Maybe we can go back to the good ollll days just for a year???? then everyone who insesently complains can decide if the good oll days are really that good after all?

I have to say I wish Govt Motors would go back to building the 67 Camaro SS. but thats about as far as the good old days go for me. How about the good new days. Things change and its best to change with them. Maybe we should just go back to the good old days where we race our covered wagons and we are chaced by engines.


But Kyle, cheating was so much easier then! Heck, I knew a certain front running blue 1.6 SM (from the Indianapolis area) that sported a totally stock appearing exhause manifold / downpipe that was in fact custom fabricated to be 20% larger in diameter. He ran if for several years in that trim and never got caught.

Did he ever actually get caught or did he just lock it up in the trailer :)

I agree completely, I was just busting Pats chops and wasn't meant at Denny, caught in crossfire. I agree with Mark, Denny is way different in person then on here.


Hey, what about me :huh:

I wish for every time someone said "Government Motors", that someone else would refer to every Japanese, German, or Italian manufacturer as "Axis Power Losers of World War II Motors" ... or, if you feel like 65 years ago is too long ago to compare to today, then at least make sure you refer to your bank as "Government Bank" and your insurance company as "Government Insurance".

I don't love my government, but you know what? ... I love it more than I love anyone else's government :) :) :)

Disclaimer: No affiliation with GM, no GM cars in the garage, but I appreciate their contributions to this country and its economy more than the banking and insurance industries, and I am rooting for them to succeed and excel against their competition from across the pond :)
