There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

1957 Chevy sedan: Hand me down from the folks. Ran like champ,...started up even in sub freezing weather. Had Earl Schieb paint it navy blue for 30 bucks. Tossed on some 'baby moons.' Didn't have the money to get the chrome re-done,....Ace aluminum paint did the job!
1968 Chevy sedan: Another hand me down from the folks. Ran like a champ too but didn't have the character of the '57.
1972 Chevy Nova: First 'new' car. Had a 350 in it. Lousy on the turns but ran like a bat out of h*** on the straights. Wish I had bought the additional power steering package for it. However,...it helped build Poyeye forearms for me. Had a small gas tank. Seemed like I was pulling into a gas station all the time. No matter,...gas was CHEAP back then.
1978 Honda Accord hatchback: Great little car. Did a lot of hauling with it since you were able to drop forward and down the rear seats.
1986 Pontiac 6000 SE: Decent car. Had no love for it though. Realized I should have bought a SUV after buying this sedan.
1997 Chevy Blazer: Great vehicle. Never let me down. Like most of my cars,...only needed to replace the wear and tear items. Running like a champ until I traded it in in 2007. Just got tired of it. Still see a lot on the road today.
2008 Subaru Triebca: Current car. Bought it in Sept. of '07. About the same size as the Blazer with some new features. Hope it holds up as well as the 97' Blazer did for me.
As most of know,...changing the oil every 3,000 miles makes a big difference in the longevity of any vehicle.

1997..Mitshubishi eclipse spider,new.stolen 1998, found the carcass on a ditch, covered by insurance.never really liked but the girls loved the look of it, chick magnet..at least back in the 90´s.
1998 Ford Mustang 1997, bought it with insurance money and had to fork the difference, dunno how many Mustang lovers are here, but the 1997 model must have been the absolute WORST mustang ever produced, low quality plastics, and it drove like a 1979 Chevy Malibu, traded it for a 1999 Mitsubishi Montero 3 doors.
2000 Ford Explorer traded for a
2005 Ford Explorer traded for a
2008 Ford Explorer, totaled when t-boned by some drunk guy in a Chevy Silverado, walked out with some minor injuries..still waiting for the insurance to cover this, meanwhile using my wife´s car.
