Monday will be 9 months smoke free for me. I quit "COLD TURKEY" after almost 30 years of Camels. If you really want to do it you can,just throw away your cigarettes and don't buy(or borrow)any more. Hang in there,you can do it.

For some reason I have not been able to get logged into the forum for the past couple of days.After trying everything I could think of to fix the problem(with no success)I sent an e-mail to Gregg and told him about my problem.After several e-mails back and fourth he finally gave me a suggestion that took care of it. I just think it's VERY COOL of him to take the time to help a board member like he did,and I wonder if those guys who run those other sites would have done the same(I doubt it). Thanks a lot Gregg,it's good to be back!!! Rich

George, try Most Visited near the top left corner. I's the same as favorites.

I've noticed that since the change,on a few threads, the pictures are too big for the screen and I need to scroll across to see the whole thing. This always happened on the SA forum until I switched to firefox, but now it's happening here in a few spots. Anybody know how to fix this? Also, I can't get any of the optional skins yet. Other than that,everything seems to work fine.

They all look great!!! I just can't figure out why that ' 57 didn't get painted blue. lol

But,remember,the '62 bubbletop isn't an Impala,it's a Bel Air.

Davezinn,I think it's a very nice build too. I was just responding to Crazyjim's comment on the bumpers being oversized. WOW, guess you gotta be careful about what you say 'round here!!!

I think those bumpers are upside down.

I really like the look of the '58 Impala done gasser style.You never see '58s done like this.I might have to give this a try. What did you use for the suspension and ladder bars on the silver one? BTW that is one smart dog there!!!!!

Oh yeah,I forgot a couple,how 'bout: Duel-Dennis Weaver in his red,4 door Plymouth Valient,being chased by the semi. And the follow-up to American Graffiti,I think it was actually called More American Graffiti.It had more cars than the original,I think.

Here's a few more: Heart Like A Wheel-The story of Shirley Muldowney(lots of dragg racing). Macon County Line-Nick Nolte and Don Johnson heading to the drag racing nationals in Calif.in a hot yellow '57 Chevy. Hot Rods from Hell-A bunch of spoiled rich teenagers chasing Dana Andrews and his family across the Calif. desert.

It's a '64 GTO,not '65.

Keep diggin' Dave,....Barney Rubble has to be there somewhere!!!!!

WOW!!!! Four different strippers.Sounds like a good time to me.

One good source for reference pics is www.autabuy.com .They have over 53,000 listings,and most of them have a lot of great pics with close-ups of interior and engine details.You can do a search for the vehicle you're looking for,and they have almost anything you can imagine.Give it a try! Rich

Welcome to the club.Got my pink slip Tuesday.

Who would have thought that Bruce Springsteen was that old?????

THANK YOU,wdcav.You just printed all the facts that the foreign car snobs hate to see.It's about time someone stood up for American cars.

Looks good,but that suspension,and them wheels aint stock.

Hey RadRides,thanks for the reply,and believe it or not,I agree with you on most of what you said.I don't feel sorry for the car makers one bit.They are ones who put themselves in this mess,with the help of the UAW.GM pays huge amounts of money in pension plans and wages to people who do absolutly nothing for it.Last year GM paid pension benitits to 37,000 people,while on the other hand,for example,Mitsubishi paid 0.The avarage labor cost to build a Pontiac is right around $70,while the cost to build a Toyota is a little over $30,thanks to the UAW.It's no wonder they can sell their cars cheaper and still show a profit. As for used cars,we must remember that the car that was traded in for $6500 Most likely needed the bald tires replaced,the cracked windshield replaced,the paint touched-up,dings and dents fixed,and all of our cars get a lube job,oil change,oil filter and a 120 point inspection,and any number of things that may need to be replaced or repaired.By the time the sales manager and finance manager get their cut and the salesman gets his commission there isn't that much left for profit,when that car sells for $10,000.But you are 100% right on one thing,don't feel sorry for the US auto makers,feel sorry for the millions of people who could lose their jobs(myself included).If the big 3 go down,I'm afraid they'll take the country down with them.

RadRides,where I come from the car salesman have nothing to do with the price of a car.It is completely up to the sales manager and the dealership that you are dealing with.If a car dealer will only sell a car for $4000 over book,don't worry about them,they won't be around long.I regularly sell vehicles for $2000 or more under book,and yes I am an honest car salesman(as most of us are).And if people are buying cars that are way over their budget,it's because of their own stupidity,not dishonest salesmen.Every day I deal with MORONS who think we should allow them $3000 over book on their hammered,filthy old trade-in,and sell them a totally reconditioned,spotless,warenteed car for $3000 under book,and I'm the evil car salesman when I tell them I cant do it.And as far as buying one of those wonderful German engineered cars(that they're practically giving away)go ahead,and good luck getting it fixed when something goes wrong with it(and you'll be doing plenty of that).It always amazes me how when a car customer will beat-up a car salesman for 3 or 4 hours to save $200 on a $20,000 car and turn around and pay full price for a TV,jewelry,or piece of furniture that has been marked up by as much as 300 to 800%.So lighten up on car salesmen(they're just trying to make a living),and when you run across one who is too pushy,or tries to rip you off,just don't deal with them,it's that easy,just move on to the next dealer 'till you find one who is willing to work with you,and help you get the best deal on the right car or truck for you(and there are a lot of us out here).And remember,if you get screwed on a car deal,it's probabaly more you're fault than the salesman's.

I'm with Harold.Why is everyone so quick to badmouth the U.S.car makers?Where would we be today if not for them?Think about it......no Impalas,or Camaros,or Novas,noChargers,orRoadrunners,or Cudas,no Mustangs,or Torinos,or Fairlanes,and on and on.Can you imagine 40 years from now someone saying"Dude did you see that 09 Kia Rio?That thing is HOT."I don't think so.So buy American cars,guys,they're still the best deal.Trust me,I'm a car salesman,and everyone knows that we only speak the truth.Now what do I have to do to get you into this new Buick today.LOL Watch for the new Cadillac CTS-V coupe.Rear wheel drive,556 horsepower 6.2 liter v-8,6 speed manuel trans.WOW this aint you're granny's Caddy.

Looks very cool!!!! What made you decide to use the 66 El Camino rather than the 65?

Since I'm almost always wrong,I think I'll go with the opposite of what I think it is.So this one looks so real,I'm gonna say it's a model.

I heard this kit has been cancelled.Maybe the posts were cancelled too?
