well, I tried 4 different sources, and none of them are letting me share a photo, so here's one of mine:

@Novaload: No, they did a GTO, in 1974. I wrote about it in my Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot series, but a malicious attack at the CarDomain sight left the posting without the correct images. So here's one:
@ObligatoryChickCommenter: I am alone at saying Carter was a really nice President, but nice guys usually finish last, when it comes to politics. I now see that you have to have assholes like Tom Delay, or Dick Cheney to get ahead in politics, stepping on the great unwashed to get ahead and push your agenda, no matter…
@scottcom36 has Weekday DT's, Weekend OD's: One of the worst speaches in history. Gorbachev had next to nothing to do with the wall because it was a part of East Germany at that time. It's like saying we have influence over Mexico and Canada (and the last time I looked, they are laughing as hard as the Europeans at…
Unless you lived through the 80's, and you were never a fan of Ronald Regan (only the second worst president ever behind "W") then of course this car wouldn't have any meaning to you. While I remember the Live Aid concerts, and I remember most of the bands that played there (and now just a distant memory) This car…
I am going to defend this rolling art car. But I have to ask, when defending modern art, why do you people find it necessary to call the defender a commie pinko, a liberal socialist, a smelly hippy, or all of the above.
Yes yes yes, this is all well and good. However, I really loved my lead image over at [REDACTED]. If you want to see others, including a very lovely bitch, then go here.
@UDMan: and by this year, I meant last year. Now where the hell is my coffee....
This was at SEMA this year. Background information here.
@punksmurph: As one of those "Journalists" I had a posting on this very Elan up by 1:30 Eastern. Ahhh, but Sam didn't post its companion, the Morgan. Read about them both here.
Earliest car I remember riding in was my old mans 1954 Chevrolet 210 Coupe. Similar to the car pictures, except it was blue.
Shhhh, don't tell my editor over at Chevy Enthusiast, but thanks to Murilee, I have my next column. And here's a preview:
I had the distinct pleasure to meet Mr. Wert at SEMA, and in all reality, I would never want his job. The pressure of producing one of the leading blogs, balancing content with budgetary constraints, and keeping on top of all the "worthwhile" news items is daunting. Doing so in a down economy is almost impossible.…
I remember driving this the LeSabres Corporate Cousin in 1984, an Oldsmobile Delta 88, while my VW Jetta was in the body shop getting repaired. It was huge, it was vast, it was heavy, and it was floaty. The doors are so long, that you could not park in a regular parking space next to another car. They could amputate…
@if'n: Since you mentioned Mr. Lutz, let me relate a story about Maximum Bob during the launch of the Buick Terraza (Remember that thing? It was basically a new nose on an existing Venture Minivan!). One of the reporters was questioning the motive for pricing the Buick version far above the others (They were exactly…
They used to have a Suzuki Liana (Our Suzuki Aerio) before the Lacetti, so I think it would be another car from the East again. My guess would be either a Hyundai (something like our version of the Accent), a Kia (our version of the Rio), or another Daewoo (Our version of the Aveo).
Well, it's time to get up on my soapbox again. The person who owned this obviously didn't have the means, or didn't have the patience to keep this car running properly. When given the chance to unload it for at least $3,500 or $4,500 without going through the aggravation of selling it on Craigslist of Ebay, the…
Believe it or not, Chrysler had a hand in the distribution of the 164. Read about it at Automotive Traveler, of which I am a columnist. It's a fascinating read, as well as the other Italianate Diversions Chrysler underwent.
I remember these cars vary fondly. While I never owned one, the Company I worked for at that time did. It was a very basic 1981 Dodge Aries, with the 2.2, Automatic, and A/C. It was always stored outside, and it was used as the company runner. It always started, did its primary job well, and never broke down. It…
