  5. yes, that is part of the planned re-org
  6. I am going to start moving around a bunch of forums and adding some new ones. I will update this space as forum moves are made.
  7. First new SRX spotting. Looks stunning, tho a lot smaller, in person.
  8. I suggest you use the "page link" URL under share, that way people will be able to scroll through your entire album rather than have to click on each individual link.
  9. We have a photo gallery here. You can upload all the pics to your gallery and then hot link that.
  10. You can also post it here in the member marketplace and then direct people to the link for a more detailed description.
  11. Ya RLY! I like the Toronado right up till 1969. 1970 rolls around and BAM a minor update completely uglifies it just in time for the super ugly 1971-1978 versions. Even my favorite generation Toronado, which started in 1979, didn't get pretty again till 1980.
  12. Absolutely, but the article stated that all were locked in the lunch room and served cheese sandwiches while the dean got up on the stage and verbally berated all of them
  13. You're stalking me. That's where I grew up.
  14. Ebay, and be incredibly overly descriptive with lots of pictures.
  15. punishing the entire group because of the actions of a few is neither fair nor a good lesson to teach.
  16. All that for only $1,000 over the 1975 base MSRP!
  17. It's also fairly low on power. A 310 hp Lincoln Navigator? Really?
  18. I'm not even suggesting that the TwinDualCam was the best engine on the market. I'm just saying that it was 10 - 15 years ahead of the imports in performance. I had a TDC in my Cutlass it ran great. I had the timing belt start to go right around it's scheduled replacement time and had it fixed prior to it snapping. The alternator went out twice but the second time was due to a faulty replacement job (the first replacement alternator didn't have the heat venting replaced during the install). I could easily light up the front tires in 1st and chirp them up to 3rd.
  19. GM may have half assed the TwinCam V6, but that engine was years ahead of anything the Japanese and VW were doing. The Twincam was 215hp in 1990, Honda didn't break the 200hp barrier till 2004 and didn't beat the Twincam's 215 torque until 2008. Toyota and VW didn't get around to it till 2004 and 2006 respectively. Even Nissan's much vaunted VQ V6 took 10 years to overcome the Twincam in power. So, yea the alternator and spark plugs are a bit tough to change, but the Twincam had it's benefits also.
  20. Due to the site issues, I'm going to extend the deadline for this to November 31.
  21. It requires a small ad on. I'm holding off on adding anything new to the board until the server issues have been put to bed.
