  1. +1 Mirrors and handles are HIDEOUS! Wheels need to be graphite and not so glossy. Interior rox!!!
  2. I didn't get to sit in it. It was early and there wasn't a salesman in sight. That is one place it is a disadvantage to be female. Car salesmen ignore us. I'm hanging on to my car at least another good 2 to 3 years, but I might set my sight on one of these bad boys. It will be hard for me to give up my convertible. I really love driving with the top down. OK LOC. Let's have a contest to see who is first to get one of these. All the rest of us will be JEALOUS!!!!!!
  3. Denny, don't be a smat azz. I'll come up there and put antlers, a nose AND big eyelashes on your car.
  4. Post some pics. Sunday we are supposed to get in the 60s. Might get a little top down time. Observation......it is hard to dry a car when it's cold.
  5. That would make too much sense. I am a blond you know?!?!? Ooh! The sun just came out. I'm going to go wash my girl. L8RDUDE
  6. You can get a cord for mine. Escort says you will get better reception with the cord. You guys just don't understand how anal I am about my car. I don't want an ugly cord running all up and over my dash. I just took my car in for its 20k checkup. I made a sign and put it on my dash. Please do not wash inside or out. I don't want anybody messing with my pretty girl......Er reindeer.
  7. I have been a good girl. Really is a good looking little car. I was surprised it was so inexpensive. They had 2 and they both stickered for about $50k. They had a F in new car get ready, but I didn't see it. Someone is going to have a December to remember.
  8. That Charger got 6mpg. We owned it during the oil embargo. I worked for an Exxon car wash so we could get all the gas we wanted. One day I was at a traffic light and across from me was a nice '69 Camaro in one lane and a Jaguar in the other. I told my daughter that I was probably the only woman in the world that would rather have the Camaro. I don't know why I love cars so much. Always have. Mom said it was my first word.
  9. Ok Denny, I finally have some time to reply to this. How I stay so busy now that I'm retired is beyond me!!!! I'm glad you started this. Talking about my cars is my favorite pastime. My favorite car of all times, of course, was my Z28. I didn't keep it 17 years for nothing. It was in the newspaper, Super Chevy magazine, a parade, poker runs, car show....I just totally enjoyed the car. Now.....I too owned a monster GM 455. It was in a 73 Grand Prix. It was an olive green with a white vinyl top. You could literally smoke the little 78 series tires on it. The salesman I bought it from said that the car was originally purchased by Elvis for one of his body guards. I never kept the car long enough to see the title so I will never know for sure. It was a nice car. The coolest car I ever owned was a 440 6bbl Charger. I know I have mentioned it here before. The guy that had it before us was fairly rich. He bought the car, it was a 68, and a crate motor. I'm sorry, I know it is an engine, I have just always heard them called crate motors !?!?! He had Racing Head Service build it. It had the hairiest cam I've ever seen in a street car. It would barely idle. We only kept it a year. It ate plugs, wires, points, alternators like they were candy and started eating trannys! Couldn't afford to keep it up. Have I told my cool bait and switch story here on that car? I don't want to bore anybody again if I did. I had a Datsun 280Z. It was one of the few fuel injected cars out there. Parts had to come from Japan and FedEx hadn't been invented yet. It was always leaving me stranded. My mechanic and I got to be such good friends that he sent me flowers for Christmas!!!!
  10. A high price tag. Teeheehee J/K To me luxury is feel. My car feels like a sports car, but a high quality one. It doesn't have a luxury feel to me at all. Of course, I still love it.
  11. $2.59 for 93 octane at Kroger yesterday, but I had 2 perscriptions filled so I got 20 cents off.
  12. Back to my original post, so far I love that little sticky pad. The detector is staying tight. My only concern about my mount is that there is a little bit of windshield wiper in front of it....not much. I have been getting good signals though. I wish I had a popo friend that would let me play with his radar gun.
  13. Ok.....the "still somewhere in my garage" made LOL!!!!!! In the day, that 225 was called a "Duece and a Quarter". Ghetto huh? Let me think about this one. I have to go get my moms groceries right now. Yuck.
  14. Denny, I read once that it is illegal for the state of Virginia to outlaw a citizen to receive radio signals. You might want to Google it. The way I understand it, not only do they ticket you, they take your detector. A-holes. We at least deserve a fighting chance.
  15. As we say in the south.....Yee Haw!! Speaking of the south. You know what 4 words are spoken before most redneck accidents? "Hey Bubba, watch this" Or this, "Hold my beer"
  16. I totally agree. My F-Sport package was only $2400. It was so worth it to me. My rims and trim package makes my car look and handle way sportier than a regular ISc.
  17. Out of my range. I will have to enjoy Lexie as long as I can. If I want another car that nice I will have to go back to work. Not worth the trade off. :-( David and I have to get more focused on retirement. I want out of Memphis.
  18. I take a country road when I drive to the casino. There is a stretch of road where you can tell a hot rodder lives. There are tire marks all over the road. I get tickled every time I see it. When I was a kid at home, most of the girls had friends that would come by and honk their secret sorority honk (barf). I had people come torque their car up and smoke'm. Teeheehee
  19. I think I finally have the "hot rod momma" out of my system. I told y'all about the time I did the burn out in my Z28 and the cop got on my tail. Just isn't worth it. In Shelby County, drag racing on the street is jail time. I don't need the temptation. I hate to tell you what I would really like to put on my car.....the big eyelashes!!! They would be so cute on Lexie. I promise I won't though. That would probably get me banished from the club permanently. Sometimes it is fun to be a girl. My favorite option I ever had in a car was my music box on my G37. All I had to do was insert a CD and push record and in about 5 minutes it would be on the hard drive. That was awesome.
  20. A must in the south with black leather seats and a convertible!!!!!!
  21. Not only the money for a speeding ticket, but also the inconvenience. I haven't had one since 1977. Don't want to be pulled over and bothered by a cop with an attitude.
  22. I agree. I will never own a car again that has a real key. Except maybe a '68 Camaro!
  23. Oh believe me, my husband gives me hell about them.
  24. Detectors? I would be afraid of those. Mine was like $260.
  25. Gosh Denny. We posted at exactly the same time. Teeheehee
