Replying to: alpha1517 (Oct 25, 2006 12:01 pm) "anybody up for a 40th anniversary Plymouth Roadrunner??"   Before the hi po Chargers die out the second time, I still think we're going to see a special, limited edition Charger Daytona "Superbird" (yeah I know, mixing the brands, but) edition, complete with towel rack spoiler and aero nose...

Replying to: john_324 (Oct 25, 2006 12:53 pm) Actually they don't even have to mix names up. In 1969 the Dodge Charger Daytona WAS the one with the nose cone and giant wing. I think the 1970 Plymouth Superbird is the one everyone remembers though, because they built about 4 times as many (~2000 versus ~500)   I've read that the drag coefficient on those winged monsters was 0.28...lower than most cars made today!

Replying to: andre1969 (Oct 26, 2006 5:56 am) I've always heard that the spoiler was as high as it was for the sole reason of the driver being able to fully open the trunk...is that true? Replies to this message: andre1969 (Oct 27, 2006 8:02 am)

#344 of 349 2000 "American Online buys Time Warner for $165 billion" by playdrv4me Nov 26, 2006 (7:16 am)
This is incorrect in that the reverse actually occured. TIME WARNER (in a less than enlightened move I might add) purchased America Online (not American) Inc. in 2000.   BTW... I Agree with the LS400 recommendation for 1990... however if the introduction year of the vehicle is the only one that can be counted, than the Miata still probably had a bigger impact on ITS market segment for its intro year, than did the LS. Also the LS is well... as exciting as watching tree sap. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 26, 2006 7:57 pm) terry92270 (Nov 27, 2006 10:08 am)

Replying to: playdrv4me (Nov 26, 2006 7:16 am) No.. I think it was right the first time.. AOL bought Time Warner... After the sale they called it AOL/Time Warner.... Until it became obvious that AOL's business model was unsustainable, and they dropped the AOL portion of the name.   regards, kyfdx
#346 of 349 Re: 2000 "American Online buys Time Warner for $165 billion" [playdrv4me] by terry92270 Nov 27, 2006 (10:08 am)
Replying to: playdrv4me (Nov 26, 2006 7:16 am) Kyfdx is quite correct.   Ask just about anybody which Internet merger of the boom era was the worst, and they’ll say AOL’s acquisition of Time Warner.
#347 of 349 Saw a funny advertisement today by xwesx Dec 07, 2006 (12:51 pm)
On the forums, from Edmunds: "The Most Significant Cars from the Past 40 Years.... new cars added each week."   Is that called being fashionably late, or just missing the boat?
#348 of 349 Significant Vehicle Summary by m6vx Feb 27, 2007 (5:26 am)
By my tally, Dodge led all makes with 6 and DaimlerChrysler led all manufacturers with 12.   12 DaimlerChrysler (9 Chrysler Group / 3 Mercedes Group)  5 Ford  5 GM  4 Toyota  4 Nissan  3 Honda  3 BMW  2 Mazda  1 Porsche  1 VW  1 Mitsubishi   The PT Cruiser was a Plymouth in 2001. It became a Chrysler after Plymouth was discontinued in (I think) 2002.
