Thanks to all of you here in the U.S. - you'll soon be paying for the warranty on my new HHR. Just wanted you to know that I really appreciate it.

Good for you!! I believe in a Jeffersonian style govt. Less is better.Govt. doesn't seem to run it's business as though it's a business. ... off my soapbox.

I already bought that car... forty years ago!

LOL! That reminds me of the 1977 Chrysler Cordova my parents had. It spent more time in the shop than on the road.

My first ride was a '63 Falcon. The nice thing about it was that it kept a teenager off the road.

first car I "modified" was a 61 Sunbeam alpine. heard they put v-8's in em and I was hooked. put a 302 out of a Torino in it. Then realized I had to mock up a jig for the front crossmember and change it to rack 'n' pinion. tigers had duel 5.5 gal tanks in the fenders.my 61 had an 11 gal. main tank so I put a crossover pipe to it so it had 22 gallons and a lil more traction .Belonged to CAT for a while and I put louvers in the front fenders tied into an air dam which cooled it and looked cool.put a narrowed 8" ford rear end in. spent way too much money but the thing was a bat outta hell. Gotta look for pics as I am disorganised.Had a good trip to Illinois and won the boy scout class with my bud Lou in his TVR? Griffith he found in a barn.back in 82. We needed ID #s so i made them out of contact paper. he was an engineer at 3_M and told me I had something there. If only I had come up with a plotter??? Posted by Barry Branscum (Member # 445) on :

maybe the govt. could build a successful car...or maybe they couldn't...but they sure can train snipers.

I'm not gonna get started guys, let's just say that I spent my afternoon yesterday at a "Tea Party" get the drift?

Had the original Tiger, eh, Darcy? Those were cool little cars. Tight fit for the engine; friend of mine had one. You had to remove a 'plug' in the firewall area, above the gas pedal, to change the rear spark plugs on the driver side. Ahh, the fun of sports cars.
I wonder if the gov'mint will buy me a couple of those, and maybe a Cobra, a 427 Vette, and......

Careful Dale...you're precariously close to censorship.
Posted by David Harding (Member # 108) on :
60+ miles was about the maximum range of the Falcon per day between breakdowns.
Posted by Dale Feicke (Member # 767) on :
Censor me if you want; just keep those big checks a'comin'.....

Uh Oh! Dale....now you are in trouble:

Ms. Napoleon-tano, you are a certified whack-job.

Why does Janet Napolitano look like she was a former Russian Swimmer?!!
Is it possible that 'Janet' was once 'Ivan Napolitano?'
Better make sure that politicians are tested for steroids from now on...

Funny, I though Napolitano look a lot more like the mom in those old Ragu spaghetti commercials.

Darcy..my bother-in-law had a Sunbeam Tiger.
I have driven and ridden in many high speed vehicles.
That TIGER was the scariest and fastest vehicle I have driven!!!!
Wish I had one right now!!!
