  1. Rented a 1998 in 1998. With 3,000 miles on the clock it stalled out in a Florida toll booth and wouldn't start again for a few minutes.
  2. While not completely what you want, "Setting the Pace", the story behind Oldsmobile, talks about many of those individual parts of development, but spreads it over multiple vehicles.
  3. Not knowing exactly what you're talking about.
  4. It's not bad as a get around town car... but the 3.1 was a slug in the regular coupe, I can't imagine what'd it'd be like in the heavier convertible. The convertibles with the DOHC V6 would please all except the most diehard of RWD fans on this forum.
  5. Choosing a Panther over a B-body because the age of the frame is like choosing Richard Simmons over Liberace because he's manlier.
  6. Really? He seemed fairly impressed with that new fangled Stanley Steamer.
  7. Obama's fly new ride.
  8. Any hybrid vehicle "study" that frames ROI in terms of time rather than distance @ cost per gallon is bunk. The best comparison is cost per mile @ N price per gallon
  9. I'm not sure whether to ban you for sheer cheesiness or not.....
  10. ZOMG!!! NO complaints about not having 33.7 surround sound?! No complaints about how it won't out handle the M5 wagon? <because we both know that all wagon drivers commute on the Nurgbergring> Not a peep about the lack of 75 way power seats with power reach around?! As for the D-pillar, they really just took the C-pillar and shoved it back.
  11. Perfect! If you hate it, then it will likely do well against the ES350... which is it's target market.
  12. I think our host hasn't fully recovered from the lightning strike earlier this week. I've seen them reboot the entire server at least twice now. We've started getting weird error messages in the server logs. I know one of the reboots was to fix an Apache <webservice> error and the error messages in the logs started after that. I'm keeping an eye on it, but I don't think it's anything to do with our database or website.
  13. Go back and look at an '04 CTS. It's just a softening of that. If you're talking about the flat surface just around the wheel wells, BMW cribbed that from the '66 Toronado
  14. Oh yeah, and it'd be the first car of mine to ever do 30mpg or better on the highway..... granted highway is 45mph.... but still!
  15. Camino, I may need your help with this one. It's out your way anyway.
  16. Where are you seeing 3-series again? I also think you should wait for better pictures before barfing. This is what, the 2nd or 3rd time you've barfed in a post today? Any more of that and I'm sending you to the hospital for bulimia.
  17. I haven't left yet.... but I was only planning on going for 2 -3 years anyway
  18. I've never been a big fan of the Camaro, but damn that's hot!
  19. Man... I wish all those Subaru, Volkswagen, Volvo, and Saab owners would finally clear their broken down cars off the side of the highways...... These are cars that run with turbos every single day. They individually may have issues, but has anyone heard of even anecdotal evidence of wide spread turbo issues on these cars? We're not talking '83 Lebaron or Mustang SVOs here.
  20. SCHWING!!!! I can't wait to tour around Europe in one of those!
  21. My grandfather's Model A, disassembled Camino style. I'm not sure of the year, and I only vaguely remember it. I know it basically looks like this one, but with a red body.
  22. The Aurora was originally slated to be a Cadillac. But his argument will somehow involve DOHC.
  23. Drew Dowdell

    Whoa...

    Maybe Bluehost is using distributed computing and was storing part of C&G on Blu's computer..... that would explain a great many things.
  24. no problems with the car I figure if I need to buy something, I want to buy an economical engine.... 4-cylinder is the way to go. It'll never go over 50 anyway.
