Ew...that's disgusting.

I prefer the stainless.

So do I, but hey, 24-karat gold might just fetch a pretty penny.

25 million of 'em. :lookaroun

Some group out there's actually made a replica of the BTTF version.

Not one for aesthetics, but hey, neither am I. :lol:

Yes, I'd keep the Avalanche... Tina's lease will be running out and she's the one that will be buying/leasing it. She really likes the C70 Volvo but she wants to cut her payments a little.

She had the Audi A4 Cabrio prior to the Infiniti M35 and she loves her car...but wants a convertible again.

She very much dislikes the 3 series convertible. She likes the Mini...is ok on the Smart...wouldn't mind the Jeep...but is basically leaving the decision up to me because I do most of the driving and I would get more out of the car (she just wants a convertible).

I refuse to even look at the New Beetle.

Does she need a back-seat? How about a Solstice or Sky?

in the same class as the mini, what about the Volvo C30?

You would be suprised at the number of BTTF modded DMCs out there... quite a few. Actually there were a few at the DeLorean show I went to a couple of summers ago -- pics of them start here: http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d20/dmc12jz/?action=view&current=WDW_May06191.jpg :wave:

I personally love it...she wants a convertible though. It's not in a Cabrio form is it?

ooOOoo I didn't even THINK of those!

*goes and researches* :lol:

no it's not, and I love it as well. Unfortunately the Volvo dealer on the island is run by a bunch of idiots, so I went with VW... whom I learned was run by thieves. So I went off island for my car :lol:

I have a feeling we're going to end up with the C70. :shrug: No power but whatever, it's still a nice car.

I told her that for just a little more...a Vette could be in our garage :lookaroun

(I don't know why I'm marrying her...she despises the look of the vette).

 

[garyhoov]

If you're looking for fun and relatively inexpensive, how about a Mustang?:shrug:

I don't think I could bring myself to buy any Ford product. The Camaro isn't out of the picture though.

with that solid rear axle, I don't think I could handle it

That's what gives it "character".

The ADA thing is way too overhyped in Disney-fanland

All they need to comply with ADA is 'reasonable accomodation' - which could be other rooms. There is also another out which says if its basically cost prohibitive to do it. Disney would just have other rooms available for guests that are ADA accessible.

The ADA does not dictate that every possible space is accessible - that is a misnomer.

Usually you are full of vehicle knowledge and I like hearing your insights on the ways of the 4-wheeled vehicle...but...you lost me with this post :lookaroun

:lol: jk, it's obviously posted in the wrong thread.

d0h!

I'm struggling with my new computer which is still unconfigured... yeah.. that's my excuse

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Well, hearing that the Camaro will have an independent rear suspension...and 400hp...and convertible...that seats 4 people...I think it has just skyrocketed to the #1 slot.

I dont know about that. As of an article published on 2/6/8 the 2009 Dodge Challenger will have a 425 HP/ 420 FPT Hemi and will seat 5. I could easily see me trading in the mini van for that in a year or two.

The little lady requires three things.

1. It's red.
2. It has heated seats.
3. It's a convertible.

The Challenger looks great...but it lacks #3.

(EDIT: Also, I'm a GM guy...not a Mopar guy...and that interior looks hideous.) Talk about "blah"

The convertible model is on deck for 2010. I kind of like the minimalist interior. Some of the cars of today are simply too busy on the inside for my taste. I am originally a Chevy guy as well but I have never been a big Camaro fan. I like them there are just other classic Chevys I like more namely the 57 Bel Air. To date I have owned 2 of them. If GM was to ever make a retro 57 Bel Air I could see me selling one of my kids to get it.:lol:
