Once I get my Volvo wagon, I'm going to become a famous rapper and change the automotive world for dumbasses that listen to rap. My dog had a dream about it last night and told the other one about it. And I'll be damnded if BOTH dogs didn't have the same dream!

Ever see a black bird carrying something shiny in it's beak???

Hmmm, anybody know of any gubment studies on this black/shiny phnomenon??? I'd be really interested in the read.

I've been pondering the correlation since I was not even born.

blackbirds, much like racoons, like shiny things. on a side note racoons also wash everything before they eat it. so if you give a racoon ice cream, he'll wash it and then be confused. lol

Hellooo?

Mustang 5.0 as made famous by Vanilla Ice.

DUH!

4/3/2007 10:05:01 AM

^^what the hell are you talking about? an 89 box chevy is not a g body.

4/3/2007 10:54:23 PM

^Yep. Short explanation for the underinformed:

g-body--'82 (I think?) to '88 cutlass, malibu, monte carlo, el camino, grand prix, bonneville, regal, caballero, etc. RWD large-midsize platform. Usually expanded to included '78 to '81 versions of above, which are technically a-bodies but are more or less the same.

"Box Chevy" - b-body. '77 to '90 fullsize GM in all its numerous variants.

I also take exception with people calling any old GM on big rims a Donk, when a Donk is actually an Impala (short for "donkey", referring to the impala emblem). Specifically a '71 to '76 (I think).

^try early 60s impala for the donk


or is that incorrect?

^^yep, dead on. gm had planned to kill off the a body in 82, but sales were so good they kept making them in certain lines and switched the name to g body.

the a body became a fwd platform that lasted through the mid 90's or so. i guess epsilon followed for the a names that remained?

in 89, the g body models transferred off to the w body. g body became a fwd platform.

^he's correct... the donk term came from the 70's impalas.

fwiw, bubble refers to the 91+ b body.

Makes sense, I was a little murky about the rationale for the re-lettering. Having owned both a '79 and an '82 Malibu, I can vouch for the fact that there ain't much difference, yet the '79 is an a-body and the '82 a g-body.

4/4/2007 12:12:19 AM

yep... most people will consider and call the g body from 78-88, but "technically" that's incorrect, even though most of the models that remained 82+ were basically mechanically identical. the re lettering was also a result of some downsizing and dropping of wagons.
