Can someone explain to me what the hell this is: http://books.google.com/books/about/...d=D7CwZpAjDNcC

It's some sort of book preview thing. Is this something wherein I can pay them money and they'll let me read the goddamn thing? Sometimes I freaking hate Google's apps, with their crappy "Oh, you can't tell how an app works, well too bad" mentally.

Nothing so sinister... well maybe... Basically it is exactly what it appears to be. Google has scanned in many many books and this allows their search engine to not only search the web but also books. Sometimes it can help you find info. It can also be good if you want to check out a book in more detail. Notice they have links to places where you can then buy the book...

Yeah, I'm mostly just venting. If I could buy the book, this service would be sweet. Otherwise, it's just kind of pointless.

Wow that red C2 does look nice. I guess the OEM profile shot doesn't do the car justice. I wish I appreciated old American cars more.

I hear you on that. I find most old cars to be completely underwhelming in terms of style. I appreciate the fact that people adore older cars, but I usually don't get it myself. Now, older cars with modern style, you got yourself a stew, my man.

The C4 is the only Vette I have absolutely no taste for.

The barbie vette is by far the worst! Still, even now that I own a C6Z06, I do not love the look of corvettes generally.

I don't have a lot of appreciation for the late C3 and C4. The LSR guys love the C4. See lots of them at Bonneville.
