1969 Plymouth Valiant sedan, with a Slant Six. The very definition of a generic “ordinary car”, but tough and reliable.
The local rock station (98KUPD Arizona) did this with Grave Digger years ago. The morning DJ did it to their corporate boss. Some years later, the boss got him back with Bounty Hunter. Both recordings were hilarious.
When I was much younger, I lived and worked in the UK for a couple of years, and a friend of mine had a bright red 2CV. We lived and worked in the Lakes District, and I was always amazed at how quickly you could throw that car around the corners of those winding roads. It always looked (and often felt) like it was…
l’d like to hear more about the meatloaf before making my final decision.
As a courilary: my dad owns a 1966 C2, which he bought second hand from an F-4 phantom pilot in 1969 (it still has a set of Navy pilot wings on the dash, and an F-4 patch decal on one of the windows).
A couple. Well... a few.
Can’t believe I’m doing this, but here goes: the car is a ‘76 Chevrolet Laguna S-3. Yeah, full on malaise era GM crap, but just LOOK at it! The interior was a dark red cloth, nothing luxurious but it did have a/c and power windows. Stock 350/3 speed auto, so not a hot rod. This pic was taken in ‘86 while I was in…
I had a 1977 Mercury Monarch (wait, don’t start it yet, hear me out), yes the upscale Granada. It was a 2 door model, 302 V8, and I bought it from its original owner, an old lady in her 90's, for $150 in 1990. It had 41,000 original miles at that point. It was green, normally I HATE green cars, but this was a nice…
He’s an idiot but honestly he’s pretty much doing what it was designed to do. It’s like getting mad at someone who popped bubble wrap.
Let us remember this latest Bowling Green massacre.
The Neon wasn’t really a rebadged AMC product. That was thoroughly Chrysler (although obviously former AMC engineers worked on the car too), unlike say the LH cars.
Years of listening to Wide World of Sports, Stock Car Racing in the 70's, any motorsport in the 70's! and Indy 500's immediately made me recognize the voice.

Enthusiasts: We want manual transmissions
Manufacturers: Here ya go, but its only on the base spec with the lowest performance and the least desirable drive configurations. Also, none of our dealer will stock them, and you can’t have them with any of the options that approach some level of luxury or performance.

Frankly, I can’t miss what I didn’t have. I never knew this race existed, and it won’t kill me if I continue life ignorant of it.
Is it just me or does anyone else hate it when a video is suddenly put in slow motion. Maybe I’m just impatient..
My inner history geek is doing flips.
Hey remember that time enthusiasts bitched for small, light, RWD, cheap cars and said they’d all buy them, then Subaru and Toyota put one out, and then they didn’t sell that well?
