Did you hear the one about the blonde who snorted Sweet-N-Low?  Someone told her it was diet coke.

No matter how many times I tell them about US-sourced content in various Toyotas, Hondas, and others, my parents still turn their noses up at them because they’re Japanese brands (although that didn’t stop them from buying both me AND my sister used Hondas in the late ‘80s).

Back when I was a kid, my dad had a ‘76 F250 with a 2bbl 360 and a four-speed. 60 mph was about all it liked to do, and it was already getting wheezy at that speed.

Toyota Avalon.  Nothing else says “I’m old” as succinctly.

I can agree with this one. My folks have a ‘07 Town Car, and it reminds me in a lot of ways of the ‘76 Grand Marquis we had when I was a kid - except it consistently will do double-digit MPG and it’s probably quicker in a straight line.

The sooner neoclassics are forgotten, the better.

This is on the low end of what diesel F250's of this era go for in my area - and none of the ones I found near me had a stick.  Nice Price for this one; it’ll make a great work truck and with proper care should just keep chugging along for a few more years.

SNL - a 90-minute show with maybe 10 minutes of worthwhile material.

The Lincoln Mark III.

I grew up with one of these too - although ours was a 2-door.

If my memory of Cadillac model nomenclature at that time is correct, CTS stood for Catera Touring Sedan.

That is probably the ugliest T-Bird ever - even more so than the ‘80-’82 Fox body.

You can probably get this truck up to enough speed to cause trouble, but with that 6.9L IDI it’ll take a while.

I didn’t know the plane wing was named Grace...

I still have a Haynes manual for my Miata, but all I use it for these days is to look up torque specifications. I’ve done almost every job short of an engine or transmission rebuild that can be done on an NA Miata, and no longer need instructions for that (not that those in the Haynes manual are all that good to begin

Sendin’ out an SOS...

P-Gritty.

“Well, honey, I put it up for sale, but it doesn’t look like anyone’s interested.”

Depends - do you have sleeve tattoos?
