    So my question is this...I am no auto engineer or expert on metallurgy, so what is the root cause of this. Is it the grade/quality of the steel? The design of the frame rail (boxed vs. open)? Inexperience in making body on frame vehicles? I have tinkered on cars my whole life and I don't think I can ever recall a frame rail rusting to pieces. Granted, I've seen some pretty f'd up by accidents, but I always was under the impression that the frame rail is supposed to be the back bone/strongest part of the vehicle. Oh, and having said that ... other then designing the shape of the rail, the ability to construct one to a certain strength does not seem that difficult that someone like Toyota could not accomplish it.

    Agreed, only thing that would make it perfect is the beaver teeth grille of the G6 GXP. :AH-HA_wink:
  3. The movie rocked, I really enjoyed it. It was nice to see the new Camaro in action and get a sense of what it looks like driving around in the real world. There is a scene towards the end where a parked GTO gets destroyed that brought a tear to my eye LOL. Oh and Megan Fox, well...

    But the question is...if you could pcik one up for dirt cheap (relatively speaking) would you? I think I would. If I could find a W12 in the $35k range. I am not sure how much value these cars retain, but I can definitely see a short term fall off in price with an increase in value in the long term simply due to the scarcity.
