Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
They said El Camino wasn't a popular concept...
..
.. And these pages prove that, right?

I will NEVER own another BMW after that disaster 740i that I had. What a money pit.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Not an El Camino. But cool IMHO. Kind of the same concept. Is it a van or is it a truck?
I like Corvairs.

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
You NEED a Corvair. I mean it. I like em too. Don't have one but I like em. I'd love to drive a mid engine'd one.

That Beemer is slick! What's that, a 3.0 C? I forget now, but the big hot one from back before BMWs became yuppie prizes. Back in the 1600s and 2002tii days I like the Corvairs. too. All of them

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Right there with you. Have always loved the looks of the 65-69 corvair coupe. Of the earlier models, I think the van and trucks are the cool ones.

I came close to buying a 850 CI. I'm so glad that I didn't. There was a reason it was cheap. It scared me off. Plus I had kids and really did need 4 doors. So I bought a 740 iL. Which I regretted. Nice car....A very nice pile of sh++. 3.0 CSI 850 CI What can I say. It had a V12. I wanted a V12. And the 740iL that I ended up with. A tuna boat. It was nice if you had kids. (They could help push it) And the other one I passed on. Which I REALLY regret. My ex wife pitched a fit and I folded. In retrospect, I should have told her to shut her pie hole and bought it. It was brand spanking new and the dealer wanted to get it off the lot But she wanted a BMW. So we got a BMW. Rant off. Back to the Not Just El Camino's. Does anyone have some Grey Poupon?

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Yeah, it's a fear of the cost of upkeep that has kept me away from the 'Finer breed' of Euro cars. Just like a boat, I enjoy looking and riding in ones somebody else owns.
Nope, when it comes to mustard it's Woebler's Jalapeno!

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Interesting. History may not repeat but it rhymes. Next time I see a Sierraverado with a five foot bed I think that I will call it an El Camino.
Should a cross between a coupe and a pickup be called a pickoupe ??? If I convert my HHR to a pickup, will it be an El Charro ???

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
I love me some Jalapeno mustard. I'll have to try that Woeber's. (Hello Amazon!)
I like this stuff. I can eat it off a spoon. My boat really hasn't cost me too much money. But it looks like it. Poor thing. It's just been sitting at my other house getting hammered by the elements lately. I put a cover on it. But the wind got that. I really need to clean the old girl up and get another cover. It's a fun boat. One of these days. Ever see one of these? A Powell Sportwagon. Built in beautiful Compton California. (It really not all that beautiful I've been there).

Re: Pic Thread: Not Just El Caminos
Yeah, the same guy who designed the washing machine and the drier did the design on those. I think they're cool
I have one shelf on the door of my fridge dedicated to mustard. That Woebler's is old yeller with Jalapeners plain and simple. It goes on the burgers for me. There's a Poupon but the working class brand. There's the spicy deli, the creole, horseradishy, honey, and for sweet & hot it's Beaver! Prolly others, too. My mom said she's never seen so many condiments in one refrigerator. I said, "That's because I can't cook" Gotta love a Caddy. I always wanted a flower car. When do you ever see those for sale? That first Cadillac is a truck. Want to argue or just roll'em up and start to tusslin'?
