  1. Yup, we all end up paying more... :angry:
  2. Eh, not perfect but it'll grow on me... I'm liking the styling but I hate the fact that the I6 is dead adn the V6 will take over. :angry:
  3. 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. 307 olds V8. (sold as of 4 hours ago, more on that later) Best: 18.3 mpg Worst: 11.4 mpg 1997 Caddy STS Best: 22 (calculated and according to the computer) Worst: 4 mpg at 128mph according to computer 1984 Datsun Maxima 2.4L, MP fuel injected I6, 5-speed (don't have tthe exact numbers in front of me) Best: 24+ mpg Worst: 17 mpg 1968 Chevy Camaro (350 crate motor... 10.5:1 compression, TH350 trans) Best: 15+ mpg (again, don't have tthe exact numbers in front of me) Worst: 7.9 mpg* * burnouts, several runs at the dragway & drifting around light poles at the local Supermarket parking lot at 3am wiht the 350 howling at 7000rpm. My 1983 Firebird got close to 18 mpg consistantly even in the dead of winter and all kinds of abuse. The Blazer had no problem surpasing the 20mpg mark. (4.3, 5-speed)
  4. Statement of the phucking year right there! :)
  5. eh, what can you do. I'll let you know abot a possible day rip to the border of New Hampshire & Vermot tomorrow. BTW: my Monte calendar you snet me is hanging up on the wall right by the computer. Thanks Again! :)
  6. Burnouts are awsome.... those were decent. Not the best I've seen but still exciting, and WMJ is right of course, RWD kicks ass.
  7. Get well soon Josh.... I'm okay except for some serious sleep depravation.
  8. These wheel skirts look like BUTT (cavalier) I actually like the ones on the Insight.
  9. The most blatant example of Toyota bulshit is the claim that 98% of Camrys made since 1988 are still on the road. Every junkyard around here has like 40 of them... more than any other single car model, including J-cars & Ford Tauruses. I walked throuigh the Camry section today and saw about 3 '97-'01 Camrys, half a dozen '93-'96 Camrys and like thirty '92 and older Camrys. Their math is bullshit.
  10. Okay, I finally found one of the oter funky designeer cars I was talking about. The Grand Prix was done up in plaid by some designer called Cynthia Rowley. Not exactly my cup of tea. :blink: I do like the redline tires however... this lady needs to stay off the LSD.
  11. like so many other words this definition will change as time goes on. Will a 1984 Corvette wiht Cross-fire injection be a classic in 2024? Probably. Not a highly sought after one but it will be old enough to be a rare car.
  12. You need to find your "happy place". Seriously, constant depression is not healthy even for a teenager.
  13. yup... austaralian/asian/middle east market Caprice.
  14. Busy road, narrow shoulder... you come around a sharp corner and WHAM!, rear end a parked car you weren't expecting. These signs make sense in certain places.
  15. Beware: viewer discresion advised: :( http://www.grandprix.net/multimedia/gtp1.jpg That's a great profile.... where the last gen. Taurus failed the G/P & Intrigue excelled. Sleek but sporty elegance. http://krizk10.tripod.com/sitebuilderconte...ures/avatar.jpg
  16. Headlight covers: retarded... but thta chick sure could come in handy breaking in that back seat in this 4dr. :)
  17. Keep forgeting to post this. I saw this Elise at a carshow in Westford Mass. (Kimbal Farms Thursday's Cruise Night) First one I've seen in the USA. I love this car... Someday I'll buy one wiht a blown engine and throw in a Ecotech or if it's possible a 215.
  18. I know, but since it's a GM forum I could resist. It was a perfect setup. :)
  19. Here's another sexy classic Honda.
  20. C'mon Fly, wouldn't you rather have one of these instead of your Aurora? :P maybe instead of a '68 Camaro I'll restore one of these: :ph34r:
  21. For what it's worth I've never called something "Rice" just because it's made in Japan, but yet I'm narrow minded and and idiot according to some (not you LA) because I've refined my Automotive tastes over the past 10 years of my "adult" life to exclude most FWD cars. There's a lot of B.S. on this forum. But calling New Yorkers as a whole "Ants" is not racist or ignorant. As far as conservative being a bad word, wel if it was up to the "liberals" we'd be at peace right now... probably no war in Iraq but there woudl have probably been another succesfuil attack on our soil, instead of in the UK or Spain. And instead of killing Terrorists in the Middle East we'd be condoning drilling holes in baby's heads and other disgusting partial birth abortion practices.... And BTW: In do not agree wiht the war in Iraq, just making illustrating a point.
  22. Chevy Caprice Classics, Buick LeSabres & Pontiac Grand Ams. On second thought better make that Impala, Lacrosse & G6. <_<
  23. '67 Vette
  24. This Corvette is pretty affordable for Bill Gates. BTW, BV: total production of 1st gen. Camaros: (1966-1970) less than 750,000. That's about 2,250,000 less than you're estiamte assuming EVERY single one survived. just a little FYI. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif
  25. In europe and on several musce cars Reverse is to the left of 1st. Makes more sense actaully. The first time you try to make a 3-point turn in a hurry you'd agree. Plus: les chace of screwgin up a 3rd-to-4th powershift. Sean's 69 Camaro had a super-T10 4-speed in it and reverse was in this location. I loved that about the car. Also many classic Corvettes (if not most) have this shift pattern. I once rode in a '67 Stingray that had R bext to 1st. :wub:
