First remember China is not our friend and in fact is our enemy. Second this is a piece of dog do-do. It is butt ugly. Even in context it is not art. What a joke. As often said "there is a sucker born every day".

Chevrolet Monza GT, Mercer Cobra, Chevrolet Mako Shark II/Manta Ray, Bertone Alfa Romeo Canguro, Chrysler Turboflite in that order. The rest pretty predictable designs for the times.

What would you pay for a used tesla say 7 years old with an original battery? Know several tesla owners who love the car but dump them as the battery life starts dropping. If it breaks down under warranty have far do you have to send it for repair or for that matter one that is out of warranty? If a third of the country switched to electric vehicles we don't have enough electrical production, nor will we in the next 50 years.

If cars were women this would be whore.

A show car should be beautiful . . . this is not. jmho

TA76 · ‎07-03-2022

Would not say most.

TA76 · ‎14-02-2022

Game not bad. Commercials - I would be ashamed if I had anything to do with them None made even a smattering a lasting impression. Oh and that was the all time worse halftime show. hope they fix the cars. Oh ya the owners are putting them on the market as is with dents from the Super Bowl - I'll bet.

TA76 · ‎14-02-2022

Not by much.

Hmm it says "Integrating a modern vehicle’s infotainment, dash, and steering column into a classic vehicle is not easy, let alone an electric vehicle’s controller and its associated software." Why? It is a matter a space - most of the electronics should fit in the engine compartment with the appropriate wiring harness (which could be design in an AutoCAD program to exact dimensions need to run to the dash which also could be designed by computer.

Simply none of them. Waste of money.

TA76 · ‎04-01-2022

Forgot to mention they prefer hiring people who know something about cars. It is very hard to find any who are willing to work for the low pay. I did it it for something interesting to do being retired.

TA76 · ‎04-01-2022

Sorry not true. If you ae sold the wrong part they are swapped out. Worked for a major chain. I have been working on my car and friends cars for more than 55 years.

If you buy a Solstice it is not for the storage. It is like saying a Trans Am's rear seat is not big enough for my kids to ride in. Obviously your friend did not do his homework, plus the Solstice is a whole lot cheaper than a Boxster. Being a Pontic guy I have friends with them and they tour with out a problem. Just saying . . .

Sorry, But "Upon returning to the United States, Forest Mars began his own company, Food Products Manufacturing, where he developed, among other things, Uncle Ben's Rice and Pedigree Pet Foods. In 1940 he began a partnership with Bruce Murrie (the other "M") and in 1941 the two men patented M & M candies." " In 1942, 200,000 pounds of M&M’s were produced weekly in their Newark, NJ factory, most of it going to the military. Soldiers in WWII carried the m&m's with them. By the end of the war, the factory was producing 600,000 lbs each week.

It is kinda like the mileage my muscle car gets when I'm cruising. I really don't care.:)

TA76 · ‎31-12-2021

Add the jerky and you are all set!

Cheap movies lack completeness and rely on viewers to over think the store line to fill in the gaps.

TA76 · ‎22-12-2021

Ah that is what he wrote . . .

TA76 · ‎03-12-2021

Why? and don't answer "why not" cuz it is just a little seen or driven car here in the US with a small following. Boring. JMHO

TA76 · ‎04-11-2021

Nor are the computers to run it.

TA76 · ‎04-11-2021

With all the profits going to Japan. And why not drive the collectors cars what else are you going to do with the money you earned? Just saying . . . .

TA76 · ‎04-11-2021

You are wrong. It is because they have so much money in them that can't afford or won't afford the cost of insurance to drive them more than a few thousand miles a year. And to that the cost to maintain them. When was the last time you found shop that could do a carb? An electric motor won't change handling or braking. handling with it being not designed for the vehicle mare make it worse. Don't forget the cost it will double the price tag.

TA76 · ‎03-11-2021

Fantastic cars. My Dad made many of the dies used for this car.

TA76 · ‎23-10-2021

Na Look like a two door accord.

TA76 · ‎23-10-2021

Storage space? Really?

TA76 · ‎23-10-2021

Rebadge? Nope do your homework.

TA76 · ‎16-10-2021

Sorry should of had at least one Trans AM commercial. My favorite is "It's very hungry" https://youtu.be/UmrEQWT4XlI

TA76 · ‎15-10-2021

I'm sorry but none of these garages or house look like something I would want to live in. Kind of ugly. JMHO

TA76 · ‎15-10-2021

Not for people who like to work on their cars.

TA76 · ‎04-09-2021

The number I have show 3196 TAs were made and 1046 were blue.

TA76 · ‎04-09-2021

Why a chevy 454? not the hard to find a a Pontiac 455. Due to construction of the block a much more reliable and stronger engine.

TA76 · ‎04-09-2021

You will be sorry! 😎

TA76 · ‎04-09-2021

Hmm don't know where you looked but never had a problem finding good quality ones.

TA76 · ‎04-09-2021

The cars are in fact quite different. Cosmetics aside the engines shifters etc. were different. Firebirds handling was better. Worked on and driven both and would take the Firebird. That is why I have a '76 TA. Plus you and get the true documentation on them where there are more Camaro Rally cars on the road than they built.

TA76 · ‎13-06-2021

Strictly a city person "truck".

TA76 · ‎13-06-2021

Not much there for the US. My first thought not much to really catch the eye. Second thought they are mostly crappy ads. If this is the best in Europe their ad people are not very good.

TA76 · ‎09-06-2021

Best overall engine GM built.

TA76 · ‎24-04-2021

I have a '76 TA and is I had the money I would have a 6th generation one for daily driving!

TA76 · ‎15-04-2021

Truly the biggest question is "Why?"

TA76 · ‎02-04-2021

Nobody in Texas envies them.

TA76 · ‎02-04-2021

Sad but I believe true.

TA76 · ‎24-02-2021

Simply the Firebird were good looking cars the Porsche are just ugly. It is not a performance thing it is about looks.

TA76 · ‎13-02-2021

Well thought out.

TA76 · ‎13-02-2021

Slap a 4 speed or 5 speed overdrive automatic transmission in that firebird or GTO watch the mileage jump to 20+.

TA76 · ‎13-02-2021

On number 3 it would require we all live in a 500+ people per acre. Do not like living in that world.

TA76 · ‎13-02-2021

Hard Science - no such thing. some theories work some of the time. Others don't at all.

TA76 · ‎13-02-2021

dream on

TA76 · ‎06-02-2021

Then you either have not lived long enough or been out enough.

TA76 · ‎06-02-2021

Don't go to the show for the trophy - most in my area are for charity. You can always find someone to have a good conversation with if you try. my conversations with guys/gals who don't work on their cars goes like this. " Nice car did you do it yourself? (answer "No" or something close) Where did you get it done. They do nice work. What do you like best about driving it?" Always leads to a better talk. For those who want to be critical. "Because I do lot of my own work people are always asking me what they should do with their car and I always tell them do what will make you happy. That is what I did with this car." That usually stops the stupid comments.

TA76 · ‎06-02-2021

Hmm been to those kind cars and coffees with an older car and hardly anyone will talk to me. It goes both ways
