Re: Let's talk about cars

I bought a new, canary-yellow Formula 400 Firebird in 1972 (price about $3,600 + tax). It looked great, was powerful, fast and handled quite well, considering it only had belted bias-ply tyres. One...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Re: Let's talk about cars

That nice rumbly sound in a '38 Ford p/u? Either a large, powerful modern V-8...or a dodgy, if well-tuned, exhaust system.:lol::lol:

Re: Let's talk about cars

I want one. Too bad I can't afford it.

But if I had it, wouldn't I be terrified that on a perfectly beautiful soft summer afternoon, while driving it on a lovely curving road, some cretin in a...

Maybe that used car was traded in for a very good reason?:ohmy:

Re: Let's talk about cars

I loved my Tesla so much I left the Grand Cherokee at home. Forgot, they don't have any charging stations where the Oiks live. The bearded gap-toothed guy breaks into a big grin, nudges his buddy...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Of course they won't. Fact is the rest of us have to subsidize the price of the car via tax breaks for the rich who are buying them. Although, at $35k, even Everyman could afford one and then...

Re: Let's talk about cars

At that speed you would be a bloody nuisance on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Even driving on the congested Rte. 22 through the Lehigh Valley, traffic runs 75+ (55 mph limit) except during the rush...

Re: Let's talk about cars

True, but you get fired at by an irate motorist. Road rage is a constitutional right, not a privilege in this land.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Some years ago Pennsylvania amended its traffic laws to permit passing left lane traffic using the right lane. So here it's legal. This change was initiated by a member of the Pennsylvania Senate...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Here's traffic on Meskel Square, the busiest intersection in Addis Ababa. No traffic lights, no lines, no cops controlling. And it works!

Re: Let's talk about cars

As long as teeny-tiny cars are being remembered, I remember with great fondness the NSU 1000 TTS competition model in Germany back in 1968 that I got to drive. It was an absolute hoot, and could...

He wanted to see the older, butch-looking MKII with the four enormous auxiliary (Cibie's, not Lucas, "The Prince of Darkness") headlamps), not that fancy-pants yellow thing you conjured up.:eek:

Re: Let's talk about cars

In 1966 a friend and I drove a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 across the country. I've owned other sports cars, but to me this was the pinnacle of affordable real-world sports cars.
