A Horse With No Name

But the number 1 issue for me is the Debt-Deficit, and I don't trust the republicans after being lied to by Reagan, Lied to by Bush Sr, and Lied to by Bush Jr. For 30 years they've been saying they arewanting to do something about it, but the debt always seems to go up faster under the Republicans. Republicans will reduce deficit spending about the time Toyota builds a 455 Powered 442 Droptop Cutlass with a 4 speed and an 8 track. Chris

The really nice thing about Theocracy is that it is self curing. Iran has a lot of people who really no longer want to live under Sharia law. The best thing to do would be to abolish religious thinking altogether, but good luck with that idea. Chris

I really like it, it is MUCH nicer than the current car. Chris

I think the 17's would be just fine on a five door, the 18's look goooood on the two door/threedoor though. If you get one get blue or silver, IMHO. Chris

...and it was when GM advertised and marketed the car. My cousin Gregg had a black 79, IIRC with T-tops. I had a good friend in College that had a 79 or so Z that was white with T-tops and blue stripes...I can still feel the rumble of the duals from that thing. ...and who can forget the 79 or so Z-28 they destroyed in Fast Times at Ridgemont High? IIRC it was Sean Penn's stoner charactor that wrecked it.... Chris

Evidently they were wrong enough that GM made it wrong wheel drive and then discontinued the car. I would LOVE to own another Cutlass. I had a Cutlass when my wife and I were dating....we took some wonderful trips in that car...including one across part of Canada that was one of the all-time best times of my life. Ahhh...for REAL cars again. Chris

They were incredible cars. A sixty 5 Supersport Hardtop (2 door) lived on each side of me growing up. Damn, I miss those cars. Chris

I can relate to the prewar car lust, 68. I am thinking a V-8 Ford or a Stoveboltn 6 Chevy may very well be in my future. But I want it stock and original, if possible. I could handle a street rod but... I really want say a 36 Ford so bad I can't stand it. Chris

It is a hell of a car, dude. I'd think hard...I love the way it drives. Chris

What issues? There is NO category whatsoever that he can take Obama on. Chris

Considering NONE of the Republicans in my lifetime (Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush SR, Bush Jr) have cut actual government spending, this is just another pure bull$h! lie from McCain. Chris

IIRC we were making major progress back during the Carter years until craphead Reagan cut the funds. +1 Chris

As the former owner of a 55 Chevy, I'm just happy to see it make the list. 55 FTW! Chris

G8 slightly used ought to be about 22-25k in a year or two, about $425-445 per mo if you finance it, Pauli. Probably a bit more than you want to spend, but it would make a very nice car for you. Although there is a little of Sixty-Eight in me and somehow I always picture you driving an Italian Car, like an Alfa Milano or an old GTV. Chris

I'd like to come, BTW, great pics. That early 70's red vette is to die for, and the silver first gen MONTE is awesome. Thanks for sharing this...it really made my day. Chris

Things haven't been good here, for sure. I miss a lot of people...sad, really. Maybe the newer car you can save for is a 39 Lasalle, which will be newer than Oldsmoboi's model "A"? Seriously, I used to be just like you, only with houses. I lived in a Craftsman Style bunga low, and the newest thing in the house was built in 1915, swore I would never buy a newer house. But I realized I needed a better neighborhood and a school district, so we built a new four bedroom house 7 or 8 years ago and have lived there since. Next house I am going to build is going to be a re-creation of a Craftsman Style bungalow with all of the "issues" of the previous house fixed. Great pic of Sofia BTW, reminds me of when my daughter Joanna was 4 and riding in my 55 Chevy... Good luck with whatever you do, sixty eight. Chris

The wheels are going to come off of the whole thing pretty quickly, IMHO. Chris

We need to attack it from both the left and the right. We need, for instance, real financial help for the gifted Science student when she comes from a poorer family. The governmetn can do that. We need individuals to give to individual charities. I'm not religious, per se...but the notion that "God doesn't give a man more money so he can go from a Chevy to a Lexus, he gives them more money so a family in Africa can get one step further from starvation" goes along way with me.

Ohmygosh...I am not a fan of bigger cars but this thing is really cool. It has a lot of syle and presence. If GM can make money selling 25,000-50,000 a year and keep it here, more power to them. IMHO this is the kind of car GM needs to be building. Chris

I wouldn't want NAV in one. I wonder if the blackberry color carries over...the FIT looked excellent in that. Although the Cobalt is really growing on me also, I am almost ready to get in the market for one. Chris

I know what you mean, Camino. Neither party seems to be close enough to the center to relate to the things americans really want. I've been going door to door for the obama campaign,and a lot of people share your level of disgust with our political process. Personally, I'd vote for a third party candidate before I'd vote for McCain. I don't trust the man at all. Chris
