Old Ragtop, Falcon, Galaxie, etc.

I love trucks, I’ll drive my Dad’s older Colorado when I go visit. I’ve only had 2 in my life, I bought a cheap old rusty pickup when I needed to move and tow my even older van behind it. I bought a new Ridgeline when I decide I was going to renovate my house, as I envisioned multiple Home Depot runs, dump runs, etc.…

Unlike the EU, Uncle Sam won’t let us tow as much or sometimes at all with vehicles similar in size and power to EU vehicles.Some of us have done it anyway. (Me, Festiva with a trailer, and all the crazy things Mercedes Streeter has done!)

Reverse:

My Ford Festiva loaded up with a roof rack for skis, 2 burly dudes, and gear packed in the back for a week-long tour of Colorado. The load had pushed fuel mileage waaay down! It was the middle of the night in Nebraska, my brother was driving and wasn’t familiar with the level of E. Luckily, we had his bag phone,…

Also, what’s up with the weird rear wheel in the last pic? It looks like it’s sticking out from the car, but matches up with the line on the garage floor.

88 Festiva was my first new car, I can’t believe there are any still running. Drove that little Kia into oblivion until the engine started smoking like a diesel. 14 years later I decided I missed it so much I bought the smallest car I could find. (see user name)

Cab-Over All the Things!

Hear the case in Philly, they know something about batteries up there.

But for only $1600 I can brag at the strip club that I drive a Maserati!! Guaranteed hot lap dance!!

oooh yes, the refresh of an 11-year old Mexican eceono-blob is a clear sign that Nissan is turning things around.

Good Grief, didn’t we beat this dead horse yesterday?

my three words?

Looks like JJ Abrams is shooting car ads now...

So Raph, what happens when your bag falls over and an orange rolls under your brake pedal?

My 3rd day driving in New Zealand. Stopped at a hostel in the middle of nowhere. Got up the next morning, no traffic, no people, no breakfast.Took off down the road. First turn, I had to dive to the shoulder because there was a truck in my his lane! Spent several minutes reminding myself, left, Left LEFT!

I drove a shitbox with a boombox buckled into the passenger seat.

That’s MY move!

And solved in 2 years, amiright?
