    Ok..the second one is maybe a 38 Cadillac...the last one I'm pretty sure is a '64 Valiant (or Barracuda, which was badged as a Valiant in '64).

    Yeah, Santa Fe is nice..I have friends nearby in Los Alamos, I go down there once a while. SLC isn't bad, I esp. like nearby Park City..but likewise, I wouldn't be happy around the Mormons, same with Bible Belt areas....

    Well, it's very green up in the mountains and certainly the coastal areas.. I don't think I could be in the desert Southwest, though I do like Phoenix.

    Yes, but they had really subtle SS badges down on the rocker trim, IIRC.

    No clue on the 1st one, the 2nd one is a 40s Cadillac, the 3rd a mid 60s Valiant, I think..

    I saw a sharp silver '04 Marauder w/ sun roof last night... parked next to a black Charger SRT8.

    Those bridges remind me of one I walked across w/ some friends in 2000 over the Genesee River in Letchworth State Park in western New York. Beautiful place. The thing I can't get over in these pictures is how green it is... I guess I've gotten used to the arid West and forgotten how green it is in the East....

    Ok...is there any difference between the '08 or '07 or '06? I don't think I'd notice that one was an '08...

    Not a horror story, but back in the late '90s I worked for MCI and was a developer of the system that routes incoming phone calls to specific phones in call centers..so when you called, you call was routed using my software..

    Big country, lots of busy people...things like this (condition of infrastructure) are out of sight, out of mind for most people.. it seems like we have to have some big, highly visible w/ lots of media attention incident to occur to pay attention and realize it could happen anywhere.. On a small scale, it's the same way with cars...many (most?) drivers don't maintain their cars, they go along oblivious until a bald tire or no oil causes a problem..

    Surprising that Iowa has so many bridges...lots of rivers? I remember crossing the Mississippi when I drove I80 across Iowa, but that's all I noticed..

    Wasn't resonance frequency why the Tacoma Narrows bridge went down years ago? Speaking of resonance frequency, I read a bit about problems with it as far as airplane parts vibrating together during the development of the 747 (Joe Sutter's book '747' is a great read, finished it the other day).

    Wierd wheels and tires on that Lincoln, but I love the style of the '60s Lincolns... the '60s Lincolns and one of those massive Mopars would make neat weekend cruise toys. (for myself, I need something late model for a daily driver).

    I wonder if current traffic volume had an affect on the bridge's structural integrity due to the weight, etc...I'm sure the volume today is much higher than it was when it was built (or was built to accomodate)... this is a problem I've seen with bridges and freeway overpasses, etc around here..the traffic volume today is much higher than when the roads were originally built.

    Interesting... I never realized Delaware was considered a southern state...always thought of it as an east coast state, like New Jersey..

    That editorial seems right on the money...spending on infrastructure in this country has been ignored for a long time, while money has been wasted on nonsense like Iraq, new stadiums, etc...the article seemed pretty balanced...both political parties are to blame for ignoring infrastructure investments (this is true nation wide).

    Looks like the old GM model is still alive..overlapping models that result in each brand competing with each other...brilliant.

    On CNN now.. http://www.startribune.com/462/story/1338294.html

    The staples went THROUGH the steel roof?? Powerful gun...

    Interesting...the Trueno/AE86 was sold in the US in the early '80s as a Corolla, IIRC? I know there is a whole subculture of fandom around them, largely due to the Initial D anime.. (I saw the Initial D movie, fun flick).

    Hmmm... I'd be down with this, as long as we can split it up into the 'The United States of Canada' (Canada + blue states) and 'Jesusland' (red states) ala some maps I saw after the '04 election..
  22. Robert Hall
    It's certainly nicer than GM's tired FWD rentals...
  23. Robert Hall
    I seem to recall somewhere reading that the '63-65 Riv was on a shorted B-body (it had the wierd X-frame like Chevy and Buick B's, didn't it?)
  24. Robert Hall
    Interesting trivia..
  25. Robert Hall
    I'm sure...when I was in Italy, I drove a Merc A-class diesel one trip, a Vectra diesel another trip...my Grand Cherokee felt huge when I came home...(the Grand Cherokees I saw in Rome looked huge, compared to the tiny Fiats, etc).
