There is not a car out there that makes me drool. As far as I'm concerned, the whole industry holds no interest to me.

Poor Chuckie. You don't know what you are missing.

Charles, I love cars (Just not Chevys). A Bentley wouldn't hurt but I love what I drive now. Thanks for the kind words .

Ha. I own a 3rd gen Camaro... must be the trailer in me but I prefer T-Tops over convertibles any day. Plan on getting a 2nd gen as well.

I had an '95 Impala SS. Four door Vette. Sold it a couple of years later. I still like a C5 or C6 Z06. Fantastic bang for the buck.

I am definitely a Chevy Man. I don't really dig their cars though. I am a Truck (Silverado) / SUV (Tahoe) guy - I love the room and the ability to haul stuff around in them as a home owner. Don't care for GMC much either... GMC= (Generic Made Chevrolet). :-) j/k.

I have owned/driven a ridiculous number of vehicles.


I once lucked into a period of time when I had 4 different Vettes (C4s) in 6 months. Lots of fun; even through the winter; well other than the ice storm.



My two faves were the bright yellow one and the one that was a deep metallic purple; in bright sunlight it looked like grape crush. My black Lab got used to snuggling onto the rear shelf for car rides.


At one time there was a race series that used showroom stock Camaros (Players Challenge). I had one of those for a bit on the street. It was a bit scary. All of the grip was in the tires; lose it and you were in the weeds with no suspension to help you.



My favorite Chevy was my 1970 Monte Carlo. It came from the factory with a 350/300 HP. After a bit of work I had it over 350 HP. The 1970 MC was built on the full size Chevy chassis, so it could put the power down and GO. Used to PO a friend of mine who had a 1968 Camaro SS; my MC would beat him every time!

Friends have a '89 Camaro 1LE package (very rare).

Yes PJ they are fun to drive. And like some others I have my GMC SUV that gets most of the use but I do have a sweet little 65 Vette that I picked up a few years back that seldom gets driven.

[Sisyphus]

I've never owned one...I haven't seen one that works for me since the purchase decision has been mine to make.

I gotta say though...the old man had a '71 Malibu coupe....aqua w/white leather interior. That was one SWEET ride!!

LOL...right up the part where my older brother totaled it. Don't think I'd seen Pop cry before...or since!

[WTF]

We're talking about cars here not some old chick you met at a nursing home with a funny name. . .
