Aiiiiyy.... now you make my brain hurt. HOW does PONTIAC = MOPAR ????

[cegerer]

Pontiac, Mopar, Ford, whatever ..... Anybody notice that the average Solstice driver is a 60-70 year old white male with a baseball cap? I wonder if that was GM's target market.

Really? I'd have guessed hairdressers.

I dont know who, if any one else owns Alfa/Romeo, but If you think the pontiac/saturn thingy look good, check out the Opel GT

Many interesting things about this shot. Most notable to me is the lack of safety wear at what is clearly a dedicated event (barriers, fences, etc.). What venue allows for such stupidity?

I'm sure the follow up shots are very hard to look at.

This is only a couple of weeks old, taken during a recent exercise. The beauty of the whole thing is that they never saw us coming. Having that kind of power over an aircraft carrier is a real ego trip.




We were close enough to get the below shot without being spotted.

WOW!

[goldgunner]

What about the (several?) subs running screen for the carrier and its group? How did they miss you?

What's the story on the Kharmann(?) ? Restoration or hot rod? That is the one additional German car I've half a chance of getting my wife to sign on for, she loves 'em.

Good question. When the other US boat gets back in, I plan on dropping by to figure out where they were. My suspicion is just that they were in the wrong piece of water -- we can be pretty tough to find, when we want to be. The same is true of the other US boat, BTW -- we had no contact with her the entire exercise.

It's an April '56 Karmann Ghia I picked up back in May for $1500. It was 95% complete, only missing soft stuff like seat covers, door panels and headliner.

I'm finding that these early (aka "lowlight") ghias are not for the faint of heart or wallet to restore - at lot of funky one or two year-only stuff.
