:nopics: Might I suggest reading the stickies for instructions on intro threads? It will end sooooo much better if you do.

Welcome to CR. I'm a bit "different," I'm told. I have a Toyota Century just like this one ... http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/centuryroyal.jpg except mine doesn't have the little red flag or the Emperor of Japan in the back seat ...

I would be thrilled just to hear it run at all ...

maybe a mod can move this over to the corral .... get more views that way Good luck with the sale

It's looking pretty mean, there, Jim. I look forward to seeing you and the family at the spring track day.

If you don't remove the salt spray first, the paint won't stick

Welcome to CR, Steve. I'm not sure you'll find many members here with AE86 cars, but there are a few fans of the Japanese nostalgics. I'm not sure what anyone sees in these old Japanese cars (that even the Japanese don't like anymore), but to each his own. Hope to see you at some meets in the spring. + rep

I understand, Hal. I can't imagine that life is easy being your little bitch and having to give you unconditional affection. But, little doggie, no matter how bad the abuse, there's always hope .... just don't give up hope.

Hal, do you figure your dog's overdose was just a "cry for help," or do you think it just doesn't want to go on living with you?

I think CR's about due for another Sushi raid--this time at Yoshi's. Suggested days/times?

Welcome, Max. Sharp car, good intro. I hope to see you at CR events. And just stop struggling against the insanity. Once you give in to it, things go a lot smoother for you here in Ohio. + rep

With F-bodies around in almost any imaginable flavor, there are surprisingly few that appeal to me. Yours, however, is one of them. Gorgeous car, nicely done. :thumbup:

Hmm. That's an interesting assertion you make there. But, instead of screening out the potentially dangerous drivers based exclusively on age, would you consider using driving skill, driving record, or even literacy (after all, some important traffic signs are written) as a fair test of denying drivers license renewals? That way, for example, we wouldn't have to share "our roads" with dullards who don't know the difference between aloud and allowed. You also might want to consider just how many miles of "our roads" have been paved by your lifetime tax contribution compared to those senior citizens' contributions. It doesn't buy them the right to drive with poor vision or poor judgment, but if they can demonstrate their visual acuity, reaction time and driving ability, I feel they have as least as much right to be on the road as some inexperienced kid texting every 30 seconds, or some intoxicated barely-legal adult careening home from the bar. Tougher driving tests (including renewal tests) and a system of graduated driving privileges would make for safer roads, but most people support neither. And stop picking on old people or I'll hit you with my walker. :gtfo:

Shoehorn one of these under the hood, and it would be near-perfection, eh Scott? http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/engine_tundra_2009.jpg Rob, would there be any way to put a twin turbo'd Century V-12 in one? http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/130_0704_05_ztop_secret_v12_toyota_.jpg Now that would be a car

Welcome, neighbor. Good intro. I recognize the backgrounds in your photos but don't know your car. But I'll be on the lookout for it around town. :ninja: + rep

This thought frequently crosses my mind after parking the Lotus, but prolly for a different reason than you mean .....

Yeah, you're the expert, boy-o. You just made 10 one-line posts in 10 threads in 10 minutes, including posting in another newb's intro thread. Take some advice: better for people to wonder why you didn't post, than why you did.

Scott, if you buy one of these, I'll personally install the OBAMA sticker on the back bumper for you. They're required on all Priususususes's, you know.

I'll buy a round. Welcome home.

I could picture you in an '03-'04 Marauder. Not the greatest gas mileage, but has the big car feel you like in the Impala, great motor, accepts both mechanical and cosmetic mods nicely, RWD. What's not to like? Maybe a little hard to locate a clean one on the cheap, but it would be a fairly exclusive car and I think would be a real workhorse of a daily. And before you start bitching about joining the Ford Family, consider that it's the American car company that didn't go bankrupt.

I learned the hard way not to be typing on my laptop while I drive. So many times I spilled my beer, dripped Chicken McNugget sauce, or dropped cigar ashes onto the keyboard (one time, I did all three at once). As I mopped up the mess (while merging into traffic), I accidently hit the ENTER key and my post looked like something Paul had written. Just not practical, IMHO.

Well, that's certainly been true in this thread .....

Yeah, sure, easy for you to quip about, but what if he doesn't have google software installed on his PC? Never thought about that, did ya?
