So the 09 won the crash test. Let"s compare the two on the basis of style, beauty, and roominess. The Chevy was a gorgeous work of classic American big-car style and appearance with lots of chrome. It could cruise down the highway like it was riding on air, and you could hardly feel bumps in the road. The seats were spacious enough to seat 3 in the front, 3 in the back. Now look at the 09. It"s essentially a chromeless example or clone of an Asian cheapo with little tires and a short wheelbase and tiny steering wheel. While driving one, you feel every bump in the road, and they have a stiff, choppy ride compared to the 59. The newer cars are all butt-ugly with their plastic bumpers and trapezoid grilles and trunk lines, silver spoke wheels, and side mirrors mounted where window glass is supposed to be. Compared to driving a 50s or 60s full-size Chevy, driving a newer car feels like eating off a paper plate. I appreciate the crash-worthiness of newer cars, but it"s too bad they all have to look like one another, shaped like jelly beans, the Asian look. And all those spoilers on little cars look hideous. It used to be that a car didn"t get a spoiler unless it earned one at the drag strip or at the oval. Long live the 50s and the 60s!

Just my opinion from someone who"s owned and driven cars from the 30s to the present.

It's sad to see what's happened to Cadillacs too. Now they're trying to be like European sport sedans with their stiff, harsh rides and ugliness. And they're called luxury cars? Drive an elegant 76 Sedan de Ville and you'll find out what a luxury car feels like.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
