In one word...VERY. Out of all the forums I peruse, the Caprice is one of the busiest. When you sign on to the site and go to a forum, the threads in bold have had activity since you were last logged on. That can be a good indicator as to the activity or posting level of a certain forum.

Just look at the dates on teh previous topics.

It's really active and you probably haven't gotten an answer because people haven't gotten home yet. :confused:

No, it's pretty vacant here, and any activity you see in here is a Fig-Newton of your imagination. :)

that thing really seemed to have a lot of trouble with bumps.
typical under damped suspension i guess.
with my 9c1 shocks and standard springs, it feels like a typical modern 2dr car.

I kinda like threads like this once in a while, has absolutely nothing to do with the section it's in, and is just a sorta goof-off spot.

That Caprice video... cool. Still had that '80s style introduction lol. I'm suprised that a car as big as it is, is capable of nearly 30 MPG.

I agree with you on both pete, we should have just an off topic thread to b.s. around in. i like the retro look of the vid too, i'd like to see a review video like that with box caprices, im sure theres ones out there somewhere from the stoneage :iceslolan

I've been trying to find 80's caprice professional videos since I got into this car. There must be some commercials or something? I've seen some cool ads in old National Geographic magazines and some others. But I really wish I could find a Chevrolet commercial archive from the 80's.

heres a commercial from the 70s introducing the new style for the 1977 caprice, close but i still wanna see an 80s one http://youtube.com/watch?v=2D7IrUgNi4M

Man, I liked the interior of that one.... it's like a mix of the boxy we're used to and early '70s chevrolet cars. I like things like the steering wheel, trim around the door handle, and for some reason the back seat looks more comfortable.

I remember seeing that commercial back in the '70s :lol: The guy who is in the video (Jerry Orbach) was in Law & Order from it's inception until he passed away in 2004.

I was a big fan of his on the show from the beginning. I still watch all of the franchises of the series, but my favorite is the original series he was in.

It could be possible, other forums on this site have their own off topic section. Send a PM to Blue Bowtie or Shortbus, the assigned Mods to this subforum and request it. The worst they could say is "No."
