My NEW.. 1966 Chevy Impala SS
Perfection. What size are those wheels. Love the deep dish. The lack of the pinstripe is reason enough to get this car painted.. even if I leave the car the same color. LOL.. I will. Again its not much more I can do except the interior cosmetics, exterior paint (if I decide to) and the wheels. The Electrical issue with the wipers will be dealt with hopefully this weekend as well.. depending on the weather. Mechanically it is very strong. It sounds like a damn dream. The cam just "lomp.. womp womp.. loomp"

My NEW.. 1966 Chevy Impala SS
Real deal. Completely vetted. Just installed a Wood Steering wheel .. looks slick. Yes that is a CLUB.. LOL... Dash needs a repaint so this weekend if its nice.. the masking will begin. Same color.. which is like a goldish tan I hate many of the late 70s cars, but I have t give props to the Malibu of that time if done right now.. at less than 3000 lbs it can be made to be a helluva Hot rod

My NEW.. 1966 Chevy Impala SS
Thanks all for the compliments. @balthazar and @dfelt are U saying that U believe that the STS rims won't fit properly? Trying to save myself the time and energy of putting them in it is pointless

My NEW.. 1966 Chevy Impala SS
Thanks. I'm thinking I'm going for these 17" (American Racing Torque II) wheels if my 20s (on my STS) don't work

My NEW.. 1966 Chevy Impala SS
I've been absent of late because I decided to get another '66 Impala. The other one I have is a joint venture between my Dad and I. Recently he's been driving it more and more.. and I'm never able to get into it.. LOL... so I decided that I would just buy myself one completely for myself. This one is in great condition.. but does have a few scratches in the rear area around the trunk and on the front corner, but nothing dire. I keep telling everyone I'm gonna repaint the whole car Black.. but every one of them says "Why??? Just get the scratches repaired.. the color is nice as FUCK." It's a deep maroon.. called Madeira Maroon. Currently I'm sporting 14" (yeah.. I said 14) Chrome Ring Rally wheels but am either going with the 20 inch rims I still have from my old 2005 STS or.. if they won't fit.. buying some 17 inch American Racing Torque Thrust II 396ci, 4 speed Muncie, true dual exhaust.. headers, and flowmasters Been getting engine right along with new shocks all 4, got rid of air shocks and when with gas.. Wipers don't work.. but I'm gonna take it to a guy I kno who will handle that. AM.. yup AM radio doesn't work, but she's so loud when U hit the gas.. I doubt I could hear it even if it was a HD XM radio Anyway... Here are pics.. (The Black Tahoe is not mine. Some one tapped my Yukon in the back and scratched the bunper and cracked the hitch cover. Their car's front was FUCKED UP.. basically because they hit the hitch cover. which.. has a HITCH UNDER IT. That's all frame U kno..)

Chevrolet News:The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox Could Have Looked So Much Different
I didn't bring the Mustang discounts in as a put-down.. I brought them in because the Mustang and the Camaro are in the same segment... competitors.. and each is a gauge of the other. If one does something then the other must follow. That shill Stew tried to make a thing of the incentives.. as if GM was actually losing money on a car that they obviously artificially priced higher

Chevrolet News:The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox Could Have Looked So Much Different
Big Money??? $3000 on Loyal or 3500 on Conquest buyers.. on a car that starts off at $1700 more than the Mustang.. WHICH IS DOING THE EXACT SAME REBATE. Your point is NULL. Believe me I checked all of that before I made my original post.. just in case a dullard tried to fuck with me

Gen 5 had a 7 year glut of Camaro/Firebird fans. Granted New generations normally create a sales bump.. but I can't stress the fact that the new GM is doing business has nothing to do with NORMALLY.. especially when it pertains to them. In other words the numbers are not the true measure by which GM, under Barra rule is gauging things. The old GM.. (1980-2009), even the newish GM ( 2009-2013) under Smith to Wagoner to Henderson (Whitaker was too short and Akerson, IMO, started this new way of business) saw sales as a gauge of success. Barra sees profit and innovation as the measure. I prefer this.. as a fan cars and a stock holder. Also.. the Camaro is a PLATFORM (Camaro, CTS, ATS)vehicle similar to the previous. I wouldn't be surprised if the Alpha Global sales are similar to the ZETA (Commodore, Caprice, Omega, Lumina, Camaro) Global sales 2016-2017 because as much as people like to dog out the ATS, for instance, its doing pretty decently globally. I kno that sounds like an excuse.. but from a business stand point if its producing more profit.. not producing and selling like this then why wouldn't U. 2015's $9.7 and '16s $9.5 Billion is hard to argue against. This is after leaning out and not adding a bunch of rental fat. BTW.. I always though that the Challenger should have been outselling the Camaro and Mustang for that matter.. simply because it really isn't as performance focused as the two. Its a big family coupe that happens to use the old Detroit option of a big engine. It kinda has a niche of its own.. and Sergio, if U notice, really hasn't effed with it. Considering it and the Charger are his only sellers in the CAR world, I could see both being the same for another 2 years min.

The Camaro 6 is technically a waaaaaaay better car than the Camaro 5. I hate using the analogy when it comes to sales but saying what U are saying essentially means that the Corolla.. is the best car on the copact market because it has sold for longer and more so than all other compacts. Same for the Camry. I personally don't kno anyone who would say that the Corolla is a better car than the Cruze, Civic, or Mazda 3 Well there is not a necessity for revolution in car design every 5 years anymore. The Challenger is a prime example of this.. to your next comment.. Refresh??? The Challenger has been the same since 2006 for all intents with a simply change to front and rear clips to anyone looking. Its design is still HOT. There was no need to change it IMO. Ford could have left the Mustang alone.. the pre-facelift was actually slick.. but they effed it up. The Camaro rear end is the only negative I see on it.. it should have been left the same going all the way back to 2013 when they made the change from the 4 squares. Ironically I feel the same about the ATS front. The original front was better looking, IMO, than the change that took place for 2015. Point is that in terms of sales Chevy could do a bunch of things to boost their numbers.. the first being dump to fleet by about 25-30% like the other two Pony Cars and seriously.. no one can tell me that.. looking like the old one or otherwise.. that this car is not effin SWEET

I think that is the point. The smaller CUV market normally skews to women. The Terrain on the other hand still looks more masculine.. at least to me. AND there may be a huge set-up for Chevy trying to get ready for a Trailblazer (based on Colorado7) launch

The thing is that technically the Camaro groups got it right. Especially considering they moved the Camaro from a Full-Size platform to a compact one. The sales deficiency comes from lack of fleet sales IMO.. especially when compared to what Ford has done with the Mustang and FCA has done with the Chally. The only other thing Camaro team could have done would have simply left the car alone in styling.. trying to literally replicate the Camaro5 with no changes at all to visuals.. much in the way the Challenger folks have done. Well I guess they could improve (by simply going back to the 2010-2012 model) taillights

Infiniti Q50 3.0T RWD
and I hear U.. but alas.. the G37S is another gen.. and the Qs seem to me to have regressed in the area of interiors.
-
Infiniti Q50 3.0T RWD
that's because there is no "Infiniti appeal." Everything Cp described was on point imo, except the interior fit and finish. My recent experience with one would have yielded a 5. I will say that because there is no conceivable reason why one would buy an Infiniti over a Nissan. None. CP.. Congrats on your Nuptials.

Buick to launch Avenir as high-end sub-brand
I really think it was the best solution. Going Alpha numeric.. Either that or the world really needs to get with the program, renounce their bullshit heritages and rally behind the only language that matters.. English. And I'm talking American English not that crap from the UK and Oz. While we are at it kill this religion thing too. Everyone worship one perfect idea of a person.. He already has the ending.. "the Great XvX" to his name. Serious as a heart attack
