This is a truck with a trunk. What a simple thing and the first time it's been thought of.
Granted, I've had a few beers today, but that is just awesome.

do you keep the beers in the truck trunk
Posted by mjm2005 on :
what's the name of it?
Posted by mjm2005 on :
The Ridgeline? That heavily advertised pickup-esque thing that was all over last year's Super Bowl?

I vote for the new Batmobile!

The Chevrolet El Camino. All years from the late 50s to the late 80s, no question about it.
Secondly, 1993, 1995 and 1996 Oldsmobile Cieras.
Posted by Gordon Bennett on :
I've owned three Toyotas. I drove each one over 300,000 miles with the original engine. My last one, a Camry, had 363,000 miles on it and it still ran great when I traded it in. They are amazing cars.

toyota's great, but the trucks are over-priced...get nearly as durable a vehicle with Nissan at roughly 50 cents on the dollar...

My grandfather(Don Beagel) collected El Camino's back in the day. He's up in Heaven now. Passed away two years ago at 88, he started his own business.
Check out Don's Automotive Mall if you need parts for a vehicle:
Yeah, thanks Peaser01. I picked me up a superclean, nearly new metallic brown 86 El Camino Super Sport with under 36,000 original miles when I bought it almost exactly a year ago from a 90 year old man in Odessa, Texas. Could not believe how new and flawless this truck was when I first looked at it. Not a ding, not a scratch, runs perfectly. This Chevy doesn't need anything BUT if I do, I'll check the website out. Thanks again!

Hey man... With all do respect, I'm on this thread to talk about cars. If you'd like to continue talking about right versus left, go back to the Pat Robertson thread. I'm here for car and truck talk.

no way, dude--this is about right vs wrong: what you posted over there is wayyy outta line...
Posted by DWE on :
So you're going to sit there and tell me how wrong I am for having a personal preference for Chevy El Caminos of all years?
You people are the ones out of line for your promotion of perverse gay filth! I'm just trying to have you people understand that the blood of Jesus Christ can save people like you and your friends from thinking the way you do.

no...no cars involved--your wishing death on a fellow poster is the issue

The new Corvette Z06
The new Corvette Z06 is the highest-performance automobile in Chevrolet or GM history. Codeveloped with the Corvette C6.R race car, which is engaging Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Maserati. A supercar by any definition. Soaking in racing technology from its 7.0 Liter 505-hp engine with dry-sump lubrication system to its six-piston front brakes to its carbon-fiber body panels. Power-to-weight ratio exceeds Porsche 911 GT2, Dodge Viper, Ferrari F430 and 575 Maranello, Lamborghini Gallardo, and Ford GT.(1)

Ric, are they out, on the street?
Posted by HILANDER on :
This is the fastest production car on Earth, so you should learn how to pronounce its name. KOENIGSEGG CCR. Sweet car, more technologically advanced than probably anything out there.
Posted by HILANDER on :
Support for the above argument. Nothing can touch this car. And I believe it is cheaper than the Mclaren was. CC8S SPECS:
Engine: Supercharged V8 | Power: 655 hp | Torque: 750 Nm Acceleration: 0-100 km/h: 3,5 s | Topspeed: 390 km/h | Chassis: Carbonfibre semi-monocoque | Body: Carbonfibre, Kevlar Aerodynamics: 0,297 Cd | Weight: 1175 kg | More Technical Data
CCR SPECS:
Engine: Supercharged V8 | Power: 806 hp | Torque: 920 Nm Acceleration: 0-100 km/h: 3,2 s | Topspeed: 395+ km/h | Chassis: Carbonfibre semi-monocoque | Body: Carbonfibre, Kevlar Aerodynamics: 0,297 Cd | Weight: 1180 kg | More Technical Data

The Ferrari F430 would kick the Corvette's ass... no question...

I could use one of them Rip Saw's.
Posted by permanentjaun on :
Wow. Impressive video to say the least. Corvette does have NOTHING on that car. Of course let's compare price tags. You definently get what you pay for. Matt
Posted by Ktrain420 on :
THAT RIP SAW IS A BAD MACHINE!! O-60 3 SEC AND OVER 80 MPH.......NASTY......GO TO THE WEBSITE THEY HAVE RIP-SAW2 OUT.........SICK.......

My bike would kick both of their asses........NO QUESTIONS!!!
I wonder what one of those Rip Saw's would cost me? The old 4-wheeler and snowmobiles could be retired with one of those bad boys. I'm ready to go ice fishing already!
Posted by Ktrain420 on :
Im with ya on that one, I have a YFZ-450 and I thought that thing was fast!! That rip-saw is NASTY.....they are tryin' to contract it to the government.......the new one has like 1,300 hp....._
Posted by Peaser01 on :
10 more years when they've been out for a bit and the price comes down a bit, I'll be looking to buy one. They are sweet! Hopefully I won't have to wait 10 yrs though! Posted by DWE on :
CHEVY EL CAMINO ALERT!!!
For all Chevy El Camino fanatics, I just found this website.
Now you got a subject I could spend all day on. I have been under the hood of many cars over my years. Hmmm!!! The Best Vehicle. The new cars the handling is great, there are some fast one's and the new technology is great. But for shear fun and thrills the cars from 1955-1974 are the best. I have had a few of them over the years and been under the hood of many. I have had a 68 Vette 427-390hp, I don't suggest popping the clutch at a standstill, I took out two parked VW's trying that stunt. I also had a 413 Dodge with 2 ram quads,a Jag E-type roadster, it was like sitting in a airplane cockpit with all the gauges, that was my daughters favorite. Then there was the 57 Buick Roadmaster Convt. with the dyna-flo trans(one speed)don't plan on stopping to quick but a dream on the road. The Chevy Corvair with a 327-350hp motor in the back seat, it could also give you a thrill if you could stand the smoke and lack of room,the 340 Dodge Dart I had was pretty quick also. But probably the best car made might have been the one my friend had,it was the 65 GTO 389 with 3 deuces what a car.
rious.
Posted by BuyTex on :
ya, parallel experience, Iwish...my pal had a 64 Impala with a 67 'vette engine that would pull a 2nd-gear wheelie...looked like a family car, though. We had a lotta fun in that one...time passed and didn't see him for awhile, then he turns up in a 68 goat. I asked him how he could get rid of the Impala...
"This one's faster," he said, munching a cheeseburger.
"That's hard to believe," I said.
So he showed me... yee-hawww
Posted by IWISHIHAD on :
That 64 Impala you had to watch out for. I had one with the 409 CI. but it was I think around 390hp, the small one. They had a 425hp with dual quads and guys use to take the 409 stickers off and try and make it look like a family car, but when they got next to you it did not sound like a family car.
Posted by BuyTex on :
yup...saw him get beat once, that was it...shoot, one night? we were at the car wash and this guy rolls in with an out n out dragster...they got to talking, next thing I know, game on. Guy untrailers the dragster, and off we go...Boy, that guy was mad as hops, lol...
btw--my pal later set a world record in his outboard motor class...then we he "retired"? Helped build a faster boat for the guy who broke *his* record...
My brother-in-law had a great "sleeper," from the same year--remember the Ford big ol' two-door...Fairlane, maybe...anyway, came stock with a 390, 300-horse...pretty cool. He took that car to Germany, in the Army--Hellooooo Autobahn...
Posted by Gordon Bennett on :
The biggest problem with new cars is that it now takes a degree in computer science to work on them.
Posted by BuyTex on :
I *heard* that, GB--one reason I bought the truck I have now; still need the 'puter hookup, but at least I can still change reach the oil filter and plugs, etc. lol, my ex split with a Ford van we had...good riddance! Took *hours* to change the dang plugs...
Posted by Gordon Bennett on :
True. It seems they don't even want the car owner to be able to do simple maintenance without bringing it to a repair shop.
Posted by BuyTex on :
Another thing?
Why are auto 'puters all about hardware? Wotta scam...updates should be software...downloadable, or access through the CD drive....
Posted by IWISHIHAD on :
The cars in the last 10-15 years have jammed so much stuff under the hood it is almost impossible to work on them without special tools and a hoist.
Posted by BuyTex on :
yup, that's why I like the powerplant on my lil midsize...built like a hemi; plugs down "in there," but totally accessible from the top, all *four* of em, lol. Great mileage--for a working truck--but enough go, also. eg, tonight, I got a big 185 air-compressor hooked up behind it...sure, mlieage will suffer tomorrow, but the drivetrain is plenty good to go.
Posted by IWISHIHAD on :
The newer cars with computers are pretty slick. You still have the same basic engine, just takes a little more time to first figure it out. It is actually much easier now to do modifications on the drivetrain, instead of changing parts you can change those computer settings.
Posted by BuyTex on :
yep--but still say updates should be software.
Man, I learned more about that stuff than I*ever* wanted to know cuz of buying a hosed-up Astro Van...the dude had gone *into the dashboard* and removed the lamp from the "check engine" socket--which you have to "read" for the codes...I wound up at the library, copying all the circuits so I could ring out continuity...
what I don't like? way too often, the "problem" is the 'puter/sensors--NOT the engine...
Posted by IWISHIHAD on :
Yea- It can drive you nuts, sometimes. My 6 cylinder mustang has more sensors than the 8 has. It has 4 oxygen sensors at $80 bucks a crack. You can rebuild the engine cheaper than replacing all the sensors.
Posted by Peaser01 on :
I wrecked/rolled a few too many of my Ford Rangers in my teenage years. I remember those being a piece of cake to fix or figure out what was wrong with em.
Good luck on these newer cars for cryin' out loud. I've got the computer hook ups for my Jetta, it still scares me to death though messing with it at times.
It's all a big scam anymore with the Automobile industry, they have the technology for us to not be gasoline dependent, but will they share it with us? NO WAY. Even the hybrid's that are coming out aren't as good as the technology they've been hiding from the public for years.
