May 25, 200619 yr Author So next up is American Revolution... Hope you like it. AS always if you think it sucks just let me know what changes you'd like.
May 25, 200619 yr Does it have to be a GM car? And do I have to be an East Coaster? If no, I be interested. :-D
May 25, 200619 yr Author Not at all... it can be anything from a Radio Flyer wagon in Hawaii to a International Cab-over in Prince Edward Island. All C&G members are welcome. Even FWD cars. ----- DetroitNut: Here's your sig., let me know if any changes are required.
May 25, 200619 yr Awesome, and thanks, but... The truck is actually a GMC. Could the Chevy label be changed? Thanks again!
May 26, 200619 yr Author Wow....I feel like such a retard. I sold one of those S10 crew cab ZR5 in yellow back at Chevy of Lowell & for some reason forgot that the ZRX even existed. It's a nice truck, please take no offense, it was just a stupid oversight. I'll fix it in a min.
May 26, 200619 yr Don't worry, none was taken. I call it a Chevy half the time anyway, since more people know what an S-10 is around here. Take your time, no rush.
May 26, 200619 yr Author I feel esp. bad since your sig clearly says GMC, not Chevy. WMJ & SP: I have not forgoten about you sigs. they'll be done soon!
June 10, 200619 yr Author Nothing like Amber Fog Lights to turn a daily driven detroit monster into a T1Gh+ W#!P.
June 14, 200619 yr Author Beleive it or not, stickers are in the plans, not quite there yet to having them printed but we're getting close. T!@HT WH1P$ version. 2.0 is underway. XP needs to pick up his new ride, I need to get my Super 88 running & SP needs to get a bench seat in the 'Bu and we will be rockin' the show circuit bringing home trophies, A-ight! Mean time if we get stickers printed the cost will be little to nothing per person if we all pull togeather to get the club off the ground.
June 19, 200619 yr I got a new one for ya. I am going to try and find me one of these now to be parked between Beast I and Beast II lol. I love this car so much. If you find one, give me a shout. Here ya go. and could you put this pic with it as well. Thanks. Edited June 19, 200619 yr by american_revolution_2005
June 19, 200619 yr Hey WMJ what happened to Weapons of Mass Jealousy? huh? huh? finaly switched to Tight Whips?
June 20, 200619 yr Sly I need a new sig. Here are some of the better pictures I have of the Malibu :-D
June 20, 200619 yr Is that an original wizzer or a replica? Looks cool either way. Whizzer, whizzer? That ain't no stinkin' whizzer! Here is the real whizzer---- and you can still buy one new!
June 20, 200619 yr Wow....I feel like such a retard. I sold one of those S10 crew cab ZR5 in yellow back at Chevy of Lowell & for some reason forgot that the ZRX even existed. It's a nice truck, please take no offense, it was just a stupid oversight. Talk about oversights....!!! Here the biggie that the General makes. This truck is currently AVAILABLE..... in Brasil! And we got the Colorado! Scheesh!!!!!!!
June 23, 200619 yr Author Here you go buddy: Anyone else in need of a new or upgraded TW sig? -------------------- Ella le gusta le la gasolina Dame mas Gasolina
June 23, 200619 yr rkmdogs, you've got to be kidding about the Brazilian S-10. You'd seriously rather have that here than the Colorado?
June 24, 200619 yr Author No problem buddy.. Razorbacks are the shizznit. So XP needs to get me a few good photos of the 71 CDV and I'm wondering if Decka wants a new Alero TW sig.? -------- ~ Silvester AKA Chapman The greatest automobile ever conceived by man: two shifters, FWD & small enough to be driven into the back of a matching red Plymouth TrailDuster.

July 1, 200619 yr Author Here you go GM1: let me know if you'd like me to make a 3rd or change anything on these ones.
July 1, 200619 yr Maybe when I get my 9C1, I'll quit lurking in here. Hell, maybe I'll start C&G's "Rear-Drive Mafia" to boot. :AH-HA_wink: Edited July 1, 200619 yr by YellowJacket894
July 1, 200619 yr Author Hell, maybe I'll start C&G's "Rear-Drive Mafia" to boot. :AH-HA_wink: Awww Yeahhh Boyyy!!! Ya Knaw it.
July 1, 200619 yr Awww Yeahhh Boyyy!!! Ya Knaw it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm... maybe I should make membership cards with every sign-up that would allow any member to put a few well deserved bullet holes in any random Corolla.
July 1, 200619 yr Sixty8, if you don't mind....? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Uhhh...who's that for, I wonder. It's for you, isn't it?
July 2, 200619 yr rkmdogs, you've got to be kidding about the Brazilian S-10. You'd seriously rather have that here than the Colorado? No, I'm not kidding. I think the Colorado looks like a "committe"-designed truck, and they could not agree! NOW i'M TALKING ABOUT WITH THE 4.3 V6 here, not the 4! Just think, one of these with an LS2 5.3V-8.......... wanna talk about Kick-Ass....!
July 2, 200619 yr If only it had been RWD... :AH-HA_wink: Change your name to Jay Leno and convert it! He did it with a Toranado!
July 2, 200619 yr Maybe when I get my 9C1, I'll quit lurking in here. Hell, maybe I'll start C&G's "Rear-Drive Mafia" to boot. :AH-HA_wink: Yellow Jacket, if you are serious about getting a 9C1, call me! You can see mine at the signing here, or go to www.gofasst.us and look at members cars: Bob Marks
July 2, 200619 yr rkmdogs, but it's still a 1982 S-10 underneath, which had a lot of components lifted from the '78 G-body cars, which makes the brand new Brazilian S-10 almost 30 years old. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind having a first-gen S-10 with a smallblock any more than the next guy, and I love the old RWD G-bodies, but if I'm buying a new truck, I expect a new truck. I don't want a Ranger.

I don't want a Ranger. I LOVE the '78-83 G bodies! I've had 2, and wish I had them both back. In fact, I'm looking right now at some '83-'87 El Caminos, cause I need a mid-size that can haul occassionaly. AND...... I like the front end appearance on the Brasilian S-10 way better than the Colorado. Then there is the matter of that 5 cyl. wanna-be engine........!!!!
July 3, 200619 yr I've had no problemos with mine, 36k miles so far. Last tank, I got 21.7 mpg, I had no hope of doing that well with my last S-10, a '98 ZR2. The 5 cylinder will be enlarged to 3.7L in '07 and I believe it will be rated for 242 hp and 240 lbs of torque, healthy figures if you ask me.
July 4, 200619 yr Actually Sixty8, if you have 2 spare moments, could I ask for you to do this as well as the B-body?
September 10, 200619 yr Hey Sly, If you are still doing Tight Whips pics, I have a new one for you to update on Casper, if you would, please. Thanks,
September 10, 200619 yr Author Sorry everyone, between all the drama & the move ot the new house I have been slacking on making signatures. I'll get back to it ASAP. Great shot of Casper the B-body though. I want a Fleetwood/Roadmaser for my next car, G/F wants truck.
December 26, 200619 yr Author Damn I gotta gete around to these new sigs soon! Sorry for the wait guys. Now I had to post this here... with the exception of a 1931 Cadillac V16 Dual Cowl Phaeton and perhaps a 1932 Duesenberg SJ roadster this is the most awsome car I have ever seen in my life. It is the DEFINITION of a TIGHT WHIP. I want it, baaaadd. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ready...? - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - wait for it... - - - - - - - - - - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volvo-740-V...067138535QQrdZ1 This is a 1986 Volvo 740 Turbodiesel. This model is from right when Volvo started to add a little luxury to their high-end cars, and the 740 is pretty much the top of the line. It has a lot of nice options including: -Leather Seats -Sunroof -Heated Seats -Cloth Top -Power Windows -Power Door Locks -Magnesium Wheels -Automatic Transmission with Lock-Up Torque Converter The engine is a 6-cylinder turbo, which gives it a lot of power. For a car this big (especially since it's a diesel) it has pretty good acceleration. It has 157,000 miles on it, and if you know Volvos and you know diesels, that's just getting broken in. A couple other nice points: -Four good tires: Cooper SLE Touring. They all have about 50% tread left and are in good shape. -I bought this car form the original owner. I have the original title issued by Jaguar/Volvo/BMW of Cleveland. I have most of the service records, including the entire warranty period certified by the dealership. -Brand new battery -Brand new glow plugs -All new belts, filters, and fluids (except for transmission fluid, which I didn't do.) This includes the timing belt. So you're probably not looking at a lot of maintenance anytime soon. Runs and drives good. Starts well even in the cold, and sounds really good from idle to high RPMs when it's at normal operating temperature. This is a used car, obviously, so it has a couple things wrong with it. Nothing major, but I want to be up front about what I'm selling: -The windshield is cracked. You can drive it and see through it fine but it should probably be replaced at some point. -The passenger side brake light cover has a piece broken out. You can see it in the picture. The light inside works. -The finish is in pretty good shape but had a few minor rust spots that I touched up. I think got to them early enough that they didn't do any damage and won't come back. I got a quart of really high-quality matching paint that I'll include with the car in case you ever need to do any more touch-up. -The interior is good but not great. If you want it to be nice, you should probably put in a new headliner (the cloth ceiling thing), which I think would run you like 50 bucks. -The A/C doesn't work.
December 26, 200619 yr So a Swedish car with a carriage top really sets your heart a-flutter, huh? And a non-Presidential Edition carriage top at that! You're an even bigger fruit than I thought!
December 26, 200619 yr Author It's not only sweedish but it's TURBO.... as in turbo-DIESEL *A'ight!* and it's a inline-6... This website is another opportunity to laugh... or cringe. http://www.cdps.k12.ms.us/chs/telef026/02/WORK.HTM
