Nice. I'm sending my brother that link.

Not in the same league, but my brother recently scored a '69 Cutlass convertible with 95k on it from an older couple in his neighborhood. It had been sitting in their garage for something like 16 years. They're still out there if you keep your eyes open.

I dated a girl in college who had one of these with a stick. (Did they even put slushboxes in them?) It always amazed me that she could drive it while simultaneously working on a Big Gulp and a cigarette and never spill a drop or ash in the car. I only drove it a couple times, but it was AWESOME. So what if it…

i dunno which of his cars was more badass... the Mercedes or the Riviera.

I'm from Huntington; I went to Stony Brook too. Graduated in '91, though, so Pep Boys wasn't there yet. I still go visit family out there. My brother just picked up an old Cutlass convertible and has been talking about hitting Pep Boys for little stuff; I gotta warn him about your experience so he doesn't have…

Should I be ashamed or proud to admit that I own the DVD?

AUGH. Almost as bad as Eleanor airborne over the ambulance with all her wheels tucked up neatly into their wheelwells...

Oy. Now I have the theme song in my head.

I think I'm gonna make an MP3 of that and play it while I drive... my DD is an Altima.

I had an '85 Celebrity wagon in college. This was 1988, and I bought it from a neighbor who had used it as a work vehicle and racked up something like 100k in 4 years. I actually really liked that car. The 2.8 wasn't too bad. It handled okay. Then Dad got a '90 wagon as a company car and it just seemed to rattle…

I sold a car on eBay the same way. Got a bunch of messages from folks who were impressed with my honesty, and had a guy come from 3 states away with a trailer to get a car that he knew had a bad transmission and a bunch of other nickel-and-dime problems. He knew exactly what he was getting into from the listing,…

I had a '70 with a 400 small block, bucket seats and floor shifter, power windows and locks, and yes, a factory fiber optic light monitoring system. People swore to me that it had to be added aftermarket till I got my hands on an original brochure and showed it to them on the Options page. For me, that car is The One…

For me, this gets a slight edge over the Toronado, but it's REAL close...

This is one of my favorites

yeah, the narrator is annoying as hell. but it's worth putting up with for the shot at 8:20 when he's rolling along at maybe 30-40 mph with the camera car following... and he stomps it and just paints twin dark black stripes on the road... wow.

Hahahaha. Ok, then, I guess he's not implying that just any sap with a checkbook could go buy one. That's what I was wondering.

So what exactly does this mean?

different streaks for different freaks, I guess... I think the first-gen Rivieras are beautiful cars.

Um, that's a 1963 model in the picture.

This, my friends, is a Riviera.
