We had a customer with an Austin America, her father put a bag of fertilizer in the trunk for traction, it’s front wheel drive! Austins being what they are leaked, she had a nice crop of mushrooms in the trunk!

Besides losing your legs in a crash those Econolines needed weights bolted to the rear to avoid nose stands in hard braking which I thought was amazing because Ford usually went cheap on brakes.

There will be an option for a catch bin that your Ford dealer will empty at the usual $ervice rate

This looks like a plan to sell a lot of aftermarket bras with another design on it.

That’s just wrong! In 1968 my Abarth’s door locks wouldn’t open in cold weather so I would leave the top unlocked and just fold it back and climb in. Only problem was I was working for Chevy then and took a lot of ribbing. My soon to be ex solved that problem :(

We had a co-worker get turned down for her cancer treatment because Mail Handlers Insurance said it was “experimental”

“ If they litigate every claim, they will end up losing half and winning half just on average. They would have wasted lots of money on lawyers, for no gains.”

We had a customer in North Brunswick NJ with one of these. He was a Honda motorcycle mechanic who had done a few things to his 600 that required a new 10,000 RPM tach :) It sounded like a siren coming down the road and under the window sill had a few German, British and American flags.  

I wanted a Vehicross but I had an Amigo with a couple hundred thousand miles on it. Other than eating brakes and exhaust it was pretty reliable and still passed emission test. The only reason I sold it was I did a lot of trips thru areas with little parts support and I was getting nervous.

My ex had a pretty little Karmann when I met her. Her commute to work was short, starting the VW used more juice than the drive to work would generate which lead to a lot of voltage regulator adjusting. Up during the week but turned down on days off when she drove farther.

Never mind the engine, the photo seems to show a 4 door hardtop :)

Maybe that’s my ex, she drove my new Corvair between those yellow concrete filled pipes in a parking lot, it almost fit :(

My daughter needed a small SUV because of the dirt road she lived on and the hour commute when she got off of it. We go to a Tom’s River, NJ Chevrolet dealer. Geo on lot with big 4X4 sign on it, on the test drive my daughter ask; Where’s the transfer lever? I look underneath, it’s 2 wheel drive!

I have seen this way too many times starting with exiting the pits at Bridgehampton Long Island in the 70's. A car towing two racecar trailers with Pa. plates which means going thru NYC and NJ where this isn’t a good idea much less legal.

In 1955 I told my father to buy a Nomad, he went for the 4dr wagon but later admitted I was right.

We had a judge of all people have a “nervous breakdown”, his lawyers words! When the Police arrived and asked if he had been drinking he said he would have the cops badge, that never gets you better treatment!

We have had this discussion before, there needs to be a wine truck following the ice cream man :) Just a touchy issue with the state about having open containers in the vehicle :(

Who knew that the Aston-Martin DB had a pop up spoiler, that had to be either a performance or 007 option!

At the dealership we used to joke about; The loose nut behind the wheel!

The Chevy dealer I worked for took the opposite approach, when someone walked into the showroom and said I’m shopping Corvette’s/Camaro or a Mustang/Shelby the salesman would show and price them Chevy’s and then tell them to go see me in the Part’s Department and I would show them my GT-350 knowing full well I’d have…
