Yeah, us here in Bama too. Rats from a sinking union factory fled to Honda in droves when they came to town. Same for Hyundai and Kia across the river in GA.

There are a few restored AMC's in the Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, MI. One was sent down the LeCar line under Renault ownership to restore it. I think it was a '69 AMX, but don't hold me to it.

Aerodynamics and gearing are the two biggest differences in your comparison. The LS1 in a 6-speed Z28 would deliver 25+ mpg at 70 on the highway, while the LT1 in my auto truck manages 18. Same axle ratio, but his 6th gear let that engine spin at 1500 rpm while mine turns 2200 at the same road speed.

IMHO, a 1/2 ton diesel would be a huge advantage for Nissan, especially if they can bring it to market quickly. Yes, Diesel is more expensive than gasoline, but that cost could be offset with biodiesel setup in a home garage or shed. This will be also more of a niche market due to increased cost over the gas…

This thing wakes up and pisses tiger blood! NP all the way!

he must like mustard on his biscuits and just got out of the nervous hospital...

Ahh, the Boss Hogg starter kit. This car is for people that light their cigars off of $5 bills while the Dukes deliver their rotgut in an orange Chrysler Sapporo. CP

I have to think this ad might be directed to somebody in the Caddy community which would appreciate the work done to it and justify the price some. But really, how much fun is it to buy somebody else's baby? BTW, older Nissan/Datsun's were available with a diesel as well and make much more sense for hauling duties. …

The dreaded Oldsmo-Buick by a mile. A perfect car for the Vice-Principal in all of us. I am convinced hell has a mile long row of shiny new ones at the gates.

@DeadBuick: There are no pep boys in Alabama. That would be too high class..

@Dirt Pirate: I work on Italian machinery for a living and wholeheartedly agree. They seem to have no problem with putting electrical components underneath leaky chemical tanks either.

@lilwillie: I have one. There is a reason they have a higher resale value than any other full-size.

2006 Ford E-150 Cargo. I had one for a fleet vehicle that I turned in at 175k hard miles. I say hard because it never had less than 2000lbs of cargo on it at any given time. It went up mountains, in 105 degree heat, 10" of snow, or a landfalling tropical storm. It never failed to start. It made it 80k before…

As one who really can't keep my mouth shut when it comes to car conversations, I would have to say it comes down to the choice of dream car with a followup question of why it is their choice after revelation of my own (1971 365GTB/4 Daytona, btw). Since the first question can be stereotypical, the second one allows…

"If you can read this, my snipers can drop you" next to the eagle, globe, and anchor on the back of an F150. Needless to say, you don't cut this guy off.

'66 Chevy fire engine red C-10 with a built 327 and a 3 on the tree. 1 of 2 I wish dad would have kept. There will always be a soft spot in my heart for that bodystyle chevy.

This post summed up my feelings after visiting the RenCen a couple of years ago, especially the part about the bleak river. I went on a Saturday and was expecting a busier atmosphere, but was sadly disappointed. So much, that after waiting a while to take the tour, I decided not to and left just to get out of there.…
