Ford Es-car-pay (Escape)

Don’t listen to the spoiled haters, Freddie. Towing with your daily driver is a normal thing in countries other than the USA. When I lived in the UK, I towed my Microlight trailer with my Astra Convertible (don’t judge, it was a horrible car but fun with the roof down).

Shadowy figure, believed to be wanted man Jason Bourne, seen leaving the scene...

That’s hideous, darling! I wouldn’t be seen dead in it!

I sold my ‘74 two months ago for $27,500. Admittedly, it had only 33,000 miles and was a truly cherry survivor, but this one looks pretty good. The 74-and-earlier C3s are really climbing in value.

And snowmobiles are “snowtercycles” or “snowterbikes”.

I have always been drawn to these long, low, elegant, opulent cars. I own a ‘96 Impala SS, and its hoodline looks so impossibly low compared to most modern fare.

The gearknob is on backwards.

That’s deliberate; lots of cars do that. It’s to clear the view behind when you put the car in reverse. It assumes that, if you’re using the front wipers, then the rear window will also be wet - therefore, you’d appreciate the view being cleared before you move back.

This looks familiar.

I did a 50-mile journey once in torrential rain, three-up in a Fiat X1/9. With no working defroster.

It’s not even a pretty TVR. It will break your heart, your wallet and still be ugly when it’s all over.

Even though all the Hillaman, Sunbeam, Reliant, and Wolseley factories

No. You’re wrong.

And simply “driving a Mustang”.

You can take the Ford out of the Mustang but you can't take the Mustang out of the crowd?
