And this is an '87 Blazer with a Civic front end, Integra dash and taillights that appear to be off of an RX300.

This is an "under construction" 1992 Isuzu Rodeo.

My thinking on this? Give them all cell phones, make them talk on them every minute they are behind the wheel. Thin the herd out a little bit. Not like they bring much to society anyways. :o :P

Cell phone ban urged for teen drivers Transportation officials say phone use and inexperience on road do not mix when it comes to teens. September 21, 2005: 7:02 AM EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Banning teenagers from using cell phones or other wireless devices while learning to drive should be a national auto safety priority, say U.S. transportation safety officials. The National Transportation Safety Board put the proposed restriction on its "most wanted" list of safety improvements for the upcoming year, which also includes older appeals for more states to impose limits on teens' night driving and carrying of passengers. "Learning to drive and being distracted is a recipe for disaster," Mark Rosenker, the board's acting chairman, said at a hearing on the new safety priorities. "We must do everything we can to reduce these needless deaths and we strongly believe that banning wireless communications devices for teen-agers learning to drive will help significantly," Rosenker said. Highway crashes are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year-olds. From 1995 to 2004, about 64,000 young people were killed in traffic accidents, federal statistics show. More than half the fatalities occurred at night. A survey released by U.S. auto safety regulators earlier this year found that hand-held cell phone use among drivers between 16 and 24 increased to 8 percent in 2004 from 5 percent in 2002 and 3 percent in 2000. At any given moment in the United States last year, an estimated 8 percent of all motorists, or about 1.2 million drivers, were talking on cell phones while driving, the survey found. The figure was 6 percent in 2002 and 4 percent in 2000. University of Utah researchers found last spring that teens and young adults on the phone while in a driving simulator reacted as slowly as elderly drivers not using a phone. The safety board's cell phone recommendation surfaced after a crash in Maryland that killed five people in February 2002. Investigators in that accident said an inexperienced young woman in her new sport utility vehicle ran off the Washington Beltway, flipped and landed on a minivan in the opposite lane. The board concluded that the woman, who was killed, was talking on a cell phone at the time of the accident and was probably distracted. Inexperience, unfamiliarity with the SUV, windy conditions and speeding were other likely causes. Kevin Quinlan, a senior safety board staff member, said elevating the recommended cell phone restriction will give "heightened visibility" to a measure that has achieved some momentum already. Eleven states and the District of Columbia have imposed some limits on wireless technology while driving. Most prohibit cell phone use by drivers who are getting their license. Critics of attempts to restrict the use of wireless devices by motorists contend that only a fraction of crashes blamed on distracted driving are related to cell phones.

I'm not even going to touch that. I had the perfect joke in mind too.

BTW: Alaskan Firedragon is the funniest. Alaskan pipeline is pretty gross.

My guess would be the Chinese ripped off the last-gen Rodeo for styling and the first-gen for platform. Anyone worried about Chinese cars coming here now? I dont think they're going to sell very well, no matter the price, if the driver is going to be crushed to death after rear-ending another car at 6mph.

Hockey, thats like soccer on ice, right?

I may have to change my no divine intervention theory.

Enter any of them into www.urbandictionary.com

Shit happens. Its nature. No "divine intervention" or anything like that, just something that happens when the conditions are just right.

Pretty bad for what appears to be a Rodeo.

Its the Saturn Camaro all right. Standard 2.2L EcoTec, optional 3.6L V6, 6 speed autos on all of em. The cues we see strongly suggest Opel/Saturn. Guess we'll wait and see.

I think it will be interesting to see how many are on their second owners after a year. You know a lot of people are going to buy them without thinking about the fact that they cant carry groceries or golf clubs in it. I'm sure a lot of people are going to buy it intending to use it as a primary car, because it looks good and they cant afford to keep two cars around. Getting tags on two cars every year, two insurance payments, a lot of people cant handle that. And by the time the next gen comes out, how many of those who sell their Solstice after a year or two will be out of their "roadster stage?"

While I appreciate the lovely new sig you have created, couldn't you have used the proper body style? Pre-2003, duh! :P :CG_all:

Think back to the 50's when Ford came out with a 2-seat Thunderbird, then a few years later redesigned it, added a couple of seats and sales took off. Even in sporty cars, some level of utility helps. Not many people can afford to keep a car around that is only good for driving down to McDonalds on Saturday afternoons.

Yeah, but if he has to get on to get off and he cant get on all the time or cant stay on, he wont be able to get off. ***I have to admit, that was one of the most fun posts to write ever. I'm strange.***

The TB EXT is longer than the Tahoe, almost as long as the Suburban if I remember correctly. Thats how.

Is that a Rover? It looks like a Rover. I think its a Rover.

Go to the desktop, hit the "Prt Scr" (print screen) button on the keyboard, its usually above the arrows somewhere. Then go into MS Paint, and hit CTRL+V this should copy it into paint. Save it and upload it. I wont do mine, its nothing special. Just the Red Moon Desert desktop that comes with Windows.

Fly, dont be so hard, the Hydra-Matic are probably the same as the one in your car. :o :P Yeah, ads from 60 years ago do nothing more than confirm that GM has fallen a lot from where they were. And having "Old" in a name really doesn't help any, it is a little better than having "Crap" or "Junk" in a name in terms of what pops into peoples minds when they hear the name.

The vert Balthy posted looks pretty good. The opera coupe looks a bit icky. I'm just going to go on pretending the Eldcamino never existed.

Tru dat. But her band Hole almost had one good song once.

The interior looks great, outside, I still see too much Highlander.
