LOL @Gomig-21

Somebody in China is has been driving a 1995 3.8V6 Firebird convertible for 25 years!.

Funny he should mention "Spaceship". That was what my neighbor called my '94 and it turned heads.

I pre-ordered mine from a sketch. That's all I had.

This is what a Corvette looked like back then BTW.
Hmm twice the cost and a boring look.

Americas section still has Obama's image. I think it's high time we get that changed. Any suggestions?

LOL @Gomig-21

That is pretty crazy cool, though. The only Transam in all of China that we know of anyway and it's a 94 automatic 6 cylinder. Pretty cool.

Wow, the hatred and craziness around here is going to a new level it seems. Oof. Anyway, happy Labor Day Weekend to you and yours and all our American friends.

Actually it's not even a Formula nevermind a TransAm. It's the base model. The backend is not from any 1995 model. The front end also has bulging turn signals and ugly big "lip" under the plate line which came later.. The 3800v6 came out in I believe 1998 too.

No body panel "lip" in 1995

lower lip scoop

Abuse for 7 years for me.

You too. Maybe I can get some stuff done.

lol you're right, it's just a basic Firebird really. I guess you gotta give whomever tweaked it credit as I doubt it was an easy thing to do in China being the only one there! lol

Don't know how you do it, bro. Long breaks in between is the only way to deal with crap like this.

Just saw this bit of sad news and you know this is not the only place getting the crud end of the stick because of this pandemic, but one of many.

The Fours Restaurant & Sports Bar has permanently closed after forty-four years on Canal Street in Boston. The Boston location was voted the best sports bar in the United States by Sports Illustrated in 2005.

44 years in business and it either couldn't manage the financial burden caused by this pandemic (which you wouldn't think would be the case with a place like this) but it just goes to show you this damn virus has disrupted and flipped heads from every type of business. My guess is the monthly rental is what killed a place like this. Those little booths in Faniuel Hall pay something like 12K a month in rent for one of those blocks. That's a lot of stuffed grape leaves dinners or sausage sandwiches!!!! Can you imagine what this outfit pays a month for that place?

That's terrible. A small startup company I worked for even had their Holiday Party on the second floor.

Unfortunately they are located almost across the street from the Garden so it was a nice hangout spot before and after games along with The Harp (although The Harp had a FAR rougher crowd). However the Garden is closed it is too far from Faneuil Hall for its foot traffic to save them.

It's definitely sad and you feel for these owners and what one probably saw as a classic business that the family was going to pass on to at least the next generation anyway. My wife says this is a natural realignment of things. As sad and as rough as that sounds, I think she's onto something.

Well I went to school with someone who is an owner/partner of 5 or 6 very popular restaurants/bars in Boston. Not sure how the closings are affecting him but he's pretty well off financially (and he was bad student in school). His name/picture appears in the Boston Globe from time to time at pricey fund raisers/galas.

That's cool. It's been tough for A LOT of people and businesses there's no doubt about it. But did this summer go by super fast for you too? It seems like it flew by for this kid I can't even remember what we did for June and July?! You would've thought with all the places closed up or restricted and less activities all around would've made things go by slowly, but it felt like this summer just blew by faster than any other before. Strange.

Things like this are going to ruin everything

What we know about COVID-19 cases at Boston College

Following an uptick in coronavirus cases last week, Boston College will now have its contact tracing handled by state officials as concerns grow about the institution’s ability to sufficiently test for and contain the contagious virus. The team of tracers takes over the reins this week, setting...
