Born and raised in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

I tried to read it like a WWE announcer...but alls that I got going is this... Lets Get Ready To RUUUUUMMMMMBLE!!! and then my mind went to this and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NMvRnpDCzo and let me not forget this one...OOOOOH YEAH!!!

Pop-up stores? Pop in 1 place...stick around for a couple of days...then pack up and leave and on to the next location? Kinda like a carnival/circus where all kinds of weird sideshow people entertain you? My my...is that how I should think about a Tesla Model S now? Like a freak show? Just kidding....That sounds like an interesting idea...but vacationing rich people...do they think about cars while on vacation enough to actually "waste" their vacation time looking to spend more money already on a vehicle purchase that they havent already thought of...because rich people...the car enthusiasts...or even the green enviro types...would have already bought themselves the "in" Tesla...the rest of the rich people....that havent bought a Tesla...yet...its because their current car has not been amortized yet....and while on vacation....I dont see them taking the time to crunch the numbers...you know...if its viable of them to spend money on a new...."toy" They are on vacation...after all... I dont know if you guys understand what I mean....but I made my opinion...if need be...Ill explain it better later...

That is how she sounds like...she sounds kinda like a Tiger growling...

I LOVE ELECTRICITY Reason #1 ZEUS and his lightning bolts Reason #2 Raijin...Japanese Mythology... (I love history) Raiden makes for very cool movie and video game characters. And... Why AC/DC of course!!! And how appropriate...THUNDERSTRUCK!!! and HIGH VOLTAGE

Yeah...something like that...and much more.... Location identification and ransom and blackmail and stuff... Yeah...only in the movies, right? Well, I aint taking that chance...because sometimes art does imitate life...and there has been real life cases of what I fear...so...there is that. Anyhoo...in another random thought...my first "IGNORE POSTER" feature will be activated shortly...and I aint talking about you, Balthazar....I like you...a lot...the 442 helps but the 1940s Truck you have just makes me respect the crap outta you...you are a REAL car crazy guy...I like that

Sorry Sauvi. I havent posted personal pics on the internets all this time...I aint gonna start now. "Identity theft and all things bad like that" phobia Ive got. The only personal pic Ive posted in my life was in these here forums with the Olds Alero.... I took a chance on that...since that pic was taken in 2000-2001 at my parents home....very hard for it to bite me in the butt.

I FINALLY washed, detailed and waxed my car and my wife's car for the first time since winter ended.... I FINALLY got all the salt stains and grime and dirt and dust from both car's interiors the last 3-4 days. I AM EXHAUSTED! But I am THRILLED that both cars look GREAT, smell GREAT and I could be proud again driving them. And Trans Am...just because!

Not necessarily, I have seen plenty of test mules where they stretched out the fenders to support a drive train truly meant for some other product but they wanted to throw off the Photo Hounds. This could be just such a test mule. Something for the CTS but they wanted to hide it so left off inner wheel well covers to test a drive train and in this case it could be the LS7 system for a new CTS-V Coupe maybe. yes...exactly...a product model of some sorts..."not necessarily an ATS" is what I should have continued on to say. But yeah...it seems like the LS7 might live on...

Well, if it is indeed a test mule of some sorts...would not that mean that the LS7 will make it to a product model of some sorts? Things that make you go HMMMMM just the same...

"Eltz Castle is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River between Koblenz and Trier, Germany." Google is my friend. So I just dropped the image of that castle in the Google Image box...and Voila! Like magic... Id love to visit Germany one day. All of Europe actually. Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Hungary...ahem Monaco...(maybe a tad too rich for my blood), Austria...where Ill throw another shrimp on the Bar B... Sometimes I just crack myself up! (Ok...that joke was stolen from somewhere else...sue me!) On second thought...let me just reference it just in case...Dumb and Dumber...that joke comes from Dumb and Dumber... Ive been to Greece countless of times...but its nice to see other parts of the world, non?

Here...a nicer pic of the C70 I liked this Volvo also...and I saw the movie when it first came out...movie sucked..I wanna say car rocked...but no...no it did not...the car really did nothing...it just sat there lookin' pretty...

For the good 'ol American life... For the money, for the glory and for the fun. Mostly for the money... Oh...I mentioned that I like this Bimmer...I actually do. I like it a lot. But I would rather 1. a 2016 Camaro 2. a 2016 Mustang GT350..and at only $47 000 American Dollars..its a NO BRAINER to choose the Mustang over this Bimmer!!! and I would rather this hommage car over the Bimmer...(youtube link below) Just my with a little bit of entertainment for ya'll.

Are you ready to Do It Again, Taurus? You and I both, tried to Be True To Our School... But,we were both Shut Down from all the trolling and the crappy forum software problems Wouldnt it Be Nice if we could just post... And NOT be Wiped Out? Well, let the Good Vibrations roll In this new Surf City called Cheers and Gears... (OK..not a Beach Boy song...sorry) where hopefully there are two girls for every boy...we dont like sausage fests... :D Good to see you, Taurus...

She is beautiful.... and you drag race her... She will definitely do. Like I said though, 7-8 years...possibly as long as 10...because I have a couple of financial obligations I have to meet before that dream becomes a reality. I would restomod her though...since she aint a '69 Hurst/Olds or a '70 442...parts matching '69 or '70. I dont know if you can wait that long...

I gave you a "thumbs up" for that. While I aint ready to buy just yet..give me another 7-8 years....my house has to get paid up first. But SURE...Im DEFINITELY a buyer! In what kind of condition is she in? Speaking of a custom car of someone's own design.... I have another dream...to build myself a Ford T-Bucket Hot Rod or a '33 Ford Roadster Hot Rod with a Greek and a Canadian theme...to reflect who I am...

Like that castle! Me too. That castle inspired me to have the Acropolis of Athens as my signature.

I wouldn't worry to much. But on some instances, it is appropriate.

1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Tied for 1st place 1969 Hurst/Oldsmobile H/0 455 However...when one is accustomed to modern vehicles.....a restomod 1969/1970 Cutlass with modern everything...suspensions and engines and interior creature comforts...engine supplied by Chevy...LSX crate motor, etc...to look like a Hurst/Olds or 442 will do. Like Balthazar said about his Caddy....I could drive a restomod 442 forever.

He lives above the snow-belt of the snow-belt. Then Miata with a Hardtop with studded tires.

Cult of Personality? That reminds me of something... The Cult...however these are the only 3 songs I care about from them.

Well...I WANT it to happen... But Casa also makes me want it to NOT happen... Because of what he said...based on what Johan wants of Cadillac... Johan wants Cadillac to be independent...with their own engines...and this is a PURE CHEVROLET engine... Way to go Casa...be a kill joy for me! Sometimes Casa, you are way too logical...leave us have some dream time, will ya?... I will retract from what I said in the other ATS thread and go with what Casa said...no...I dont think Johan will do this one...but maybe Johan has another crazy engine lined up...one that is a Cadillac...and I did read that Cadillac will be pumping out its own engines very shortly...

Im sick of all this too... However, GM tried to cover it up...and THAT is what Im concerned about. Not the fact that they tried to save a few pennies on a part that they made another company re-engineer. That company also kept things under wraps...as to not lose the contract. My comment was directed towards the HUMAN element...not the corporation...not GM...but the people that were in charge of those decisions that were criminal. Delphi...the head honcho of that contract...if I remember correctly...his engineers hinted of a possible failure...yet the head QC guy went ahead... My dad...worked at Canadair (Bombardier Aerospace) for 40 years. The last 15 years or so...he was the head manager of Quality Control. Before he released an airplane part or the entire aircraft...depending on the contract he was in charge of, his inspectors would inspect...and he would scrutinize EVERYTHING...and if it passed....he then proceeded to sign off the part or airplane...his signature was the last signature before the client received... In one case...a Boeing 767 pressure dome was rushed by production because Canadair was tight on its deadline...the head manager of production and the general manager of the contract pressured my dad to just release the part...my dad REFUSED....his boss...and their was only 2 bosses above my dad...his direct boss....in charge of that contract and the Canadair President...well...he told off his direct boss and his boss threatened my dad that he would be fired...for doing his job...well my dad called that bluff, he said that he will not only hire a lawyer...but will go DIRECTLY to Boeing and tell them waz up...and my dad did EXACTLY that...my dad had the cojones to STAND UP to that corporate culture of just putting human beings in danger... Boeing flew my dad to Seattle to straighten matters up... Result...the head production guy got fired...my dad's direct boss DEMOTED... My dad...well...he continued on... My dad was head QC guy with these contracts... Boeing 767 pressure dome McDonnel Douglas F-18 barrel nose RCAF CF-18 Hornet maintenance program Canadair Challenger....yup the whole aircraft before being delivered to rich assed customer... Canadair CL-215/CL415 water bomber...yup the whole aircraft... When my dad's time to retire came up...Canadair wanted my dad to be in charge of the Regional Jet program in Wichita,Kansas... my dad kindly declined...he was 65 and was worn out by the constant corner cutting by production and trying to weasel parts that barely make tolerances...and these are aircraft...tolerances in airplanes HAVE to be respected...because disaster strikes quickly up in the air... And that is what the corporate culture is lacking today... People that have morals. People that actually care about the consequences....and are not just about missing deadlines and cost cutting measures... While El K...I understand the cost cutting measures that GM was forced to have because of what happened in the 1970s...because the Detroit 3 was FORCED to comply with the foreign makes PUSHING themselves in the North American market....because our governments fell head over heels with the foreign makes... Yeah I know...the Detroit 3 made crappy cars.... Its not ONLY that... Because the foreign makes ALSO made crappy cars in THAT SAME TIME frame... Not to stray too far apart from this... Point that I want to make... Some corporate weasels dont have the cojones to stand up for what is right... Some corporate weasels will sell their moms...and themselves...for the all mighty dollar... This mentality WILL ALWAYS result in disasters and/or fake bankruptcies that steal money from regular folk... And our governments ALLOW for this to happen... And...no punishment... Sure...Bernie Madoff and Conrad Black are in jail...how many others deserve not only jail time...but Mr. Executioner as well? This is not a rant against GM...or Ford..or even Honda because I mentioned foreign makes... This rant is against all that is evil within a criminal corporate culture...
