!!!TED!!!

My love affair with cars started around age 2/3. I had a book about cars, and my mom would read from it. I have a tape recording of her reading to me. She points to a picture and says "look at that truck". I chime in and say "mom, thats a Jeep!". :P At around age 4/5, there was a mint 1957 Chevy in my area. When I went for strolls, I would get really excited about it, and point. :) At about age 8/9, I started really inquiring and trying to learn about cars. What got me started on GM was that it really bugged me that there was both a Chevy and GMC cargo van. I couldnt understand why the same vechicle would carry two names. The GM facination was helped along with my aunt having two Camaros. Later, she met my uncle (a car guy) who had owned plenty of neat rides (Eldorados, Fieros, Corvettes, Firebirds). He had a mint '81 Corvette at the time. When I was in grade school (around '93-'95), The Honda Civic was considered to be a complete loser car. No cool person would ever want to be seen in that thing. Later on in high school (around '98-'00), everyone wanted one. <_<

What amazes me is how much the sedan (especially in that picture above) looks like an early nineties concept car. Crazy stuff.

:lol: :P You all missed the worlds first crossover wagon:

This is the best picture. The layout is very good, and the splash of redish colour in the backround adds contrast to the while thing.

Aw nutz. :(

The great thing about technology is that you can fix any mistakes you make in pictures, or enhance them further. I played around with Brians sweet low angle shot...

Im going, passport renewal pending. If a Camaro concept is confirmed, I will be there 100%. :lol:

Go for it. Lets see that finished product!

I was stupid to wait till the very end. The Nomad concept begs to be turned into a C1 Vette, and when I saw Northie extend the contest, I rushed my entry. Develop yours further fuel_sipping, and Ill develop mine, and lets see what happends. :lol: I want your wheels btw. :angry:

5 6 Nice work everyone! B)

Didnt come out all that great, had to print screen when psp crashed. Hour and a halfs work. :P

Kick ass, your doing a good job running the contests Northie!

Can you hold of on closing this for like 5 more minutes. I have a last minite, 11th hour entry. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif Been working on it since you gave the extra hour extension. :blink:

I voted no, but what the hell... :alcoholic:

Actually, the main inspiration for the GMT900's is the 70's, believe it or not: And there is a healthy dose of '73-87 too:

I'd hit it! :booyah:

Nothing more than a chop.

Those cars have awesome horns too. They sound like freight trains. :P And you gotta love the 20 bulb tail lamps. :blink: Nice write up Paulie.

Added: :puke: :booyah:

The AH-HA wink is back: http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif And Iv added the :chevy: :CG_all:

Im thinking the same.

Oldsmoboi: Thats no clunker. Fly: My moms friend just got one of those Colts, exactly as shown. Its nasty.

What what what!

The photostore says 1977, but some sites and books have it as 1973. Who is right? The Phantom is an incredible car, with styling that would work today.
