It's an Avanti. They were originally made by Studebaker in the early 1960's and I used to own a '63. After Studebaker went out of the car making business Avanti's have been made by a private concern with a break of about ten years.

Mine is an '02. It has a Corvette LS1 engine that's been slightly massaged and I believe puts out in the neighborhood of 400 horses now from a standard rating of 345 when new. When I bought it I could have gotten one that was supercharged and was rated at close to 550 hp, but wasn't worth the extra cost to me. I've had to install a shock tower brace and performance Panhard Rod under the rear end as the engine now can tax the chassis. I'd hate to think about what 550 hp can do...besides I won't have anything my wife can't safely handle.

Starting in '05 Avanti's come with Ford 4.6 power...a move backwards in my view.

If you're more interested, go to <www.avantimotors.com> for the factory's website.

How the hell does a single or mass amount of people effect the change of such a snow storm? If you honestly think Bush cna go out there with a stop sign and yell, "Hey, I'm the president of the USA! Stop snowing on my people of the East!" Then something is wrong with you....

 

For the most part Bush has his faults, I'd rather have Clinton as a Dynasty... Although I hate Hillary. But I heard Giuliani is running in 2008!!!! Yes, I'm 18! I ge tto vote for Giuliani. You know as much as people say "Clinton was the best president ever" then why the hell did you impeach him? Just because he was getting his freak on like 90% of the USA population doesn't make him any different

WOW! Somebody drank too much coffee today!

I believe everyone was just having some fun! It is not to be taken seriously!

It does seem that President Bush is blamed for everything! Rightfully so for the decisions he has made, such as Iraq. (My youngest son served in the Infantry patroling Baghdad last year with honor and I support the troops, the effort and the President). But for God's sake how does he get blamed for things he has no control over, such as the weather!

The press and liberal polititions just want to tear down someone that is trying to do something! History will decide if his decisions have been right or wrong!

This all started with a humorous fake report that I found very funny! I just added my two cents with an attempt at more humor!

I believe that the report makes fun of the press and not President Bush!

Vettes rule! Save the wave!!!!!

Yeah I know its in good fun. But I think that the people that seriously blame him for stupid stuff, it makes the country go backwards. I'm going to start to write a book that un-preaches kevin trudeau's natural healing garbage. Hes making people be so scared of medicines that they won't take robotuson! And he makes the Governemnt appear to be lying scum bags, whow nat to kill of their citizens. Also people rely too much on Celebrities and their BS Scientology. I am a WOG through, and through when it comes down to it. I think everyone needs to watch the internet TV show 'Patrolling' http://patrolling.rantmedia.ca/ We can learn a lot, and this is how I learned to think for myself, and not be brainwashed. THis si a guy everyone should be listing to, not Tom Cruiz, b/c he's a millionair and believes we're all alien spirits or wtvr.... new77guy38762.6098148148

I agree that people that blame everything on the President (regardless of who is in office) makes the country go backward!

We all have to take personal responsibility for our own decisions and actions. The problem is that most people blame someone else for their poor decisions and they will not take any personal responsibility. We have become a society of people that think: Someone else owes them something for nothing, and that has replaced: No one owes you anything and if you want it work for it! The latter is the way I was raised!

All people should learn to think for themselves and make their own decisions independently. I do not know who Sean Kennedy is or what a WOG is, but I do not and did not need him to learn to think independently for myself.

A person must listen to both sides of an arugment to find the truth! It is always somewhere in the middle! Both parties tell their side from their perspective and are therefore jaded. I don't care who it is no one is objective!

This thread was all ment in fun and I am sure that no one ment to offend anyone. I know I sure did not!

As far as Bill Clinton goes, I went to High School with his brother Roger and I could tell you stories about that family. Poor white trash is good description of their family. Needless to say I did not ever vote for Bill. The problem with him was not the sex, it was the fact that he lied under oath to a Federal Grand Jury. He was guilty of that and lost his law license for it! That is one of the things that makes him such a bad President. Our court system is based on honesty and when the highest legal authority soils that we all lose!

Be wary about believing everything some one else says, especially on the internet! They all have an agenda!

Damn! This thread was really funny this morning! Oh well!

Vettes still rule! And for God's sake, save the wave!

Good post John. I agree with just about everything you said. However, I still believe Sean Kennedy can help society. A WOG is someone who thinks tactifully, and independantly. Also someone who is opposed to Scientology. Whent he world ends, whose going to save you... the celebrity scieltologists? No, money will get you know where... fame won't get you anywhere. Survival tactics will. Thats what Sean teaches, he preaches the way things used to be, and should be. And the good thing is, he practices what he preaches. He isn;t a hipocryte. I cant wait until my book is done....

News flash from Jesus Land (that is Michael Moore calls us):

When this world ends it is and will be Jesus Christ and not Sean Kennedy that will save me! He can save you too! Trust in Christ Jesus and not Sean. I know who Jesus is but not who Sean is! NO MAN CAN SAVE YOU!

I don't want to be preachy but no man is worthy, or of being followed blindly! Sciencetology is a bunch of bull and those folks are lost!

I think we agree more than disagree! Continue to be a self thinker and not a follower of a man and you will one up on most people in this misguided world! Most people follow blindly, we must be leaders and not just followers!

This forum is not really the place to discuss these things! It is for C3 Vettes and Vette Enthusiast or just plain fun! Let's have some fun!

Vettes rule! Save the wave!

I apologize to everyone for my bit of a tirade earlier. As already said, this thread was supposed to be humorous and it got way off track.

I guess when it comes to the subject of our last President, I'm sometimes unable to hold my feelings. We're now paying the price for some of his failings...both personal and official.

Sorry again, everyone.
