Pontiacs ain't. They're raking in big money across the board.


I agree about the Shelbys though (well the Mustangs at least) the money was too high on them for quite a while.

Now the Cobras, that's another story. Still big money, and still well deserved as far as I'm concerned.


The Ford GTs bringing the money they are is odd. I think that trend should fade. No way those cars should bring that kind of money. They're not that rare and they're fairly new.

They're still desirable and with the new one coming out, there might be some heightened excitement. I'd sure as hell take one.

I saw 12 of them at Carlisle this past summer and I'd take anyone of them!

I watched B-J all week. Frankly, I'm friggin' burnt out on Corvettes...all years, all styles, all hi-po variations. It seemed like every third lot was a 'vette. The only ones I found interesting were the 54/55/56 numero uno's that Rick Hendrick snatched up. Otherwise, every time one showed up I just groaned.

I'm bored with Corvettes just in general. The majority of them around here are owned by old guys who are terrified of going over 2000 rpm. And most are completely stock.

Also, this. Even the car shows are the same. Endless Vettes and GM cars. I'm tired of seeing the same old stuff all the time.

I'm getting hooked on *****in' Rides/Kindigit. There's great chemistry between Dave and Kevin and they have some amazing craftsmen in the shop. The creations that come out of that shop are beyond belief.

it`s hard to hide all day when you`re one of the only folks still working in a large building .. the bosses have nothing to do and they hover around all day .. if you`re not at your office they want to know where you are .. if you`re at your office and not doing anything they want to know why ..my last day is tax day ...

How is that show? Any good? I have it in my queue on Netflix, but haven't watched any of it yet. Currently watching, 'Better Call Saul'.

Its great. Kevin Spacey is fantastic, I actually think its the best work hes ever done. Its supposed to be fiction, but I'd say there is a hell of a lot of it that actually goes on in politics, stuff we don't even want to know about.

Every season just keeps getting better and leaves me wanting to see more and can't wait for the next season to come out.

Glad I got yall watching!

Being of business mind, I thought it was great to see how the whole development process was dealt with and the types of meetings that they would have all along the way.

It made me want to go back to the 50th. Only three more years until the 55th.

Oh gosh. I hope so. Scares the heck out of me though. Hopefully all 100 years will still be up and running.
