I'm still butthurt that the G8 Camino never happened.

Oh, but it did. Just not in the American market, you'd have to travel to Australia to get one. It was the Holden SS Ute: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Ute

God drat! Tommy Lee Jones looked like a caveman in the 80's. Some people really do get better with age. Oh yeah, I was supposed to focus on the cars huh.. :eng99:

My parents had a Chris Craft Capri when I was growing up and every year from 8th grade to my senior year in high school I had the pleasure of scraping/sanding/filling screw holes/refinishing the bottom. All I see there is a maintenance nightmare gently caress wood boats in their sorry asses. That boat alone turned me off of ever wanting to own a boat in my life.

My grandparents had a fiberglass cabin cruiser, which wasn't so bad maintenance wise, just had to scrape and paint the hull every year but at the marina their boat was hosed at there were a few pretty big cris crafts and the amount of money/time those things take to keep in shape is ridiculous. Would never own a wooden boat unless I was a millionaire.

My parents got a fiberglass cabin cruiser a few years after I moved out, they're close to AARP age now and they just got probably their last cabin cruiser until they get too old to be bothered with boating anymore.
To answer a question earlier, the reason we took care of it is because my dad is a hands on type person. He grew up in the poor part of a lovely town and woodworking was something he enjoyed as a hobby. When he wasn't doing his regular business tell people what to do and when thing, he was woodworking and a Chris Craft was in his eyes the crown jewel of wood working/restoration. I didn't do all the work myself, obviously the first 2-3 years I did everything along side him until he was comfortable enough to let me do a side and he did the other. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind doing some wood/restoration work myself, but not exercises in futility such as what a boat in the delta is.
