A '76 Olds Custom Cruiser that I dropped a high compression 455 in to obliterate punk kids in tuner cars.

This street legal rocket will beat that.

Stock acceleration is 0-60... in 2.9 seconds.

And it eats up turns like a ravenous Bugblatter beast.

Sweet!  We used to have a Custom Cruiser back in the day with the rear facing third seat.

@Oceander @Frank Cannon

We had a 70 or 71 that has the read facing seat.

'70 yes, unless it was a Vista Cruiser or a Sportwagon. In '71 all GM's were front facing except for Pontiac and Chevy intermediates.

SERIOUSLY.  Color me shocked.  I can't imagine anyone more unlikeable than the Beast, including the Donald.  Just her voice alone makes me want to hide. :shrug:

Every time I see the Donald on TV flailing his arms around and pursing his nasty little mouth, I am sick.  I have reason to despise Hillary but she does not have the same visceral effect on me when I see her.

I know she is a horrible corrupt person...know that full well, which makes it really weird that I would prefer her over anyone else in the known universe.

I almost killed a guy with a bench seat. Pledged them up that day to get a good shine. Later diving around I started driving erratically for fun and my drunk buddy slid towards me and then slid out the damn door. Luckily he was drunk because he just got a little scraped up.

What was so unlikable about Romney?  The guy was as vanilla as it gets.

I didn't dislike Romney at all but he was not effective in the debates against Obama.

Obama had a total lock on the Black vote along with the liberal vote which made him hard to beat.

The premise is true, Carter did not aid the rise of the worse terrorist organization since World War II, ISIS nor give the largest terrorist sponsor in the world, billions of dollars while aiding their nuclear capabilities.

Real sharp observation, 2016 is not 1980.

Carter sat by passively while our embassy was held hostage by a foreign nation.

   I bet you do, @Frank Cannon



I walk by this guy's house every day who has a huge ancient cadillac in his driveway covered in tarp.  What he plans to do with it, I have no idea.  But then, my husband insisted on keeping his Grand Marquis as a pet after we got another car ... he loved it so much.

Yes. He was the first Presidential candidates endorsed by a cartoonist.

Vanity - This is not 1980

Really? You mean I can't go down the Pontiac dealer and *order a new Bonneville?



(*For those who don't know, you used to have to order your car and wait a month for it to be built.)

I miss my Pontiacs. I am looking for a Bonneville right now. Always partial to Chevelle for my ride (or the pickup, of course), but the family sedan was always, always a Catalina or a Bonneville.

I will find one more. One_Last_time... Already have a Pontiac 428 Interceptor sitting in a shed...
Go through it and restore it all the way, but with overdrive, aftermarket to upgrade steering and brakes...
And I'll keep this one till I die.

That was SO awesome! You could barf all over the back window, and not even have to turn around.

LOL. You bet'cha. The brochure says the diesel will save me a lot of money on fuel because it will self destruct at 40K miles and I will have to walk.

Good thing I didn't give up my day job, lol.

Thanks to all that kept the thread going.

I'm off to the Alamodome for the Texas Marching Band finals. I was sweating it, but our school (Coppell) is one of the 12 finalists.

No, it better since the GOP controls the WH, the Senate and the US House. The GOP, via Trump will control the appointment of the next SC Justice.


But I know, today is for venting, crying and raging not thinking.
