@Novaload: Hey now, in the 1970s it was really only the Japanese that were making chrome-less cars. Americans held out until... 1992, when Ford introduced a face-lifted, monochromatic (and chrome-less) Ford Tempo. The three-bar chrome visage was no more, but hey, in '05 the Fusion resurrected the Tempo's timeless…
This is so much better then anything Nissan makes right now. #1975
@If FromaBuick6 has to watch one more Chevy commercial, he's going to punch Howie Long in the face: I'm not going to argue that Ford build quality in the 1980s wasn't that great.. But I will argue that GM wasn't much better. Or equal. Actually, I think they were worse built. Especially towards the close of the decade…
@pauljones: Camry, Accord, Maxima, Celebrity. Think man. What do all four of those automobiles have in common? They aren't Fords. Really, the only good designs to come out of the 1980s were from the hand of Ford and Chrysler designers. GM the Japanese could suck it with their appliances. That's not to say I wouldn't…
I love it. Just look at that fake dashboard stitching! The 1980s were truly a great decade for automotive design; inside or out. #1980s
Man, I don't think I've ever seen an IH Scout in real life. #internationalharvester
Manual seat belts. I vision a future, a bright future, full of automated seat belts that buckle the driver and front passenger in without any extra exertion from said driver and passenger. #qotd

@Buster Brew: Correction: Last two. 1986 Taurus, 1984 Tempo, 1983 Thunderbird, and the Fox Body Mustang. #fordf150svtraptor
I can accept all of this except the discontinuation of the Jeep Patriot and the Dodge Caravan. Especially the Caravan, which has been the only worthwhile product in the Dodge lineup since the pre-Benz days. #chryslerfiat
Congrats to the workers at Ford, the last man standing.
@heavylee-again: So, ten years ago now my dad bought a brand new Ford. That Ford now has over 270,000 miles on all original parts save for a clutch replacement.
@Novaload: Nikiski, AK. On the Kenai Peninsula. There are three kinds of people who inhabit these regions; Angry Natives, Rednecks, and Rich Ass Lower 49ers who have the money to have '67 Camaros in their AK summer homes. Alternatively, there is the lower class of the Rich Ass Lower 49ers who live year round in AK,…
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Oh snap. #lutzvssiler
