as a child...
  17. Today made one year I've been living in Ohio. I don't miss Arizona. Happy here.
  18. It was on a street I go down often, it may have been lurking in the garage and came out for summer. In the year I've been here full time, this was the first time I've seen it.
  19. Saw a very clean gold 58 Olds 2dr ht parked in a driveway. Huge and chromey.
  20. Bigger grilles and bigger lower fascia vents.
  21. Saw a very clean 1st gen Olds Aurora in a dark teal at the grocery, and saw a strange '80s BMW 6-series coupe at an intersection..was painted gray and dark blue w/ a variety of racing sponsor stickers and stripes. The inner headlights were yellow.
  22. The ones I saw in Co and Az always seemed to be gray if I could see the interior. Lots of dark window tint in the desert.
  23. Was the '94-96 Impala SS only available w/ a gray interior? That seems to be the only color I've seen them in (gray is my least favorite car interior color).
  24. Real carbon fiber trim needs to go away also...carbon fiber may be necessary to be exposed on a race car, but on a street car interior it just looks disgusting, IMO....fake or real.
  25. Right...I think of platform as the firewall, floorpan and 'subframe'-like structures that is part of a unibody where the front and rear suspension mounts, where the engine and transmission or transaxle mount..the hard points. The floorpan can be lengthened, some parts can be widened.
