CAMARO! CAMARO! CAMARO!
Leftlane News reports: Camaro may come sooner than expected. Good idea, Chevy. Because by 2009, we'd be so over the current Pony car wars that we'd be over the Pony car wars. Over. The. Pony. Car. Wars. Meanwhile, Autoblog offers up: Poll: Did GM debut the right Camaro Concept? We've not really commented on the whole Camaro talk because we have bad memories of the Camaro. No, we didn't get smoked by a Camaro on the way home from high school while the girls watched and laughed. Actually, it was a Vega. And Karen was laughing the whole time. Oh, we weren't driving this time. We were standing on the corner with our pants around our ankles singing, "Old Gray Mare," as Karen passed by. And she pointed and laughed. We had feelings, Karen. We don't have them anymore thanks to various bouts of V.D., but we used to! Anyway, the new Camaro looks like Pixar designed it. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Can Minivans Get Any Better?
Edmunds reports: Reclining seats with foot rests. Here's what we know, if the Honda Odyssey comes out with reclining seats with foot rests, we're selling this old place, our heap of a Saab and buying a Honda Odyssey with reclining seats with integrated foot rests. Man! Reclining seats with foot rests. We know it sounds like we're being sarcastic, but, sadly, we're not. We want this. In our home. But the cats would just piss on it, so in a vehicle will have to do. Perhaps in 2007, we'll be able to relocate Cars! Cars! Cars! headquarters from the toilet in Starbucks to a Honda Odyssey with reclining seats and integrated foot rests in the Starbucks parking lot. Meanwhile, we've gotten used to saying, "No, we can't spare a square!"
Barrett-Jackson Auction Coverage
Like car auctions? Our friend (and co-worker) Philip Powell has been covering the Barrett-Jackson Auction like a mad man. Read his hands-on reports over at 4 Drivers Only in the auction section. We also work on 4 Drivers Only so be aware that each time you visit, you help us feed our kids. Think of the children!
Decisions Are Not Like A Light Switch
Edmunds reports: GM starts up rear-wheel-drive Zeta platform plans. Again. Well? Are you going to build a new rear-wheel-drive platform or not? Stop flipping coins and make a decision.
Scooters Are Not Nerdy
TGB Motor Scooters Announce New Warranty. By not nerdy, we mean supernerdy, but you get the idea. It's OK to pick on people riding scooters. The fact that this company was able to double the warranty means they're not doing any business with Ford or GM, and that's probably a good thing. Heh, scooters.
Me Likem Big!
AutoWeek reports: AMG's new chief has big plans for 2006. Volker Mornhinweg was thought to say, "My big plans will be to make big engines. Big! BIG! Like these, but in engine form."
