eh, 10 years after the last Impala SS and the Chevy still pwned it. in fact, even a same year Accord V6 is faster.

93-95 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. It is the only convertible since probably the 85 Eldorado choptops that actually had a usable rear seat AND a usable trunk. With the top up, there was no intrusion into trunk space from the convertible mechanism... you had exactly the same amount of room as a hardtop Cutlass coupe would. In the back seat there was *gasp* legroom! The 3.4 DOHC V6 would run with the Mustang V8 of the day and would easily chirp 2nd gear when it wasn't eating alternators. Yes the timing belt was an issue, but as long as you were good about changing it every 60,000 miles you'd be fine. There hasn't since been a single convertible this side of the Arnage that has the room AND performance that the Cutty did.

Ford Mustang SVO Mercury Capri.... the last Australian built ones the '82 - '87 Lincoln Continental - What made them unique was the available 2.4 litre BMW I6. The extremely rare 5-speed, AWD, diesel Tempo that Ford apparently produced... the parents of one of my friends growing up had one.

I tend to like the earlier ones rather than the later ones.... oh... wait... not what you meant....

Saab 9-3 Aero 2.8l V6 manual = 3,175 Saab 9-5 Aero 2.0t I4 manual = 3,470 just sayin.... edit: 400lbs lighter than my CTS with the same engine performance numbers... the 9-3 must go like snot!

I was going to take some pics last night as I was going to go rip the last inner fender off. But a series of unfortunate events chewed up my whole evening. I may go tonight instead.

While I usually disagree with what you are saying, your motivation is not malicious, and as such I'll defend to the end your right to to say your piece.

Borderline on the twink status, but hottie none the less.

oh you cwushed his wittle heart

On the contrary, I think he realizes exactly the kind of effect he has on people here. Someone bringing bad news is fine. Someone bringing bad news while tap dancing at the front of a ticker taped marching band procession because he knows it will irritate the receivers of said bad news. completely different.

In 3/4 time.. [GUITEAU] What a wonder is a gun! What a versatile invention! First of all, when you've a gun- *click* Everybody pays attention. When you think what must be done, Think of all that it can do: Remove a scoundrel, Unite a party, Preserve the Union, Promote the sales of my book, Insure my future, My niche in history, And then the world will see That I am not a man to overlook! Ha-ha! [GUITEAU,BOOTH,CZOLGOSZ] And all you have to do Is squeeze your little finger. Ease your little finger back- You can change the world. Whatever else is true, You trust your little finger. Just a single little finger Can change the world.

It is far to easy to acquire a gun. If I should have to take weeks of classes, pass a written test, and pass a competency test in order to drive a car, I should have to do the same with a gun. Like cars, guns should have to be inspected yearly for proper maintenance. Historic guns not able to pass inspection should be disabled from firing. There should also be a yearly registration fee and gun owners should be required to carry additional liability insurance of a specified minimum amount. One should have to present a gun license to buy one... none of these under the table cash deals at the gun shows. Caught with a gun but without the above requirements. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Now... if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to welding my centrifuge.

Rather than buying a car, my friend Dominic is going to rent me his 1996 Roadmaster Estate that he bought at the Goodwill Auto Auction. It has about 60k miles on it and drives great. However, the previous owner ran it into a pole and the inner front fenders are completely rotted away. We have almost the entire front end ripped off with just the right side inner fender yet to come off. We have the front end from a Roadmaster sedan that will replace the wagon's front end. My car payments as of January 1: $900 My car payments as of February 1: $456 My car payments as of March 1: $50

Well that didn't take long.... :lol: and in under 5 minutes.

I think they like curling airbag covers and broken power mirror switches even less though.... OOOOooooo but it's "soft touch" materials...

I've said it before.... if the plans unfold like we've been told. My last new GM will be a CTS Coupe in Germany.

Then when you post things that you know will upset users, don't do it with a big grin and tap dancing the big finale.

yet still cheaper than having to pay a CAFE fine for all those G8s people are snapping up.

The problem with VW/Audi interior materials <mostly VW> is that they don't hold up over time. Sure they look great on the showroom floor, but after about 4 years when that airbag cover is curling away from the dash and the scratches in the material from a finger nail and the cupholder that no longer works and the power mirrow switches that have fallen off..... they don't look quite as nice. Conversely, the G6's interior may look like tupperware... but after 4 years and some armor all, it'll still looks like new tupperware.

Speaking of stunningly wrong.....

The main reason I vote against banning him for now is that he does provide articles, news, and insight. However, he does post, in some cases, specifically to antagonize other members of this board. Buickman was banned for trolling with his stunningly wrong predictions and commentary.
