Don't know if anybody else cares, but Pontiac may be killing off the the Bonnevile, the oldest continuously produced name plate in the world. Yes the Vette is older, but they skipped a few years here and there. The Bonneville has been in production at all times since it was introduced as an option package in 1956.
GM is moving in a generally good direction, especially Cadillac, but along the way, they have made a few stunningly BAD decisions. The death of Oldsmobile, the demise of the F-body, and that pig they call the SSR.
Damn, it's been a while. Unfortunatley I put my cards in storage in my parents basement and they got flooded. I had a Life/life drain/discard cycle deck that lost once in almost thirty games.
Wheel of Pain and Bottomless Pit combos pwn3d j00!
Ain't as bad as what I saw the other day.
A Hyundai.
Sonata.
With graphics.
Tinted windows.
And a T-tail wing.

Car thieves should be anal-raped with a rusty garden rake.
My second car was a 90 Taurus, total stripper. Some fuck-butt busted ALL my windows because after taking the time to slim-jim the lock, there wasn't anything in the car worth stealing.
I catch someone going in my car, they don't ever turn up.
Dam, mang, im laghint so hard, I cant tyep strgiaht! Where de fuck did dat chit come from?
Aaaannnnnyyyy-way!
How 'bout:
Spuz-gargler, rump-ranger, fudge-packer, brown-eye-opthalmologist, cock-biter, fairy, faggot, mincer, limp-wrist, urinal-substiute, brown-bagger, tea-bagger, Preparation H taste-tester, lube-n-lick, load-handler, weasle-wrangler, fly-diver, etc...
Good job, man! Did the right thing. graemlins/thumb.gif
Unfortunately, it seems like the Regal/Monte body is real popular with the "gangsta" set, just like the Civics are with the ricers(not dissing Civics, just ricers.). Probably a lot of ballers out there riding stolen GN/T-Type motors.
That kid better take DAMN good care of that car.
Hope he deserves it.
I was considering this as a project just last week, and there are a few changes you'll have to make to the L67 to get it to fit.
1) The M90 blower on the L67 won't fit, the TB goes towards the trans and there's not enough clearance to the fire wall for the intake, so you'll have to use the L67 long-block, the regular 3800 upper and lower intake manifold, and a centrifugal blower.
2) Not sure whether the exhaust manifold from the NA motor flows enough for the L67, and I know the manifold from the W-body won't fit the F-body, so headers are mandatory.
3) You'll have to find a way to fit the boost controller on the intake.
4)Engine mounts are a straight swap, but you'll have to get heavier mount bushings to take the torque of the L67.
5)You'll probably want to switch you rear end out as well, for gearing as well as the rear disc-brake setup.
If you have the stick, keep it. If you have the auto and can get your hands on a 6spd, grab it.
I personally think it unfair that these cars never got the L67. It would have tave taken it from an under-powered grocery-getter to a real sports car.
As for the GN 3.8, yeah they're stronger, but if we ever get E-check in Central Ohio, he'd be screwed. But if you want an F-body with the early 80s 3.8 they offer them for awhile. Good luck finding one though.
Mandatory crush laws are slowly being beaten back by enthusiast groups. Several states now have exceptions for vehicles old enough to have historical plates, that are in good shape. However the owner still forfeits the car.
We finally came back on yesterday. We're just outside Pataskala, and the town looked like a tornado hit it. We moved my Great-Aunt in for the night of the 23rd and her power came on the next day.
AEP brought some kind of little snow-cat type thing to get back in the fields where the trucks couldn't go.
Judging by the number of lines I saw down in Pataskala, there must have been THOUSANDS of broken lines around the state.
Let's not miss that the Vanquish has a European plate mount on the front, and it's never had plates on it. The picture was taken pre-shipment. In England. Looks like London.
$7000=716hp?
If he drives like he lies, he's the one who blew the stop sign while "racing" someone(probably some civilian who watched the idiot peel out like a newb).
