LOL.
If there's one thing this nation needs, it's bigger cars ...............ping
Boy! DID he have insight! This was before Hummers, yes?
We need bigger motorcycles.
nice........... like those training wheels.
Hummers have been around a while, but this was before they became popular.
I haven't seen a hummer since I got married.
The entire auto industry is sinking due to high fuel costs.
Auto is one of the early indicators of economic change.
The auto industry surged from 2001 to 2003 as the economy recovered.
How many of you out there bought a new car in 2001, 2002, 2003 or 2004?
The market is being choked off because of the rising interest rates and especially because of the soaring cost of oil.
Pretty funny article, but I don't have any trouble pulling into tight parking spaces or backing out of them in my wifes suburban, and neither does she for that matter.
If Dave ever drove a Suburban, he would throw rocks at anything else, including the newer so called luxury cars like the Ford Grand Marquis we traded in on the Suburban.
The Suburban rides smoother, hauls everything you need and still has ample room for the kids. About every other time I'd slide into that Grand Marq, I'd bust my shin on the dashboard.
The Suburban is probably the greatest family vehile ever made and it's kind of hard to argue that when you look at how succesful it has been even though it is one of the pricier vehicles on the market. But as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
" ... you get yourself a 1973 AMC Gremlin."
Don't laugh. I had a '74 Gremlin and took it with me when I got military orders in 1978 to a Navy communications station we used to have on Australia's west coast. That Gremlin took me anywhere in the Outback I wanted to go (though I never took it on beach sand).
The Gremlin -- ahead of it's time!
sorry, I laughed.
"The Gremlin -- ahead of it's time!"
Guess that makes you a man ahead of his time.
Sometimes I miss my old superbeetle
"I haven't seen a hummer since I got married."
That's nice. Does your wife read FR?
He's right on. What I want to know is why men put huge tires on little trucks.
Yes, March 21, 1999 .... the Twin Towers were still standing, West Texas Intermediate crude was $14.75/bbl (3/22/99) and the Hummers people were getting exercised about were the ones Bubba Bill had gotten in the Oval Office.
It seems like a billion years ago!
Hummers have been popular since, well, since forever!! :-)
The subs are a nice rid but not as smooth a ride as my 1956 Buick Roadmaster.
Well, I don't think Sunday is appropriate to have that discussion.
