I could see myself doing that..I don't really like dealing with car salesmen, they waste so much time. I have no interest in haggling, prefer fixed prices for products.
-
That is interesting...wasn't aware of that.
-
I've wondered about that before...Amazon is involved in so many different businesses.. I was thinking about it--- I'm an Amazon Prime customer and purchase a lot of products from their site, I have Amazon Prime audio and video streaming and listen to/watch/read a lot of content from them, and I use many of their AWS tools and services at work. 3 very distinct use cases.
-
Yeah, the one on the left is an '80s Hilux, which is a bit smaller than the original '90s Tacoma..but still quite a size difference.
-
Well, the first pic is a 2nd gen Sonoma on the left, those were truly compact.
-
I can see the Pontiac G8, Chevy SS and V-series Cadillacs being sought after, esp. the manuals..in an age of forgettable FWD transverse engine mediocrity, these were standouts for GM.

Yeah, Black & Decker..they work pretty well. I have a 100 ft cord, and that's enough to reach back of my backyard. Just have to not get tangled up in the cord, esp. the string trimmer.. -

Robert Hall replied to balthazar's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
My snow blower, leaf blower, leaf blower/mulcher, string trimmer, hand saw and chain saw are all corded...my drill is cordless w/ a charging dock. I can definitely see how cordless would be better for some of those... -
For current SUVs, I can see the Grand Cherokee SRT and Trackhawk, Durango SRT 392 and Durango SRT Hellcat being collectible...
-
I guess that movie wouldn’t have been the same if they had been driving a current LeBaron convertible.

^ kinda looks like Brandywine Falls, was last there July 2019, took these pics then. Was out there yesterday, parking lot was full.
-
The later RVs my family had looked like these--a '78 Southwind, 28 ft w/ a 440 V8, had it for about 4 years then replaced by an '85 Winnebago Chieftain 33 ft w/ a 454. They kept that one 10 years until they retired from RVing.
-
I kinda like it also...I like 240Zs more like these, though... Neat...I did a lot of camping at Ohio and Pa lakes, state parks, etc as a kid in my folks' '73 Dodge Sportsman Mobile Traveler 21 ft Class C RV...even took cross country summer trips to Arizona in it. .They had it from about 1975 to 1981, then got a 28 ft Southwind Class A RV. The Mobile Traveler looked like this one below.

Length and wheelbase look similar, the new one looks taller--mostly wheel/tire size, I'd assume..though the nose looks taller. -

Sharp..like the color...looks like you got it plated already also...already been to the DMV? -
Pollen seems to have been worse this Spring than in recent years...oak tree pollen all over everything....beautiful, unusually warm sunny weather. But the pollen is killing me.

Took a break and a walk around the block and saw an unbadged RHD M-B Metris postal van. Didn’t realize the USPS was using them.

Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
I wonder how much the battery pack in Hummer weighs... -
Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
True, but the 2500HD is a true work truck for hauling stuff. The Hummer EV is just a pricy toy. And imagine the poor schlub in the Chevy Spark they run into... wouldn't stand a chance. -
Pedantic much? I wouldn't consider any of those sedans as they have frameless door glass. Now an '80s Mustang LX notchback, that was a 2dr sedan as it did have upper door frames and a fixed b-pillar.
-
Don't think I'd classify the Grand National or GNX as a 'performance sedan'...more of a performance coupe or muscle car. Remember, the Regal it was based on was a personal luxury coupe. Anyway, it was one of the fastest cars of the 80s and a unique last hurrah for RWD Buick performance cars..

Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
That's insane...3000lbs of battery? -
In another time and place, I coulda been a Buick man. Some beautiful beastly 70s Big Buicks.. ..and some sweet '80s Buicks.
-
Yes, long run. Similarly for Buick and their Road Wheels, around well into the 80s. And Olds with the SS II (?).
-
Googling turns up pics of ‘80 & 81 GPs with those wheels, not sure if they were available on other Pontiac’s then. The Rally IIs made a comeback in the early 80s, seen many ‘81-87 vintage GPs with them.
