I'm looking forward to it also...I loved Speed Racer as a kid. I think 'Superhero Movie' is from the same folks that did 'Epic Movie' and 'Date Movie', those were funny in a very stupid sort of way...

Ah yeah, I've seen the Fronteras when I've been across the pond...the Isuzu Rodeo and Amigo were the US market versions..

Cool... I'm doing something similar to that between Denver and Phoenix. I'm keeping my condo in Denver for now (may rent it out), and am going to be in Phoenix at least 6 months or more. My sister is working in Ohio, finding it difficult time-wise/etc to go back and forth every week...since I finished my most recent contract in Denver March 31, I'm down in Phoenix now house sitting for her...taking care of her house in central Phoenix, 4 dogs (my 1+ her 3), and her Benzes, she will probably come back once a month or so. Phoenix is an interesting place, I've been coming out here several times a year for the last 15 years, but I think it would be a fun place to live a few years...so far, it looks like the job market is still pretty strong here (had 2 in-person and 3 phone interviews this week so far).

Well, there are worse vehicle-themed series from the'70s- '80s that they could have revived..I remember 'Supertrain' and 'Highwayman'. How about something new and different--instead of Knight Rider being a Mustang, how about a Prius that goes 300mph and get 300mpg? Used to fight ecoterrorists and evil CEOs? Or Robocop on a Segway?

When I checked the forums tonight after a few days away, instead of seeing all the posts on one thread in line one after the other when I open the thread, I now see only the first post with a tree below it and the subsequent posts collapsed to show only the author and first line....what's up with that?

I wondered about that...I suspect the collision speed was too low to trigger the bags...

Bedford used the Griffin logo also, pretty neat..

In my Jeep, the cupholders are right behind the two shifty thingys... with a loose-fitting cup of coffee or bottle of water, I know I've spilled content into the shifty thingys over the years several times when I've had to make a hard stop or go over a bump. The tranny and xfer case seem to still work ok, though..

A little duct tape, bondo, a hammer and some spare parts and it should be good as new..

That little chrome mirror looks a lot like the one from a '69 Camaro.

Think of it as a movie car... IIRC, there was a TV show years ago with Michael Landon as an angel and a bearded guy and they drove around in a silver '77-79 LTD II 4dr.

Cool...I'll have to get one of those... most of my diecast collection is in two storage units in Colorado and I still have quite a few at my folk's place in Ohio.

I guess they are trying to scream 'WE ARE GREEN' even if it's an obese truck that barely gets 15 mpg..

I saw a really clean '89-90 or so Caprice in traffic today..white w/ black out windows, wire wheel covers..very clean condition.

I took I-25 down from Denver, then from Soccoro, NM I took US 60 across NM and down to Phoenix.. US 60 is a great road, very little traffic, and the terrain is fascinating (the drive from Show Low AZ to Superior, AZ through Globe is incredible...winding and twisty up and down the Salt River Canyon). The desert is in spring bloom now, very beautiful. I stopped and took a tour of the Very Large Array radio telescope facility off US 60, it was featured in the movie 'Contact'...neat place. (NRAO VLA) I've done the I-25 to Albuquerque and then I-40 to Flagstaff and then down I-17 to Phoenix drive 3 times in the last few years, so I was looking for something different this time.

Denver and Phoenix here, though I'm originally from Ohio (and lived in S. Florida, Michigan, and Illinois in the past).

I took a road trip last week..left Denver Wednesday and drove down to Los Alamos, NM...then on Saturday, drove down to Soccoro, NM and took US 60 over to Show Low, AZ and then down through the Salt River Canyon through Globe and on into Phoenix...beautiful scenery. I saw quite a few interesting oldies, incl. a goregous white '68 Buick Wildcat 2dr, a light green '61 Cadillac 4dr ht, a maroon '68 Camaro SS, a couple '64-66 T-birds, and drove past a salvage yard in Soccoro, NM chock full of '50s-70s vintage cars. I saw a sharp yellow mid '60s Chevy stepside pickup here in Phoenix last night.

They use too much road salt in Ohio and other states in the Midwest and the NE, I'm sure that contributes to the problem. (I lived in the Akron and Cleveland area for 6 years, and saw what it did to cars...my Bronco started rusting when I lived there when it was less than 5 years old)>

Probably more that it's looked the same for 4 model years now..it needs an MCE yesterday..

Didn't the Regal start in '73 as the Monte Carlo equivalent coupe?

A Lexus Prius would be great...efficiency with a nice interior. For a small car like that to be usable as a commuter car, I'd want a full-lux interior (I hate cheap gray plastic interiors most small, cheap cars have).

How about an '80s T1000? It's a RWD Pontiac...saw one recently, first I'd seen in years. Be good on gas also.

Neat...a '67 Pontiac airport limo.. I've read that back in day, airports used stretched wagons and sedans like that instead of the generic buses they use now for shuttles..

Speaking of old cars, in a few days I'm going have a couple oldies but goodies to drive, both heavy and smooth, and one a 2dr hardtop. Both built in the last 25 years, but no cupholders, unfortunately...
