Chevy Astro Van EXT AWD. Bigger then a mini van, Longer then the standard Astro, AWD is killer in the Snow with it's weight, rear A/C, 8 Passenger seating, Remove the seats and you can haul so much. The only problem or irritation was the small windshield. I'm 6'3 and am looking out of the windshield practically at the headliner. Should have had a taller roof or shorter seat! ... View more

Living in a Moderate winter zone, Pennsylvania, I drive my car. As long as the roads are clear of snow and road sprays/salts, I will take her out for a nice winter drive when I can. Cars are meant to be driven, not stored. Of course I know in many other areas you have to store your classic because there is just to much snow. ... View more

My choice is a car. The Oldsmobile Calais. As a prior owner of two, an 86 which was my first Brand new car and a 91. I can attest to the fact that these cars really plow through the snow, limited only by their ground clearance. They were of an era where the front wheel drive Weight bias was very heavy towards the front.( you could replace the front brakes by a 3:1 ratio compared to the rear) New front wheel drive cars are not the same, since Manufacturers are looking for more neutral handling. I would assume The other GM "N" cars the Grand Am and Buick Somerset/skylark have the same ability.  ... View more

I went in to an Oldsmobile/Cadillac Dealership one time to look at a car. I saw a Catera and a cutlass supreme parked side by side in the show room. I told the salesman that they look a lot a like and you want thousands more for the Catera. When I went back a week later the cars were parked on either side of the showroom, lol. ... View more

@ ZEPHYR  No they are not. They do not meet height or HP requirements along with other features. The best use I have seen for these things is in the Pits at a race track. Your better off with a Moped which you can actually take somewhere. Street legal except on a highway. Only regular class C car license required.     ... View more

I always liked the Delco Bose setup for GM. I wasn't a crazy Audiophile or anything but I thought they sounded really good for a "Stock" system. Plus with all the radio thefts of custom installed systems going on in the 80s and 90s, Thieves never bothered with them.  ... View more

A nice clean design, not to bold, definitely need to do something with that bug catcher grill. Better than what Toyota did to the Supra for sure. ... View more

I can attest to the Corvette bang for the buck. I had bought an 84 C-4 for $7500. What a blast. And with just a little care they hold up really well. I replaced the blinky digital dash myself (A common problem with this dash.)  Sent in the core and got back a newly refurbished dash and dropped it in. LOL the Blinky Dash saved me from getting a ticket! I apologized to the officer and I wasn't going really that fast, I said the dash board went out on me and needed repair (The dash would blank out) then I promptly banged the top of the dashboard and the dash came to life! The officer let me slide.  ... View more

I remember when I was a teenager in the early Eighties that our local Mechanic had a Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser on his lot for sale for $800. I kept going back to look at it, I was fascinated with that vista glass panel roof. ... View more

I remember Dad taking us to Disney World for the first time in 1971-72. Driving all the way in his behemoth Buick Lesabre. (There were six of us in there.)  When he had to put the A/C on I remember him saying that the gas gauge moved like the second hand on a clock! LOL! Glad gas was cheap then! Oh and yes he had the 7.5 Liter 455. ... View more

Regarding the workability of the A/C Systems R-12 was great. Being old enough to remember the switch over to 134-A. Every car I owned after they switched had to have the A/C charged after a few years from leakage. I never had to this with R-12. So far though I have not had to charge my 2007 Chevy Malibu yet. Maybe they figured it out. ... View more

I remember those trucks well. Almost bought an 1992 space cab 4X4. Really liked them. Guy at work had a Mcfly Toyota, and I was telling him about the Mazda. He insisted that Mazda did not Make a Pickup truck. I told him, Dude! I was in the showroom and sat in it. He wouldn't believe me until I showed him my brochure. What I also remember was for some strange reason there was less leg room in the space cab then the regular cab, The seat wouldn't go back that extra notch I noticed, being that I was 6'3. Also A/C was dealer installed and they had a hood bulge (pretty cool) for the larger 2.6 I-4 engine.  ... View more

Just because you get in a race car learn how to race for a movie and then be in a few races does not make you a Race car driver.

I always liked the look of the Standard car over the GT. Such a good looking compact design. I'm 6'3 so the sunroof models are out, takes away head room. I almost bought a white 1988 4 cyl. car in 1995 for $3000.00 but the Salesman was being a douche over $100.00 So I walked. Wish I bought it. lol. ... View more

I know a lot of people complain that they see to many Camaro's (first Gen) at car shows, but there is something so aesthetically pleasing about the design. It's just spot on and one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I never owned one but I did have two 69 Firebirds so I am a little biased. ... View more

To Russthek, I prefer Ford, It was sold as a Ford in Europe, Built in Germany and imported here, all badgings removed (except Capri) and sold at Mercury Dealerships as a stand alone model to be more upscale as they pushed the European heritage quite hard. Of course then we had the Fox body Mercury Capri shared with Mustang then the little Mazda platform Capri from Australia. ... View more
