The Cars

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life,alt.config (More info?)

Is there any groups to discuss the cars? I love them, but I can't
find any groups.

A Toronado? What's that, like 400 hp with a frikkin 3 speed automatic?
What a plodder.
Hell, my VW beats that- 550 hp, 18 cylinders made by combining 3
6-cylinder motors, 4 wheel drive, 380km/hr top speed...

Well, yes, that does sound rather good! And I'd not say no if I were offered
one... ;o)

You think it's a car. I think it's a truck, disguised as a car.

I'll be honest. I'm jealous as hell but I can't afford beast like
that. Next to that, currently petrol in The Netherlands is about $1.40
a liter, you calculate.
I'm trying to scrape some cash together to get a new car to replace my
scrappy broken Cit. (I'll post pic's when I get to it)

Oh tell me about it. The only reason I don't cry myself to sleep at
night over the loss of my Toronado (a tragic tale in itself) is knowing
it got something like 8 - 10 MPG and gas is closing in on $3 a gallon
here...

It looks like a pregnant Mustang with a Dodge Ram grill stuffed into the
nose.... not all that much horsepower from such a huge V8 Hemi either
(350HP?! There's V6's that generate that!)...
Color me unimpressed.

Let's not get technical here, there's no real "engineers" around, despite

It is pretty cool, and this being Florida there's a shitload of things
to do in the time between dawn on the east coast and sunset on the west.
And they're all in almost a straight line. Grab breakfast and watch the
sunrise right outside of Cape Canaveral do the space tour thing, drive
almost due west and stop off at Disney, Sea World, MGM, the water parks
or any of the billions of touristy things in Orlando, have lunch, drive
due west again and hit Busch Gardens, watch the sunset, grab dinner and
then crash in a motel or just drive the two hours back to the east
coast... Best done in the LATE fall when it's cooler and most of the
tourists have gone home (and the parks/attractions are offering resident
discounts).

That's always seemed on the maybe interesting list to me. There was a
short-lived, one season I think, tv show about a family--all the kids
were adoptees--living/working on a Busch-like thingum.

B/
