XP715

Not the cleanest engine bay I own, but definitely the biggest, and certainly the one I'm currently most proud of. Just put her all back together last week!

There's your picture; surprise me with whatever style text you see fit.

Tesla Motors?! They make cars now?!

The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Definitely.

Me too, and I already have one! There's a girl at my college with a supercharged Light Adriatic Blue metallic '95 that I looked at before she ever got it from her father; I bug them on a regular basis about selling it to me when she's all done with it. Hopefully some day I'll get that phone call I've been waiting for and be able to add another one of 'em to my fleet. I'd love to have a beater Riviera and keep my Bright White Diamond one nice.

There's plenty of things you could do with it. You could simply buy it, fix the brakes so she stops, and flip it for a good profit. If you like it and it's a good solid start, then put a little money into it and make it a show car. Or, if it's a piece of $h!, fix what needs to be fixed and drive it around to scare the $h! out of people until it breaks in half, then part it out. 300 bananas for a running driving '64 Electra 225 is a steal any way you slice it.

Link to the closed auction, please!

What about the original Gone in 60 Seconds; I thought that was pretty cool. A relatively low-budget film for the time with crazy chase scenes (the police car T-boning a row of brand new Eldorados at a Cadillac dealership and crushing the first three or four together was unbelievable!) and some interesting cameos from people from the racing scene (At one point the main character steals J.C. Agajanian's Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow from the VIP parking at Ascot Park; another night he steals Parnelli Jones's Olympia Beer Ford Bronco). Also the movie had a pretty interesting list of cars that needed to be stolen; when was the last time you saw a 1930 Hudson Great Eight, anyways?

Just donate it to the XP715 Foundation; they'd be most appreciative

A two-door hardtop instead of a convertible?! Well $h!, I know I'd end my life if I were you; that's terrible! Photos please!

Would an error also be that half the car's specifications are preceded by the words "Super Duty" when there's nothing at all Super Duty about a Fiero?

'94-'96 Buick Roadsmasher or Cadillac Fleetwood. I'd only go for a Caprice if it were a real 9C1, but that's just me; any B-body would make a fine replacement for your old car.

Very sharp!

We should start a program here on the site to get people to retire their old cars as well..... and donate them to us! I'm sure we could give them some sort of receipt for a bull$h! tax writeoff and we'd be putting older cars back into the hands of people that want them, namely us! It's win-win if you think about it. Well, for me it would be anyways

I posted my three rides, but where's everybody else's? I want to see 'em, especially the old stuff!

Here's my '96 Riviera at about the halfway point of the storm as I made the first pass with the snowblower; the way the wind got channeled between the two houses made for a really weird snowdrift on top of the car. And here's my old '79 Cadillac Coupe DeVille over at Sixty8's house

My first car was a W-body; a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme sedan. That little 3.1 never gave me an ounce of trouble ever! Loved it so much that when I stacked it up the first time I was dumb enough to put a junkyard nose on it and have the thing repainted. Three weeks after it was done some asshole kid on a blunt ride during his lunch break cuts me off and the thing gets totalled again. Rest in peace, little buddy

Once when I was younger, my mother was convinced that I was some incorrigible douchebag and had no respect for her and every other thing that moms say about their sons when they're like 13, so she insisted that we go see a counselor about it. Finally, after much protesting, she made me go. So we go into the guy's office and my mother and I sit down next to each other in two big chairs, and after the standard simple questions he starts to get into the personal $h!. The very first question he asks me is "can you cite any major stresses in your life?" And I said "yeah, she's sitting right next to me." Needless to say the session ended up being very brief, and it was the only one we ever had. The subject never came up again, and I've apparently grown out of whatever stage I was perceived to be in. So yeah, I'd say it was extremely helpful.

You're damn right I wish we had Prius police cars; then I'd be able to drive as fast as I want!

Very good! It came out of the Cadillac section of an old beat up hardbound Chilton's of my father's from 1976.

..... and on Sundays I'll just roll with Dad in his '37 Packard Super Eight touring sedan!

We still need six more members!

I'll be working on the fourth, then nothing.

Name's XP715, but "Ross" is what they put on the birth certificate. I currently have two rear-drive cars in my ever-changing fleet: a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme sedan, and a 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. I also used to own a 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, to finish off the list of rear-drive vehicles I've owned. I think big body on frame rear wheel drive land barges are where it's at and Toyota can eat $h!. Think I qualify?

Poor blind bastard; somebody probably told him it was a Porsche.
