Hey Arclite, my brother had a '70 Goat. 455, Ram Air, tach on the hood... He'd drive up and the loose panes in the living room windows would rattle.” 9:10:00 PM 2/06/02 “** = Best Cars for dependability and/or fun (It was great when I worked for GM--New cars every year) 56 Chevy (I sold it for $75 in 1967...bummer) 64 VW Bug 68 VW Bug - New** 74 Chevy Vega - New 75 Grand Prix - New** 76 Grand LeMans- New 77 Buick Skylark - New 77 Chevy LUV - New 78 Olds Custom Cruiser - New 78 Chevy Corvette - New********************* 79 Chevy Wagon - New 80 Chevey Citation - New 79 Chev Chevette - Used 82 Olds 98 - New 84 Chevy G20 Van - Used* 91 Geo Tracker - Won at Disneyland** 87 VW Golf - Used 87 Nissan Maxima - Used 96 Chevy Astro Van - Used 97 Pontian Sunfire - Used 99 Pontiac Grand Prix - New** 02 GMC Envoy** (This is an impressive machine) This list doesn't count cars I bought for my son and daughter” 12:31:56 AM 2/07/02 “I loved that goat, Tilt. Talk about awesome power. I didn't have a Judge with the 455, but my dad, who liked fast cars, was still afraid to drive it. 400, Hurst 4-speed, Carter four barrel, it was gold with black vinyl top and black interior. I jacked it up, put 60's on the rear, ran my tail pipes out the side right in front of the the rear wheels (illegal as hell), with Thrush exhaust. I used to race it out on Rt-17, and Rt-208 in NJ. Didn't ever get beat. I had it up to 140 on Rt-17 one night and still had plenty of pedal. That was truly crazy. The speedometer went up to 160. It was a sweet ride. But talk about your babe magnets, nothing I've ever had beat that candy-apple-red Fiat Spyder convertable. Man, that was a lot of fun, and it handled like a go-cart. Goooooood times.” 5:15:22 AM 2/07/02 “I notice the thread is topheavy with American cars. I prefer Japanese and Honda in particular. My favorite: My current Honda Prelude. Bulletproof reliability and seamless performance. However it's getting up in years and I'm gonna replace it. Probably with an Accord. Love those Hondas. Never had a truck.” 10:31:35 AM 2/07/02 “I like my Prelude too, steve. It's my commuting car but it's not as fun as the Benz.” 11:35:32 AM 2/07/02
