New Car!

[dedalos]

i got a question for ya.

 are you beetl1 from over at fw? 

 abs's main function is to dig you out of deep kaka once you've dug yourself into it.

Haha, no, but you know you screwed up on that one.  You just wont admit it.   

I also have two daughters that will be getting out there in a few years, so I was really interested to know why they cannot do some things.  It would make it easier to explain it to them if I had an experts opinion (you know, like you).  But I guess you are walking away quietly from that one

Penguin ... have your Mom check out the Toyota Rav 4.

 to be honest, if you take the time to teach them.....they'll be more capable than about 90% of the other drivers out there. i don't have anytrhing against women drivers. i simply say what i see. and i forgot to mention that i saw that when i worked for a company that did township and state police towing. most accidtents i towed were women......but nearly ALL of the DUI's i towed were men.

yea....i remember my grand pops.......0 to 60 in the time it took to eat lunch. 

 my sarcasm was aimed at the guy saying that pintos only came with 4 cylinders.

Although ...5.0 will drop in easy.

[Penguin]

Uh...Pintos didn't have a six. Just a four.

My dad told me of the 'Pinto Fireball', there were bumper stickers that said:

I live for today, I drive a Pinto
or
Ford. Pinto. Fireball.

He would try to discourage tailgaters as much as he could, because he that he wasn't in a car, he was in a bomb on wheels.

I believe only the wagons with the small bubble windows on the back had the V-6.

Those have to be valuable now.

They could switch over to the "Gremlin" ... now that was a car.

Heck nooooo.... now AMC Pacer all the way for the win!

there's a guy around here that brings a gremlin "x" out every summer. wanna get embarrassed? find one, and go race against it. 

[Dragon]

Why are you discussing Pinto's?

True, should we move on to the Vega again?

I was working at Ford during those times.  The 3 door hatch came with an optional V6.  The same V6 that powered the Mustang II.  That was around 1975'ish.

Well since this topic has obviously rolled way off topic, I thought I'd just let Penguin know that the Audi A4 is the #1 choice among gay men. Not that there is anything wrong with that....just saying. You can google it and verify this fact.
