Chevrolet Chevelle

A car produced by Chevrolet from 1964-1977. The most desired years are from 1964 to 1972, with the first performance package being the 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 L78 coupe with the 396 Cubic Inch 4-Barrel Carburetor making 325 Horsepower as base, but with the optional 375 Horsepower version being available. If you don't count the SS 396 L78 coupe being the first performance package, there was the 250 Horsepower to 350 Horsepower 327 Cubic Inch 2/4-Barrel Carburetor V8 as an RPO Package (that made up to 350 Horsepower) L79.

The most powerful would eventually be the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS6 making 450 Horsepower and 500 Foot Pounds Of Torque. However, actual estimates put the Horsepower Count at around 500 Horsepower and Torque Count at around 550-570 Foot Pounds of Torque.

It would eventually decline after 1973, just like most American cars due to the 1973 Oil Embargo/Crisis, which was VERY unfortunate. However, it would truly decline in the 1990s-2000s.

Last of the Chivalrikans

refers to the very few present day men that still believe in and show chivalry towards women.

i went on a date last night with this amazing guy. He opened doors for me, pulled out my chair, and didn't even try to get any from me at the end of the night! He must be one of the last of the chivalrikans.

Sam's Club chiseler

A paid-up member of a “big box” warehouse who solicits his bargain-shopping privileges to other folks who have less-affluent lifestyles, and who therefore would wish to also purchase ordinary grocery/household items at bulk-package prices, but who either cannot comfortably afford the outrageously-steep membership-fees that the bulk-package warehouses charge, or who do not buy enough yearly volume to justify paying the fees. The problem, of course, is that the opportunistic member engages in "chiseling": he does not merely ask to be reimbursed just for his actual expenses in procuring the items for these lower-income folks --- i.e., the total amount of the purchased items plus the cost of any additional gas that he’d consume in the course of obtaining/delivering the purchases --- but also charges a hefty “shopper’s fee” for his “services”… yes, it would be an amount that’s still somewhat less than the total savings compared to what the items would have cost in a “regular” store, but still considerably more than the frugal-by-necessity folks for whom he’s shopping would have wanted to spend to obtain their items in the first place.

Members-only warehouses should quit charging such exorbitant fees to their paying customers --- it creates a fertile breeding-ground for Sam's Club chiselers.
