Did you see them flog the nice Regal last night? Looked to be about a 1983 model, gold in color, wire wheels w/whitewall tires. Shame they do a lot of their tests on G-bodies!

yeah i saw it, but you have to remember they are based in southern california and g-bodies are a dime a dozen there and cheap as hell, so they buy whats cheap and pleantiful. in socal you cant turn a corner without seeing a g-body.

When i lived in CA and AZ we had a saying all of the g-bodies go to CA and AZ to die and get turned into lowriders or donks! which seems to be true nowdays

I used to live in Vegas and go to So-Cal a few times a year and I didn't see hardly any g-bodies (except for the ones you would occasionally see in the hood). But I see TONS of them here in TN .... driving, sitting, parking, etc. I think there is a greater number of G-body's around in the southeast than the southwest IMHO. :?

Well it's not like a 1980s Honda or Toyota would last ten seconds!

They have ruined a few nice cars on there. There was that 79(?) Cutlass, the 67 Plymouth Fury III, and a early 70's Toyota Corona that almost made me cry. I forgot the 70's Caddy too. However, I wouldn't mind if they used Chevy Celeberties and their clones (or the forgettable Ford Tempo/Topaz twins). Those things deserve death for their unyielding mediocrity.
