Hating on the hood ornaments... I think I am younger than you guys, and I still love hood ornaments. Makes me think I am driving a fighter jet... Just need to line them up in the hood ornament... and WAM! 5-10 points. Depending if they get up and walk away or not.
I miss the square bow tie ornaments the late squarebodies had. Anybody remember the tell tale fender lights? They should make a come back too. And wing windows...

now that i look at it closer, ( not by much) i originally thought it was from a caddy, and that just dont work for me. but if it is actually a bowtie then it isnt so bad.

Welcome and congrats on the purchase. It must certainly turn a few heads in Sweden!


You poor SOB....those gas prices are brutal! You have to start thinking in SPGs (Smiles Per Gallons....or SPLs in your case) rather then fuel efficiency. Because theire isn't any fuel efficieny with these things! LOL.

I learned to braze by making an old school ring gunsite to put on the dash of my first car.

I have to do something =)
if u want to compare.
The tahoe tank is 99 liters, thats 26 gallons. that would be 1652 swedish kronors to fill up. 1652 swedish kronors is about 189 dollars.. So full tank 189 dollars :) :)
