I think a RAIV Judge is superior to both. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] </div></div>

The RAIV Judge is superior in what way? Is it the cheezy decal stickers or the notoriously fragile bottom end of the RAIV 400 Pontiac engine or is it both? RM [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Cheezy decal stickers? Guess your not a fan of Road Runners or Super Bees or most other muscle cars. What do YOU own, oh stuck up one? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

&quot;One Adam 12, One Adam 12, we have an overreaction on page 3 of this thread.&quot;

The little emoticon on the end of RM's posting identifies this as a sarcastic jab, but all in good FUN. The modern musclecar market obviously prefers the stick on, groovy fun of Judge stripes and emblems, but let's not get too serious here. The Pontiac marketing folks were obviously playing fast and loose when they lifted that moniker from &quot;Laugh-In&quot;, right?

It comes across like you are putting down this car for some reason. Strange thing to do escpecially in a thread that was started specifically to share the car with everyone.

Not sure how you'd infer I'm putting the car down when I never solicited a negative opinion, especially considering I own a similar car. Someone stated he also liked the LS6 ragtop, and I merely stated I like the Judge best of all.

I must have misread the post. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I think it's just preference, eh? Personally I like the Mopar B-bodies. We all like different cars though so I'm not criticizing. Coming up at Mecum, this is Dark Gold Metallic (which makes it pretty rare), and it's a Hemi! I'm not against Oldsmobiles, but Hemis were in a different league.
