Ahhh.... my sound was turned off.

Thanks buddy. To a guy like me wiht Gasoline in his veins that's a real compliment. I forgot to mention the time I almost bought a 1963 Impala for a daily driver... it was a 2-door hardtop and had a tired old 283. The car needed some major electrical work but I was ready to sell my '87 Cougar XR7 (85K miles) so I could afford it. I loved that car. Would have bought it for my daily driver too if someone had not beaten me to it. That car also had manual drum brakes all around. Except it weighed about another 1500 lbs. more than the Camaro. Scary. The X-frame was what really would have given me headaches since it had some substantial rust on it.

damn that's funny. Since it's bright red should it be called the Rudolph!? :cheers:

not that easy wiht a new car. You'dd spend a fortune to reverse a modern 6-speed.

Wiht Mitsubishi it's either really cool or wicked ugly. Usually there' no middle ground.

It's different, and that in an of itself is a lot better than blending in. I think the styling fits the car's character.... Not everything the French are doing is ugly:

This is not very impresive at all now that we have a 505HP Z06.

I'm sure the V8 can be shoehorned in, but can the car still pass crash tests with a big V8 in under the hood? That wouild be/might be the deal breaker.

I've been saying exactly this for how long? Buying a Hybrid to save on gas is more shortsighted than buying a Cow to save on milk.

Thanks James... Awsome link. I'll have to check that out in the AM. It's 3:30 and I have to get some sleep now. :)

Damn I love Will Ferrell... neber saw that one though and the link is not working, all that comes up is a sillly walpaper with tiled Black Stratuses on it and the slogan writen acros it.

Past 25% throttle (gas pedal is where it counts) the skip shift is defeated.

I think the Honda has ZERO sense of style or design direction... look at those wheel wells, the headlights, horrific off-road stance and the pseudo-Mustang-esque side scoop. :puke: The Beat /Cappucino makes the Miata look like a E-type Jag or a '57 Vette. IMHO. The Kia has more style and looks like a French Kappa car.

BV: I agree about most of these retro-Camaros being poorly excecuted but I think there's several AWSOME exceptions to the rule! :) Hope Crispey does not mind me posting these:

Just so we're clear the "signature link to porn" thing WAS an accident... I change my sig. more often than my underwear (most can testify to that I think) I never even saw it to be honest. At around the same time I did have a prblem with my Avatar and Sig however... my sig. pic will sometimes just up and [x] out on me sometimes. It's not like the link just up and walks away so perhaps it's a spyware thing, I donno. If I was borwsing the net at work or in a public library I'd be natrually cautious as to what I view, regardless of the forum/site. My number one concern would be the Boss seing me F*&%ing off online and not what specifically I was looking at. I WILL make an effort to be more curtious but my notion of innapropriate is right up there wiht BV. Razor: you crack me up! :P

As usual I'm LMAO at Ocnblu's post. :lol:

For what it is, I don;t think it looks all that bad. Even if you hate the funky/cute styling you have to admit it looks better than the Honda Cappucino/Beat.

I knew there was a use for the 1st-to-4th trans! :P

Because that's not a GTO, it's a Holden. :)

As would I. :)

G/As always shared the Alero Doors, they just removed the Ribs (molding) for 2003. That was Lutzs' idea. As far as the side mirors though, what a difference.... the Ameba shaped black ones look terrible.

Even a better question... why do I see 2003 and lter Grand Am GTs wiht the ugly plain shaped black side view mirrors while my Parent's 2002 G/A GT has the gorgeous BMW style ones? That always boggled my mind. The non-body colored cheap ones are just plain gross.

WOW!!! :blink: BTW: those tail lights on the Subaru 9x (I mean B5) are so very cheesy and cheap looking it makes my brain hurt.

The world needs another small SUV like I need a hole in my head. <_<
