Same goes for the Chevy/GMC trucks. Actually if you combine Chevy and GMC sales they beat Ford just about every year. Sometimes it is hard to spot if that was a bowtie or GMC on the grill.
Not exactly a dyno, but still 7,500,000 lbs. of thrust!
#3 At least limit the F-bodies to the MUCH improved 98+ LS engined versions.
Lucas automated gearbox controls.
That explains everything.
Apparently Alfa has started a foreign exchange program for the FIAT underling Dodge engineers.
I look forward to the small light Dodges with pointy chrome grills.
The Post Office's LLV is a close cousin of the S-10. [en.wikipedia.org]
That's Dennis Gage from My Classic Car. He's American and just an all around gearhead.
Snowcoach, specifically Bombardier B12. Rear mounted straight pipe small block V-8. shouldn't be too hard to drop in a LS-9.
If I was going for a slow grey market G-Wagen I would want a 2 door convertible at least.
Just don't let the Stig unload them.
Yep, that would have made it even more of a sleeper, probably lighter and faster too. My current daily driver is a truck just like the one pictured, except in black. In black it isn't TOO obvious that you have the WT el cheapo model, the black grill looks like the more expensive color matched ones. I should have sprung for the 4.8L V-8 over the 4.3L V-6 though.
Looks sort of like a modern version of a Lancia Monte Carlo/Beta. I'm sure the Lancia is a better and more reliable car.
For <$5K this is "interesting". For $11.5k, CP.
I looked at these as a replacement for my totaled K-5 Blazer in about 2002. The thing I found really odd was the seating position. Climb up into the truck and then sit on the floor like a car.
I still remember Brock Yates writing about getting a new 1991 Grand Wagoneer. Shortly after getting it someone at a gas station asked "Nice truck, did you restore it your self?"
This guy was probably trying to live out the old joke:
"Old man walks into a Mercedes dealership with a beautiful young blond late on Friday afternoon. He tells the salesman "I'd like to buy something special for my new lady friend here. " Salesman points to the SLK, the blond smiles, the old man says "no something more special than that" Sales man shows them a SL, the blond is giddy, the old man says "no something more special than that." The old man points to the SLS and says "I want that one." The blond is giddy. Salesman asks, "Do you see how much that costs?!" Old man asks "Will you take a check?" Salesman says "We can do that, but you will have to wait until Monday when we can call the bank to verify funds." Old man writes a check and leaves with the ecstatic, gorgeous blond.

Monday morning the irate salesman calls the old man, "That check you wrote me was no good!" Old man, "I know, but let me tell you about my weekend!"
This is China, are we sure the contractor didn't just skimp out and use only a thin layer of concrete. "The planes never go the far down the runway, just slap something down and make it look pretty."
Now I know why they charge $50+ for a 28 lb. bag of the stuff. It is going to pay for the float. One of our dogs has bad food allergies and needs the stuff. It beats the $60 for a 17lb. bag I was paying for the stuff the vet sells.
Really hoping this tanks the resale value of the 9-7X Aero. I would love to pick up a 2009 to replace the wife's Trailblazer.
Also, there are degrees of colorblindness. In some ways color vision is like normal vision. You might be able to tell red and green apart, but can't distinguish the different shades very well. I took a class several years ago put on by a company that sells color measuring equipment. One thing they had was a set of about 30 varying shades of color samples you had to put in order by shade. It was used to test color vision. I worked with a guy that could tell all the basic colors from each other, but was useless with trying to determine if two different samples matched.
