A Horse With No Name

the Prowler is on my very short list of cars that I want to own before I die. This has to be one of the coolest cars, ever, period, end of discussion. Viper prices are becoming very favorable, and I've thought about going in 50/50 with my son Joel and getting one. And it is doubtful the vette would be what it is today without the Viper. Chris

The Original Cherokee has to be one of the greatest SUV's ever in terms of durability. Our neighbor, Tom put like 450,000 miles on one before deciding to upgrade to a Porsche Cayenne. Chris

Like I said, the Duramax would be my first personal choice in a work truck. Chris

Glad to hear your happy with the V10. We are getting about 15 or 16 out of a 1 ton econoline diesel at work. 300 miles a month? That truck OUGHT to last forever. Good luck with it! Chris

That is an Amazing truck. I'd have gone diesel myself. Chris

QUOTE(Sixty8panther @ Jul 27 2008, 08:49 PM) [snapback]414763[/snapback]True 'bout the Stinkin Lincolns... but also worth mentioning: - Rotted out midsize pickups w/a bed full of crap, high percentage of these are Toyota Tacomas & Ford Rangers. - Old W-bodys, Contours & Tauruses w/ nASScar stickers all over their rumps. - Ford Aerostar/WIndstar, Dustbusters & Mopar minivans, esp. with garbage bag for a window...

...besides, Sixty Eight, the 3.5 Chrysler had PLENTY of power for most driving situations. Not enough to do mindless burnouts in a high school parking lot, but still plenty of power. But I digress, the 300 cars of the 1960's were the Shizzle. I had a chance to buy a 65 Chrysler ragtop a few years back and still regret not buying that car. Ahh, lost opportunity that never comes again! Chris

You still may want a Concorde....alongside the Intrepid. I sold my Concorde 3 years ago and still miss it. Chris

FWD or not it's a hell of a car. Not everyone shares the RWD Bias... For 99.7% or the motoring public, it would work just fine. Chris

Get the Challenger in Silver, seriously. It looks just Sooooo damned HOT in that Color! Chris

...and speaking of personal Bias, I'm going to pass on the BMW 6 series, the TL, the G8,and the Maxima. As soon as I can afford 35k to buy a car I'm going to buy a Subaru WRX STI, so go put that in your pipe and smoke it! (Unless I buy a new Camaro SS first!) Chris

This thread is becoming useless because we are all expressing our personal biases in a sort of blind boxing match that has no winners. It takes real brains to tune a Honda. Hang out with the SCCA guys that do it. I know a professor of Aerodynamics at Ohio State that races a Honda in SCCA events, and she's 57 years old so that should do away with the ignorant ricer boy stereotype. The real Honda performance guys (and gals) and the ricers are two entirely different groups of people. Trust me, the real Honda performance people laugh at ricers as much as sixty eight does. Back in the 70's people who didn't know any better did stupid things with American Muscle cars (and still do-I've seen plenty of Cutlasses and Chevelles with lambo style doors and undercar neons). People do stupid stuff with Hondas. That does NOT make them a bad car for a performance application. I have a good friend with a Prelude with some suspension and power mods I am actually thinking about buying. It's a nice car with plenty of power that handles great. Is it a 68 GTO? No, and I don't want it to be, either. While we can all laugh at the TL, we have to remember that Honda is making money hand over fist in a very down auto market-they must be doing several things right as far as the consumer is concerned. Chris

Which is what I was talking about when I said GM had so many cool, unique cars in their past. Chris

Those Grand Prix cars were AMAZING! When I was a teenager a junkyard had 4 of the 62-64 cars, one of them with a tri power. They wouldn't sell any of them, or many part off of them, but they were complete right down to the 8 lug wheels. I knew a guy with a 71 Grand Prix who rebuilt it to top flight standards with all N.O.S. parts. He sunk a fortune into the car, but it was beautiful, all black. There are a few local Toranado's running around, I always like looking out from the Miata at them in traffic. When I was younger I knew a guy with a 65 Sport Fury just like the Indy pace car (White on blue) that was pristine. Wonderful, wonderful car. Guy was about 17 years old and just CRAZY about MOPARS. He babied that 65, which was unusual for a teenager. Chris

That is about as far from FWD compact as you can get! Chris

Keep us posted, Dave. Chris

Would it not be easier to buy a Concorde with a 3.5 or a 300 (300LX, not current 300) with a 3.5 and enjoy the upgrade in ammenities? Chris

I have a strange fetish for Green cars (ask my wife!). That year Z in that Color is about the best looking, sweetest car GM EVER built. Chris

Depends on who you are and what state of life you are in. It's not a bad car (G37) just not my cup of tea. Have a friend that has one and loves it. Chris

I love greens, I love that Color, and your right it would look great on the Camaro. Chris

...again it would be great to get Chryselr back. Look at the great cars they built in the 1960's, or the 1990's for that matter. It will be interesting to see what "new" vehicles they come up with. A cool Discontinued vehicle is the Crossfire, BTW. We have neighbors who bought a white one...and it is a cool car. Not my cup of tea, but cool none the less. Chris

No offense, but we need more pics of Jen... Although you are pretty good with a Camera. Have you ever thought about becoming a photographer? Chris

I would love to live in the U.P. and be a YUPER... chris

If the B-Bodies are copies I'm kinda glad MOPAR did it...they are cool cars! Chris
