Is that right, Joe? How about you, Joe, giving us a definition and example of "specified complexity" without telling us to go howl at the moon or something. Better yet, if you can't provide the info ask you boyfriend to.  Either way it would move along the discussion. thx

Louis I suspect he didn't grasp the "Dodge" part, either.  :) Despite his claims to drive a Dodge, as noted by others, the Grand National is a Buick which is NOT a Chrysler product. Draw your own conclusions about his vehicle but I suspect it's a K-car and more of a dodge than he understands.

The GN didn't have a black interior.  It had gray faces on the seats, with an embroidered 6 with an arrow tip at the end of the 6.

digitus impudicus Posts: 62 Joined: Feb. 2008 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,21:10    Why is there such a strong correlation between: Creationism/Rednecks(southern and northern varieties)/fundamentalism/ autos that are fast in a straight line/cars that cannot corner/ cars parked in trees GN and GNX's were worthless in corners.  They were fast in a straight line for their time, but there are many cars before and since those that are faster in a straight line. Besides, TVR's and any Lotus's could wipe the asphalt with a GN.   Hell, the Elise can do it with about 100 less BHP (if my memory serves me right) PS - even if my memory isn't right on the difference between the BHP difference between and Elise and a GN, the wiping the asphalt with the GNX still applies in the quarter mile PPS - leaving the quarter mile for any sort of twisty bits, the Elise doesn't just wipe the asphalt with the remains of the GN, it scrapes it off of the Elises dainty tires PPPS - Don't get me started on the comparison of a GN and an Exige...

Dr.GH Posts: 2333 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,21:59    I drive a 1985 Toyota pickup truck, 2WD, 22R engine, 4 speed manual transmission. It was my work truck, and I did have the undercarriage armored with skid plates, and the front end was reinforced here and there with angle iron. It has 117,777.7 original miles (when I parked it this afternoon). I just replaced the original rear break pads yesterday. I replaced the original alternator last week. Working off-road, I have gone through dozens of tires. I have only got mired twice, one time because the truck I was following (4WD) stopped. I have never washed it. The roof of my camper shell has lichen growing on it. What were we talking about? Edited by Dr.GH on Feb. 26 2010,20:00 -------------- "Science is the horse that pulls the cart of philosophy." L.

digitus impudicus Posts: 62 Joined: Feb. 2008 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,22:12    My oldest automotive child is a 1970 TR-6. Probably a little over the 100K mark. She is beautiful, dark blue, blue interior (one day I hope to change that), and knock off wire wheels. She has the Michelin redlines.  They squee when cornering.  No power steering, and sometime soon will need work on the transmission (getting into 1st is sometimes stubborn, she needs a gentle but firm hand).  Of course, no A/C, no power windows, and a stiff clutch.  But she runs, and sounds like nothing else in the past 30 years. She isn't practical, but she is mine, and a hell of a lot more interesting than the piddling Regal with a 6 cyl turbo.

digitus impudicus Posts: 62 Joined: Feb. 2008 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,22:15    It is an automobile that requires you to get your hands dirty, bruised, and crushed at time. Sort of like good science. Something that Joe G with his Regal wouldn't know about.

Acipenser Posts: 35 Joined: Jan. 2010 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,22:24    Our two ranch trucks are a 1951 Chevy with a 1959-235 passenger car engine that replaced the old 216 engine years ago.  When I first met my wife this was our only rig for about 6 years and of course no AC which  made for a warm ride in the 110 F days of summer.  It is also colonized with lichen and moss mostly on the outside. The other is a 1986 Toyota one-ton 2wd with 242,000+ miles on the 22R motor and a 5 speed manual transmission.  Great trucks!

Dr.GH Posts: 2333 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,22:28    I was driving my truck the three blocks to the harbor this morning, and I had to stop at a traffic light (There are four in three freaking blocks). Ahead of me was a new Lamborghini. The heat pouring off the engine created light distortion in a ~160 degree arc. The nitwit driver roared off a whole block to the next red light, while I arrived seconds later- still in second gear. I realized the Lamborghini had never left first gear. That is why, in my town we only see new Lamborghinis. (About the same story with the Maserati, but they seem to last at least a year or two longer).

digitus impudicus Posts: 62 Joined: Feb. 2008 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,22:31    I personally haven't owned a real truck.  My grandfather had several. My favorite was a 1960's Chevy 1/2 ton. SWB, only had a two speed auto tranny.  Once again, no power anything, no A/C, but had a nice small block v8, and when he owned it it had two tone primer.  I used to drive it occasionally when I was in college.  It was great in rush hour traffic since folks thought you had no insurance.  They generally moved out of your way....

My first Toy PU had a 5 speed transmission, and I really loved it. The first gear was so low that I could climb almost any hill. The 4 speed takes a more aggessive approach to climbing a hill, get in second and floor it.

digitus impudicus Posts: 62 Joined: Feb. 2008 (Permalink) Posted: Feb. 26 2010,22:38    my grandfather also had a 1970 Buick Riviera. When he first acquired it, it had been sitting up for about 15 years.  The exhaust pipes had rotted out, but being the redneck that I am I drove it while it was still getting civilized.  Before the pipes were fixed, it sounded like a WWII fighter landing when you were decelerating. Wonderful car, but gone now after so many years and family issues. There was also a 70's two door Plymouth Satellite.  Red, white vinyl top, 318(?), white vinyl interior.  Amazing under-rated hot rod.  Gone before I could drive.

There was an old cowboy joke that there was only one thing worth doing that you couldn't do riding a horse- taking a crap. (Yes, yes. I think I could, too. The trick would be to  ... never mind).* We updated that for our trucks (and were far more comfortable). * Edit to add: It couldn't work with an English saddle anyway.
