I don't drive rice burners and I don't drive knock offs. That was a green Mustang, a 2003 model, iirc. Certainly it was the style from two generations ago, the model with the two rounded panels to the dash. I had that car for 3 or 4 years from new.

You should write for Penthouse Forum. That has to be one of the best starting lines in BE thread.

The imagery I'm getting from that statement is a real showstopper.

BTW..is a BJ on the 427 different from one on the 409 (a quick one), or 400 or a mere provincial highway.?

If you're actually in a car, wind chill isn't a factor (unless you are with dbd on the 427).

Neither of those actually, we have several cars that have heated seats. My daily driver is a PT Cruiser and I love it. In the very near future I will be driving something that has no heated seats, wind up windows and a cassette player. I'm pretty sure I will love that too.
