I think there's a typo...they meant to say the transmission is shot.

Back in the '80s my barber who sold cars on the side had a dark blue '67 Charger with black interior on his little lot. I took it for a test drive of maybe half a mile; it had a 383 in it as I recall, and at the time I figured I couldn't afford the car because of the gas mileage, and gee, gas was what...87-cents a…

I want to hear the theme from "Moon Patrol" next!

Sounds like a jolly good deal, I believe I'll give this chap a call first thing in the morning since the phone number is posted there. Let's see, if I get up at 5am Central time, what time will it be there when I give this chap a ring? Oh well, I'm sure he won't mind an "honest" inquiry about his automobile.

Maybe he should use a can opener.

@UDMan: "With God as my witness, I thought Lincolns could fly."

Not to brag, but I once chased a thief into an alley and pinned him against a fence with the bumper of my Ford Escort until the police came and took him away...who needs the power of a Taurus when an Escort will do just fine.

This has Herb Tarlek written all over it.

If only they could make the midsection rotate, then they could promote whatever beverage as "the perfect mixer".

Thumbs up on the exterior, finger down my throat on the interior though.

Now THAT's a cavalier attitude!

@Sharpie: My brother is a huge Airwolf fan...he'd probably prefer to drive around with the theme song blaring out to warn folks.

"Flubber" would be fun too.

It's like when Edward G. Robinson walks into the facility in "Soylent Green" and comes out in little green cubes.

I'm actually in Arkansas and was going to volunteer to go take it on a test drive and accidentally run it into a tree/off a cliff, but it's too far away. But note that this IS in Eureka Springs, which is a weird blend of right-wing conservatives (home of the Great Passion Play) and a bunch of liberal artists. I just…

Now that I think about it, when you register at all the other sites you just give them your email address, come up with a screen name and a password, and you're in.

They should all make the sound of the Jetson's vehicle.

We should just be glad Peterbilt doesn't do TV ads.

My dad had a '67 Chevy pickup, and a '72 Impala. I can't remember if it was the ignition on the truck that was worn so the Impala key would work in it, or if the truck key was so worn it would work in the Impala...but one way or the other he had one key that would operate both vehicles. Neither had a remote of…

I was thinking of a Clint Eastwood movie too, but not so much The Gauntlet as Dirty Harry when he jumps off the bridge onto the bus full of kidnapped school kids with Scorpio on board.
