    Keep the top white, but look up the PPG color for the MOPAR color Plum Crazy. And make sure you replace the tires with appropriate Wide Whitewalls, or you could go all out and just have those portable whitewall thingys they used to have. That would be the height of taste! (Hey, I didn't say good taste, did I?)

    Holy Mother of God, what a list of contenders. Let's just gloss over the BMW's (which are pretty boring, and should all get at least 20 penalty laps), and the Mazda Miatas (Same 20 lap penalty), and the other boring cars like the Hondas, and other such everyday crapitude, and concentrate of the rest of the real…

    @DarthLefty: You know why? Because the silver, gray, gunmetal has been done to death. In 1981 I had a Gold and Dark Brown 2 tone car, and it looked great. Yes, I once owned a Silver Gray car, and that was my last one. I miss having the choice of 17 colors on cars.

    Cyber Gray, Silver Gray, Medium Gray, Black, White. All of these are not colors, they are all shades of crap. I know you can get a Camaro in Red, and maybe Orange, and Yellow, but how about a nice shade of Blue, a Green maybe, how about something in Tan/Brown/Sandstone, or Oxblood/Maroon/Ruby, or…

    Well, that was 12 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

    Matt, how much did the studio that was hawking this crap pay Gawker last year? It was non stop Death Race promotion on the old Jalop for a few weeks. I know you weren't alone, as even Matt on Garage 419 did a 15 second commercial on that show. But it was crap, always was crap, always will be crap. It's crap that the…

    @Mad_Science: If a tier 1 supplier (face it, it's not just going to be one, but several), Ford doesn't have enough capital to purchase any of them right now. Visteon hasn't gone into chapter 11 yet, so Ford has some breathing room. Delphi on the other hand has been in bankruptcy for the last couple of years. I'm…

    There are going to be an awful lot of losers in this scenario. And who might they be? A list please:

    Well, am I the only one thinking that it would make a pretty good LeMons car??? I can't be the only one... come-on, you know it would be awesome!

    It's good to see the Consumer Reports track on Video again. the most unfortunate thing that happened when CU needed property for a test facility is the fact that they bought the old Connecticut Dragway. Yes, CU purchased an old Drag Strip to test cars.... how ironic.

    Do you really have to ask?

    There are a few dealers that bought some of these cars at the auction that are trying to sell them to customers. Case in point, this Aztek:

    I've been running around on the floor of the NY Auto Show, and I have to agree with the commentariant, it's a whole lotta Meh. This being my first time here, I was in awe at first, all the displays, all the pretty cars, all the beautiful press corps (well, that was just a bit too creepy, but you catch mt drift).

    The Reuters article hinted at a Chinese Buyer. Let's see, the Chinese are interested in buying Hummer, SAAB, possibly Saturn, and they currently have at least 15 other car makers. So on top of supplying all of our toys, clothing, and appliances, they will be supplying our cars.

    Well, this entire post is an utter mystery to me. Jenson Button drives in F1. Uh, who is Jenson Button anyway (as I rarely follow F1)? Second, Jenson seems to have a girlfriend named Jessica Michibata. I think she's suppose to be a celebrity of some sort, or maybe a model, am I right? I have heard of the White…

    As luck would have it, I'm actually going to be in NYC that evening. So Ray, Scott Monte is going to be there. Didn't you two have some sort of disagreement or something? Inquiring minds want to know.....

    @CorporateFelon: There are three other bus lines from Boston to NYC. Lucky Star (basically Fung Wah, with a different name) Bolt Bus ([www.boltbus.com]) and Mega Bus ([www.megabus.com]). I pass all of them almost daily in my travels throughout NE and NY. Sometimes they are passing ME!
