There was a guy in my neck of the woods that rented a building to keep his collection of Chevys in. They just sat there.

[Marja]

Hey! That's something I didn't know, Blackspear! Nice lookin' wheels!;D
Here's another Shelby special, a Cobra Daytona '65. (Actually testing my computer out, before it goes kerblooey again;D)

[Marja]

I didn't even know he had any thing to do with this car! A Dodge Viper, this one in 1992.

[Marja]

Everyone says these will be the next collectors dream, but, they way they are stacking them up on the freeways, I'm not too sure! They call them Tuner cars, not just the Civic,(who knew?)but, all those little cars ya can juice up and scam out. Cute, huh?

[Marja]

One more for the morning road!!! :D A Teresi-Campos Easy Rider, and no, I don't remember from where, maybe some one here does, probably Italy. (??)

Happy Trails!! :D

[ronjor]

Took a spin in one of these today. Impressive sports car to say the least.

[bigc73542]

Not a bad looking big boy toy ;D ;D

[snowbound]

Wow, Nissan 350Z. 8)

Beautiful car. Out for a test drive?

If so, when do u take delivery Ron? ;) ;D 8)

[ronjor]

Somehow I can't see heading to post office at seventy miles an hour everyday. ;D

I could be wrong! ::) :D

That car is built to go.

[snowbound]

New Trojan Horse def. ;) ;D

[ronjor]

I love drag racing. In particular, the funny cars. The guys that drive those are daredevils. Same engine the fuel dragsters use. And the engine is in front of the driver! Short wheelbase too.

So do i Ron. ;D

Thankfully, i live close enough to a small town called Hagersville, where most of the top fuellers visit every summer. It's a treat to go out once or twice, each year and see the action. 8)

Hey BigC, I see you like that new Bugatti too. I used it for the longest time as the picture on my MSN Messenger. Could you spare 1.3 million for me to buy one??

Review of Ford GT. CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2005/AUTOS/carreviews/07/11/ford_gt/index.html)

[Marja]

YEAH, I WOULD DRIVE IT TO NY FOR FREE TOO!

IT LOOKS COOL, BUT NOT $200,000 COOL, AND KINDA BARE INSIDE FOR THAT!

I GIVE IT AN '8'. ;D (IN A SOLID COLOR)

[Marja]

HOW TIMES CHANGE, LOOK AT THIS BOAT! LOL! ('57 MERCURY)

[Marja]

VERY TUFF!

If you are a multimillionaire, that's pocket change. I'm pretty sure Ford isn't aiming for Fred's Friendly Finance customers. (Jay Leno maybe?) :D

[Marja]

SO, THIS IS LIKE THE WAL-MART'S OF MILLIONAIRES? LOL!

I'd like to see the Merc guy do something with this Hupmobile.....you could do something with this!

[ronjor]

Don't know what it is--------

http://www.darrylstarbird.com/images/cars/starbird-1.jpg

[Marja]

I always wanted something like this to get thru traffic!

Looks practical to me, course then everyone else would want one.......hey! they should put them on emergency vehicles.......only! That would be helpful on 'freeways'!?

[ronjor]

http://www.ftlcomm.com/ensign/trucks/pickup/custom/customtruck.jpg

[Marja]

I don't think IT knows what it is either!?!?

It looks like the backend of a 50's car with the front end of a '70s!?!?

Maybe it's a figment of someone's imagination?!?

This 1958 Honeymoon Express SilverCloud Rolls doesn't quite fit together either..........?? Looks like they tried to put the whole marriage in the Honeymoon! LOL!

[Marja]

you just love those pick-em ups, huh? Think I have a new one, for ya!

[Marja]

BUT FIRST!! THIS SWEET CAR IS IN ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVE COLORS.........

[Marja]

This is another weird car, called the Dale (1974), that's all I know about it!

[Marja]

Looks like a three wheeler but ........too strange...you could poke a hole in someone's trunk! lol!

[Marja]

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the single tire in FRONT???

[ronjor]

No high spots in the road please.

[Detox]

Lots of three whee cars and other tiny tyransportation at the microcar museum! (http://www.microcarmuseum.com/index.html) I never finished the virtual tour but I spent too much time there already earlier today talking about Messerschmitt cars earlier today. I think it makes more sense to have the single wheel in the back - if you have the single in the front its the wheel that steers and you will have more problems with tipping.

[ronjor]

http://images.pyrospheric.net/albums/backtothefifties05/DSC03288.sized.jpg

[Marja]

OH! OK! I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THANKS, DETOX!

HAVE TO TAKE THAT TOUR! :)

Never thought i'd see the day the big 3 would have to play catch up to the imports. As the article in the link says it's gonna get a whole lot more competitve once the Chinese get into the game internationally.

http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2004-06-01-chinacars_x.htm

This time, Shelburg has partnered with Chinese automakers Great Wall Automobile Holding, China Zhejiang Geely Group and Hebei Zhongxing Automobile Manufacturing.

He wants to sell subcompact sedans called Solo and Merrie, compact pickups called Sailor and Deer and compact SUVs called Safe and Sing. All are currently built and sold in China.

Their appeal is price. They sell for $9,000 to $15,000.
