It was a convertible, so yeah. If I ever get a classic car, this is the Era I'm gonna go for. I'm a GM fan, even tho right now I'm driving a Ford. But only for it's affordability.

I was never a Ford person until my Step-Dad bought me a Fairmont. I hated that car (I wrecked my first car which I loved) but I COULD NOT kill it. I beat the crap out of that thing and it wouldn't die. So, when I went shopping for a truck (I read the reviews, etc) I quickly narrowed my search to an F150 SCREW.

It sucked for sure, I think it was a mid life crisis thing. He bought a brand new Vette when he sold it. [img]http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1960-1969/1967-Pontiac-GTO-Convert-rd-fa-sy.jpg[/img]

Gt 5 was cool man, but GM made so many off the wall cars that GT 500< anything GM examples (Yenkos 69 SS Camaro,67 Chevelle SS 396, 71 Firebird, 62 1/2 wildcat GS)
This list can go on and on and on.....

Elenor, (I'm not sure how to spell it either) was a pimped out, bad @$$ Mustang. I like them, learned how to drive a stick on a 1990 street racing mustang. But I'll always be a GM guy at heart

Well first of all, all you had to do was write a poem so it can't be that bad, can it.

Second, not knowing anything about you Shake would you really expect me to recommend you to a family member? That's not something I would do. I figured you'd have picked up on the sarcasm in my original comments (about writing the poem).

This is a beauty looks Moorparish...

I heard from the Grapevine and from Tomsky, rumor has it that the government is giving GM back to the public next year mid 1st Quarter...Like Jan 2011 or something giving them back a respectable "New GM." The Gov will completely opt out of them and let the established executives handle the whole company... Then people like me can buy a big chunk of America by investing in the newly established GM.. The only thing is that I won't own enough shares to have any substantial say in the company. The bright side is that I would own enough of the company to say I own part of the "American Revolution."

Nice. I prefer the 1970.


How do you like the 300? We've got a Charger Daytona and I'm pleasantly surprised.

I think that GM has the potential to go far beyond what they are doing...
In fact I think that one day we may see a Hand made GM car...Made by Americans for Americans....

I just hope the quality keep improving, they have made great strides to add more value and better quality the the GM line up. I was tired of hearing people refer to the, Body by Fisher PRICE.

My dad totaled his Chevy Citation back in the days..The whole front end gone...He walked out without a scratch on him...

I really don't understand what the problem is..
1) They got real strong tough durable body's
2) Gm engines are known even by people that don't know a lick about cars and still manage to name off all types of LT's and LS's that were made by GM.

I like the 300, but it's the V6 touring (not the HEMI). It's loaded though..., and I gave it to the ole lady (love my truck).

I LOVE the Charger. How do you like it?

Imports > American

Ford Trucks > GM Trucks

I will admit to having the hots for the all-new Camaro though...

I love it. We have it in Top Banana Yellow, btw. It's not the fast car at my house (2001 Corvette, 96 Collector's Edition Vette (mine, heavily modified), and an 86 Grand National) by it's got good pick-up, is extremely comfortable, and handles [b]far[/b] better than expected. [color="#C0C0C0"]On a dry night, I can take an off ramp at 60.[/color] I like that despite creature comforts, you can still feel the road.

My biggest complaint is a bad pause going from reverse to first, but that may have more to do with being used to my Vette than the car itself.

Oh, and contrary to popular belief, you can smoke the tires. :D

The Challenger is the most old school/New school looking car right now new in the market.
But I smoked a charger with a SS Camaro 09.

Challengers/Chargers are built on the same chassis as the 300, its portly and has too much body roll.
Too bad they are soo darn heavy, they could be formidable for a sports car.

LilyRaven, nice Fleet. Whats done to the CE Vette Lt4, right but besides that.? I had a nasty 87 Vette. of course it didnt start life that way... LOL. TPI, feels fast but really not... All your fun is over before 4800 RPM. hahaha
