It’s cool.  It’s not 5 grand cool.  Crack.

Cute.  So are Muppets.  Pointless.  So are Muppets.  You’ve utterly defined a new category - Muppet Journalism.  *hat tip* - Happy New Year!! 

20 miles is NOT a long commute. There’s simply not enough miles here to mathematically justify a different, newer or more expensive car. But if you just want a new car, go get one. The Accord 6MT is a particularly good choice - *source* - I put 175K miles on one myself, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and was my wife/kids

IDK man - it’s got such a weird architecture, you’d have to basically do a full restomod build - leaving only the body. 

Don’t buy this to flip - you’ll lose your ass. Having built a 66 bird with a buddy, I’d say the juice ain’t worth the squeeze here - even when you’re done, you’ve gota 65 TBird, which is not much fun to drive, chews up all your garage space, and is a bitch to resell. These cars are HEAVY - they weigh more than an F150

That’s more crack pipe than the Tempo from earlier this week. Y’all gotta be high off of some old dirty foot hash if you vote NP on this.

 a 3 door no less.

the leather seats in the GMQ were garbage compared to the LTC.  Close, but no cigar.  *source*  owned both a 2004 Ultimate GMQ and a 2004 Ultimate LTC.  Not even close.

you don’t notice the accidents because there’s hardly anyone with insurance and nobody is stopping to ‘exchange information’ anyway - so people drive to NOT get hit (or hit stuff).  When they do, they just move on sort of as a ‘cost of doing business’ kind of mentality.

I’m 50, born in 69. I’ve had several Panthers and still own an 09 Vic P71 Marauder clone with about 230 on the clock.. The Town Cars were the best up to over 300K on the clocks (former livery cars mostly). The Grand Marquis were the worst. The Vic’s were all between awesome and garbage - none bought new. The Deltas -

life is cheap in Mexico - sadly.  But the traffic does move better than the gridlock it would be otherwise if stop signs were stopped at instead of being considered a ‘yield’.

most interesting thing in that video, to me anyway, was the movement of the other components in the car - watch the headlights and the fuel tank! 

stop signs, or stop lights are mere suggestions in Mexico.  It’s a weird thing if you’re used to the (relative) order we follow in USA.  You do get used to it, and frankly, the traffic flows better since everyone understands the pantomime

Even in basic spec a Delta 88 was still a nice car. You’d have had to option the Caprice about halfway up the options sheet to get to the same level of kit and comfort. Get a Delta 88 Royal Brougham and you damned near had a Cadillac. 

that does exist in pickup trucks, just not cars

oh, I don’t think many people will buy a stripper car...but that’s not the point. And yes, the car companies very much want the consumers to buy the loaded ones. Think it’s more that Ford is coming to the realization that their Credit division would be on better ground if their customers were, even to some degree,

until you had to replace them, which was every 6 months or so.....bend over and take it style.

be the liquor, Randy....BE the liquor

So on other words you can’t actually support your argument and are just lazily relying on a fallacious argument from authority to avoid doing so when called out on it. Nice.

again, in context of crank vs electric windows, the ‘two’ is primarily zero since they are sequenced pre-assemblies, and at the supplier of the assembly, it’s indifferent at scale and utterly indifferent at final to attach and connect to the shell.  The Quality Check is an either/or not a both, but there’s one of
