No, guys, honestly - I definitely want a convertible! You definitely live in a State that has the weather for it. Remember - I drive one in northern Germany!, ;-) Nothing beats the extra legroom... O:-) |

O:-) I do see people around here driving with their tops down(their cars) in 30 and 40 degree weather. I've sat in one of those Smart cars, I felt claustrophobic haha too small. |

Many of my friends say "It's a rucksack car - you get into other cars, this one you just strap to your back!"
I know they are right; I wouldn't drive it if I was any taller (or wider  ), but it fits me like a glove... Has something of riding a go cart! Riding it is fun, you don't have to worry about rain on the autobahn, just look for a convenient trailer truck and drive under the trailer... If only the dachshunds weren't staring so cute at me through my side windows every time I stop at a red light... Okay, are we finished with Smart jokes now!? ;-) No, there are no Smart jokes - they are all true... Can we get back to cars now????

Okay, if you like the smart, and you definitely want a drop top,
have you thought of a Honda S 2000? Stylish, fast, fun, fits like kid gloves, room in the boot for your golf clubs, and if I may say so, ( cause I drive one), looks sexy as hell. |

I have a 69 SS 396 Chevelle I have had since 75. I am always tinkerin with it. still got the 73 Ironhead sportster I bought in 74. Got a 99 Superglide drag bike. I do have a 2010 Ultra Classic which is FE. Love the ride but hate workin on it. Cost me 3500 just to read codes. Another 4500 for software to do mods. That Chevelle is a keeper! A FEW of the ones I have in my line-up right now.... '69 Camaro that I bought in '92 from the original (woman) owner. '70 Chevelle that I got in '96 from the original owner. '73 Monte that I bought around '95 (I just recently declared it DOA and retired it). '74 Corvette that I bought in '94. '81 Camaro that I bought in '90 (kinda hanging in limbo now after totaling it for the 3rd or 4th time). '75 BMW 530i that I bought in '99. '79 Camaro that I bought around '95 (I'm now in the process of a complete frame-off with TONS of one-off mods). '83 Firebird SE with some T/A goodies that I got in '93 and hopefully this summer will get around to transplanting around 350 horse into it. I had to let this one go years ago, but my favorite of the 80 or so cars I've owned was a '64 1/2 Stang.  The Sporty, well, at least it should keep your driveway sealed. A few of my 2-wheeled toys... '70 HD Rapido (just cause it's neato) '70 CB750 that I've had FOREVER and has more bells and whistles than a Caddy (including a sidecar). '79 XS650 that I got from the original owner and is my regular rider (plans to bump it up to 750 when time allows) Yeah, those new cruisers have a nice ride (they better for the price!), but working on 'em sure ain't the same as they used to be..... Quite a collection Bro..... Nope you're right.....new bikes, new cars.....It aint Old School. The Chevelle is easy. My truck is a pain to work on!! |

Do you still have points in the Chevelle or did you change it over to HEI? |

O:-) I do see people around here driving with their tops down(their cars) in 30 and 40 degree weather. That's not much different than me having the t-tops off of my Vette in just about any weather other than rain. Hey, what's the use of having it if you don't use it?

I was thinking maybe I'd post one.... But she damn fussy about her cars Here's an S3000 Honda (if she calls me old AGAIN, I'm blaming you man)

No maintenance, stronger spark, piece of cake to do and donor dizzys are a dime a dozen, so why not? The only 2 I haven't swapped over is my Chevelle (only cause I haven't gotten around to it) and my Vette, but that's just cause it has a mechanical tach that goes into the dist. Oh, and those factory chrome covers are pretty.  The factory rallys look pretty good on 'em (and are getting pretty pricey nowadays!). IMO, a lot better looking than the non-SS style. Those look good on the Vettes and Camaros though. I always liked the Cragers on pretty much everything, but I think I'd use the stocks for shows considering the rest of the car is original. |

Okay, if you're dead set on an old classic so you can do the Thelma and Louise thing, get yourself a copy of
"Hemmings motor news". Lots of ads for old stuff in there. couple of words of warning though; When some guys restore a car they go through every nut bolt and cog, and make sure everything is right and true. Some other guys will slap on some body filler and paint and call it "fully" restored. If your not fully knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of old Stangs you could very easily end up buying yourself a money pit. Buy from someone with a good reputation that you can trust. And BTW Thelma and Louise did not drive a Mustang, it was a T-Bird. |

I can still get everything I need. Wheels depend on what show I'm goin to. Collector shows it goes stock. Hotrod shows it goes in Cragers. Unfortunatly changing Ignition or dist would alter the motor By #. Funny how internal motor work dont seem to be considered altered. It seems to be judged on appearance rather than performance. |
