The Official MPG Thread
Which is why I just LOVED my Concorde when I had it. 28-29 m.p.g. in 80% highway use. I miss the Chrysler LX series cars. Chris

Hardtop Convertibles
the sexiest rooflines of the early 60's are on the midsized mopars (say a 64 Sport Fury) and fullsize Chevrolets (62-64 Impala, anyone) Both of which had great Hardtop/Convertible lines. Chris

CURSES
We had guys working with us from out of town when I worked at Gaylor Electric. We were doing the Psychology building at Ohio State and they brought guys in from INDY, where the company H.Q. is. One of the guys parked his truck (admittedly a Toyota Tundra) in a no parking zone, but it was only a no parking zone two days of the week. When the towing company towed his truck, he asked me for a ride down to get it. We got there at 5:10 and they wouldn't let us get the truck, even though everyone was still there. They closed at 5:00, so we were only 10 minutes late. Worse, the truck owner was diabetic and starting to need insulin. It took threats of both a lawsuit and kicking the guys ass on the spot for them to let us back to his truck to get his insulin, which was behind the seat in a bag. They still wouldn't let us have the truck until the next A.M., even though my co worker needed the truck to get to his sons birthday party. I coulda just shot the tow company guy. Chris

Well we got a new truck
I guess I'm stupid, but I'd rather pay a couple hundred more and deal with an honest, ethical dealer. Wish I knew why the "east side" was cooler. Chris

The Future Of General Motors
Even in a non turbo car, I prefer to get her really good and up to temp before I get on her, and let her cool down before I shut her off. All those years I spent as an SCCA corner worker watching guys warm cars up for several laps and then cool them down kind of burned this into my mind. Chris

Now is a great time to buy a gas guzzler
What is weird is contractors around here are buying these and using them. I still freak every time I see an Escalade full of Hispanics pulling a trailer full of mowers or with a ladder rack. Chris

That would actually be a nice choice. Too bad you sold yours a few months ago. Good luck and post some pics if you buy one... Chris

Sexual Preference
QUOTE(LosAngeles @ Jul 17 2008, 12:16 PM) [snapback]412193[/snapback]A comedian on XM yesterday said Youngstown was where anal sex was invented in 1913. Here in Ohio and in Alabama, having sex with Cows is another real deviation. Nothing about this state suprises me. Chris

Bingo on the Impala convertible thing. I just love those old Firebirds and GTO's. Anyone else see the 59 Caddy parked by the curve in the I dream of jeanie you-tube thing-ama-jig? Chris- lost all wisdom
Wait a few hours. Mine were so impacted I had to be put under when they took mine out. Chris- 2009 Acura TL shows its face
+1. Honda has built some cars with great, clean lines, such as the 1999-2000 Civic Si. This car tries to be too many things at once, without doing any of them well. Chris- Hey PCS
Sadly, I find myself agreeing with you. But make mine a 65 Malibu ragtop rather than an old C/K! Chris - Pop Culture Car Quiz
