Cool cars and CLC chat

I had a buddy with a Grand National back in high school. We won a lot of money whipping Corvette, Mustang and Camaro tail at the drag strip. Ice that turbo down and get full boost and it would scream!

I'd for sure own a Grand National.

Have any of you guys painted, sealed, or epoxied the floor of your garages or shops?

My new shop slab is cured now, and I want to do something beside bare concrete. Was hoping to get some real world input.

Please keep the family and friends of Walker Wilbanks in your prayers. Walker is the Prep Junior Football player who collapsed Friday night and has been fighting for his life at Baptist and UMC. Walker passed today. I am so sad for his parents and little brother.

Every parents nightmare.

Buddy of mine sent me this last night:

Wouldn't one of those be great? Is pay $50,000 for one tomorrow

 

[Bodean]

I would love to have one of those! Screw a 200 series. Even if I had the money I'd choose the 70 series over a 200 all day long. Why can't the Japs just run about 50,000 of those across the pond for American dealers. I'll never understand it...

We have too many gay EPA and airbag requirements.

Plus 97% of US Cruiser enthusiasts are cheap asses.

Japan and the EU share auto safety regulations, which are arguably just as tough as US laws. Efforts have been made to align all three, since they're so similar. Some Japanese environmental rules are tougher than in the US, such as vehicle disposal costs and requirements to retrofit older vehicles to meet current emissions laws. And, their emissions laws are pretty stringent- though maybe not up to California standards.
But, your last statement is mostly true-certainly in my case.

 

[wngrog]

Key is they don't align for this model. Close but the cost to align has always been the killer.

Could they build them with "stockpiled" 1989 chassis and bodies and such and sell them as "new old stock" 1989 70 series? Problem solved!

Walker saved 4 lives and helped a fifth person see again with organ donations. What a legacy.

Wow! That's awesome! It's a sad situation but talking around to some of the guys we played ball with it's a wonder this kind of situation hasn't popped up before.
