@chariotoflove I actually like the last gen Impala. It was good at what it did, it just wasn't very remarkable to look at. Subtly good looking but nothing super special. It needed more pizazz.

The only place where it fell down a bit for me was the tail lights. I feel like they were more fitting on a Malibu than the flagship.

@just-jeepin that green and white Ford is hot.

@streetsofperth it sounds fantastic too. I've talked to my coworker because it piques my interest as a next car, but he gets like 15mpg. I can't have a garage of just big thirsty V8s lol.

@old-busted-hotness That's a good point about slower speeds overall.

I wonder if them not having to shift much had anything to do with their longevity.

@shop-teacher You know, that would explain a lot. . .

@stuckmtb I shopped around for these the other day. I miss my VW Cabriolet and I think a 900 would be even better.

@mark-tucker said in Some DOTS that will be boring to many, but interesting to weirdos like me:

@rusty-vandura Nope, this is an H-body, full size. The Celebrity was a midsize A-body. Chevy never had a car on this platform, because they kept the RWD B-body Caprice as their full sizer. (Yeah, I'm a bit of a GM nerd too...)

I'm sorry that the Caprice went away. I don't really like FWD. And people race FWDs around tracks... NOPE. (Then again, I don't race anything...)

@wbizarre The 65 GT 350 also has the honeycomb grill and the 66 has the slats like this car. There are quite a few noticeable differences. One way to spot fakes is when traits of different model years are combined.

@whoistheleader can't recall when i last saw one too.

@hfv Nice

@jawzx2 That A70 tho...

@misterbuttercup
Twas indeed a good walk!

@pip-bip It would be a pretty easy car to own all things considered and it's definitely got the WTF factor.

@williamssw MUCH LIKE!

@ranwhenparked Oh yeah, that guy. But for maximum good taste you need breezy short white cargo shorts. At first I thought the head tattoos were supposed to be hair but on second glance I think it's just a big head tattoo.

Fortunately, i was able to get it back home today and even park it next to the A3 :

@cb Wonder what is supposed to attach to the carabiners on the top hoop.

@essextee Daily and Overland the Scout, burn the others.

@essextee The only problem I see is they either need to relocate the bumper to match the body lift or at the very least add a filler panel in the gap.

@whoistheleader I spotted this 2002 back in Nov 2011

Excuse the poor photos

You’re making me feel old. These were just relatively affordable old used cars when I was in school, so you’d find these in the lots from time to time. Many rusted to within an inch of their lives.

@cb buy the Rover and restore it 😛

@essextee

GT, not 400

@milky likely some monied birminghamites checking out the new furniture line 😉
