I've always wondered about the wisdom of naming a car after something a cop gives you after he catches you speeding!!
sigh, why couldn't they have brought this one back instead of the Mini. (the Mini's cool too, just not this cool)
I'd like my 2002 in a tii please.
Sigh. One of my big mistakes in life was not going the extra bucks for the tii in '73. Opted for the carbureted version instead. Still a great car though.
Anybody that laughed at these machines were apt to pipe down once they had a ride in one. 426hemi dual-quad bump.
He was not amenable to this line of reasoning, at all. This was back in the dark days of the Federally- Mandated-You-Will-Not-Go-Faster-Than-55MPH-On-Highways Designed-For-75-Lest-We-Withold-Your-Tax-Contributions. Thankfully, at least the 55MPH speed limit nonsense has since been rescinded.
The Yugo is the only car made which an Albanian will not steal.
And hey! I liked the AMC Gremlin. My ex-wife had one when we started dating and it was a really good car. No problems with it.
Yeah Baby, look at that pregant rollerskate, and it made a great terrarium. (Some would call it a Pinto that held its breath too long.) Though this might be a bit much:
Waynes World knew what a perfect 70's icon that beauty was. Truly a Pacer belongs in the auto hall of fame. How about a baby blue one with racing flames and a licorice dispenser?
Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
-to me-,
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away-
Mama, ooh ooh ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on, carry on,
as if nothing really matters-
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama, ooh ooh ooh-
I don't want to die,
Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all-
Carry on, carry on,
as if nothing really matters-
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the Fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightening-very, very frightening me-
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo
Gallileo figaro-Magnifico-
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He's just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life for this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-, will you let me go-
Bismillah! No-, we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let him go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go- oooh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no-
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,
for me-
for me-
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh Baby-Can't do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta right outta here-
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-, nothing really matters to me,
Anyway the wind blows...
I learned to drive in a 1974 Pitno station wagon. Then went from that to a 69 Cougar XR7 with a 351 Cleveland. Hehehe... That Cougar wasn't that great off the line, but punch it and it could beat any car around from 20 to 70 mph...
It always reminded me of the way a dog stands when taking a crap.
ROFL! The best description of the Seville I've ever read. Perfect.
Probably because the Taurus was the #1 best selling car for 5 or 6 years straight, which means few people would agree with you. I've never heard anyone who owned one complain about the quality.
I remember when we were teenagers my friends father bought a brand new Vega. We used to cram a bunch of freaks into it and drive around smoking pot and drinking beer.
It turned into a piece of crap so fast it was unbelievable.
His father sold it to him for $1 when it was a year old. LOL
I see you had one too. Driving from Columbus to Athens in a snowstorm was...was... well you couldn't call it boring!
