NG Malibu
I think his colorization is completely f*cked up and ruins the image of what it really looks like. It might be wise to edit that image out asap- It doesn't belong to you! It's not yours to share....What your'e doing hurts GM

Ever feel bad for a car?
I know exactly what you mean! I have felt ghosts while browsing for parts, and thought of all those you loved and cherished certain cars... Bought new, shined and loved....then they rot. and what about those cigarettes with lipstick in the ashtray of a totalled car....hmmmm

Mexico set to legalize
No ...Just those who enter without any legal documents, then start demandingrights that are due to Americans who work hard and pay taxes. Total bull$h!. If you don't like being an illegal in America, get the F*CK out.... Don't take they day off and have a demonstration.... Clog our streets with stupid banners. Speak English, follow the laws, pay the taxes, or git.

Some Questions...
Oh and another thing! I love $h!ty cars... there is a very special feeling you get from buying a $h! box for a couple hundred....and fixing a few things, and then it runs awesome for thousands of miles! ask Sixty8. I bought a leaky caprice for $100 once and cut off the top with a sawzall. I loved that thing for a couple years and sold it for a profit.

Some Questions...
Plan the plan, then work the plan. No one is gonna beam down a load of cash ... My Dad said "Sure you can get a car" after I got a job, saved enough money to buy the car and insurance....and I did. I was the baby of a family of 8 kids, My Dad was broke. I think people that are "given" cars don't value them as much as if they earned them, and purchased their own.... Likewise, parents that give cars to their children are in some ways doing them a disservice by enabling them to be less independant...and rely on others too much. If you want a cool car, make the plan and then do it. I'm not being mean, just practical.

K & N?
So true. Save your money. I have tried K&Ns...they work great for a few months.After they are dirty, it's a lost cause. That oil and dirt does not come out.... Your money is better spent on new air filters! You can get 5 for the cost of 1 K&N. So sorry, 4000lbs + 305 = bad news. You need a lighter car, and at least a 350.... before you even think about a TH400 and a rear end. the 400 would also need a different crossmember and likely drive shaft changes too. It's not the same length as what you have now.

Jerry Flint slams the G6 'vert
I drove the HT conv.... and really liked it. The interior is kick ass, and by the way, is rated higher in initial quality than the Accord and Camry( J.D. Powers) . The fit and finish on the I/P is first rate - sweet black and chrome w/ very tight gaps... love it.

G&d Dammit!!! I let the top down!!!
If it were mine, I would pull the seats, console, and carpet, totally dry out that beeeotch for a week. I can get Service manual copies for that stuff,....just in case you don't go that warranty route. I'm really sorry that happened!

CONAN O'BRIEN
He is probably one of the funniest guys on the planet!!!! Highly underrated....The coolest part is all the unscripted, off the cuff stuff he pulls out. I think he's on too late for most, and doesn't get nearly enough recognition.

Do you tell a guy if his fly is down?
1: Feel no embarassement when you are helping others. Just say it. 2: Same concept. Good people communicate with and care about others, I would wait `til he at least had some pants and say- Sorry if I'm being too nosy, I couldn't help noticing..... If he's crabby, his prob not yours! What if you save his life- Karma is real.

g-6 convertible design flaw
I asked a guy named Richard... to show me and he did it while everyone watched, while the top was down. You can load some stuff, like pizza boxes or garment bags in between the stored roof panels with the trunk open. I don't make stuff up...I saw it. I Guess you guys will have to wait til you get your hands on a real one. No, you can't load suitcases or golf clubs... whatever. Dealers don't know $h!. I will post a picture asap

My 2004 GTO
Nice ride! Any sticker comes off easy with heat....(heat gun or blow drier) warm it up real good, slip under it with a razor blade and pull slow, keeping the heat on it. Goo gone will eliminate any residual gorilla snot.

g-6 convertible design flaw
The dark blue car displayed at the Detroit Auto Show was an early production model, with the top down, you press the release on the key fob...the trunk has the ability to swing both ways, just like BV.... So it pops open like a conventional trunk. Of course, much of the room is still taken up by the stored roof panels, but there is room in between the panels, and storage under the panels. The cover needs to be in place when the roof does it magic as to eliminate the chance that idiots would pile a ton of things into the storage area, and then activate the mechanism, W/O the cover, things could get caught in the scissoring linkage jamming that beeeotch up. I really like the pillarless look with the top up and windows down. The only flaw regarding the amazing design, are the unreal expectations of a few who don't bother to find out how things work.
