More European to American translations

The replacement for the European Vectra, the Insignia

The American equivalent, Buick Regal

GM got rid of the aptly named OldsMobile but I still have a hard time thinking of anyone younger than 90 driving a Buick. Perhaps they should stop renaming cars from sister non-domestic companies in favor of car names known and loved only by those who will soon forget their own names. GM, I would rather buy a Vauxhall or Opel than a Buick for no other reason than the fear of ridicule by my peers, (or anyone young enough not to have remembered the Truman administration). Besides I like the Vauxhall grill better.

2012 Astra

Now, we got the last Astra as a Saturn. With their demise, will we get this one? It would be a shame if we didn't. This could be one of the best looking Chevrolets in a long time. Or maybe we call it a Vauxhall or Opel?

Here's what really chaps my ass. We don't get some models of sister car companies from Europe but Europe gets 2 versions of the same car...

Opel Ampera

and Chevy Volt

will be competing head to head in Europe. And WHY does the European version always look better?!?!
Thanks again GM for the slap in the face!!!

Rally America Championship being fought over by Mitsu's and Subi's

Hey Ford,

     Me again. Congrats on the Global Rally-Cross championship thing. I was just reading some web content on my favorite sport, rally racing. I see you started your company in America. You know there's a rally series America too. Oh yah, you're helping Mr. VanWay in that series (no turbo and no AWD but at least your trying).
     Hey, I have an idea... Why not get some more of those AWD Fiesta terrors over here to stomp the crap out of the competition here in America and help yourself sell more cars. Better yet, why not offer an AWD and or turbo version of that fiesta here so that Ford fans / racing teams like me (who so desperately want both )can do some stomping for you. You wouldn't be out all that extra money. Wadda ya say?!?!

Yours Truley,
Gimme Afukin AWDalready

Interview with the Stampede

NPR Pinto Stampede Piece

More pics of the Pinto Stampede

Pinto Stampede comes to K.C.

The stampede stopped at the Kansas Speed way on their way to Carlisle, PA. They did a few laps and chatted it up with the few who came out to wish them well on the journey. Darren & I talked to Charles Pitts who was making the trip from Woodland Hills, CA. He gave us a tour of his '71 Lotus powered road racer. Very cool Pinto.

Have fun fellas.
