My car.

[RoyalOrleans]

i never got a 911 engine in my ghia but i put 93cc pistons, a big cam and p&p' ed the heads. it was fast for a vw.

i traded my bus for a camaro. although i love my camaro i do miss air cooled vw's.

 

My brother, who is an expert, did the job as I watched and handed him tools. He'd holler out a part or a tool name and I'd hand it to him, hold the flashlight... that kind of thing.

 

I have a very limited knowledge of car mechanics. I can change the oil, brakes, and other somewhat minor jobs. My brother can break down and rebuild a Hemi blindfolded, bouncing one leg, and an arm tied behind his back.

 

I reckon, I inherited the artistic gene. I'm a better guitar player.

my stepfather built modified racing engines so i get some help. i never owned an 8 cylinder vehicle till i was 35, when i bought my camaro. i bought some bad ass aluminum heads for it last week. as soon as i do some port work i will get them on. i am hoping for 450hp.

i have 0 artistic ability. i can play twinkle twinkle little star on the piano but thats about it.

I started playing guitar around eight years old. Never lost my passion for it. From that I picked up the trumpet, baritone, piano, and the drums.

 

I will use the Karmen Ghia to pick up 18-19 year olds at the local junior college.

Hey, that's the same song I know on the piano.

I played flute in the school band for three years, and still can't play the flute.

I don't know much about cars accept what Hubby tells me. His loves fiddling with junkers. I have to fight him off of our newer cars or he would be modifying them as well.

Sell it and get a Mustang

Typical Nebraska advice. Ford is a shitty company and the Mustang is a dirtball's Corvette.

Ouch! Hurtfull....

 

Just because they "design" (if you dare call it that) and "build" (if you dare call it that) ugly (that's stating it mildly) cars that nobody wants to buy, have lost market share from over 25% to less than 17%, are going to close a majority of their plants and lay off 30,000+ workers...doesn't mean they are a shitty company does it?

GM is now FOLLOWING Ford and making a reproduction of the 69 Camaro.

They've lost the share not to GM but to the shitty import cars that people think they have to buy. And GM also is working on a plan and will be cutting 25,000 plus jobs and closing some plants.

Yes...GM is headed for oblivion as well at full throttle. Incredible loss of market share, huge losses, and ugly ass cars, useless trucks, and gas guzzling SUV's nobody wants to buy. To add insult to injury, they try to pass the blame onto their workers health benefits. What crap.

Shitty import cars? Really. Ever read a non-biased report from Consumer reports in your life?

 

You see they have these funny little icons. Like this.

Unfortunately, American cars have more of the little black icons that anything else on virtually all of the major issues while the Asian imports have almost exclusively the bright Red ones!

 

You have a very funny idea of what "shitty" means!

Gas guzzling SUV,s yep my wife's. Useless trucks Yep mine if you say so. But i could'nt find a import that i felt comfortable pulling a 25,000 loaded goose-neck all over the U.S.

Yes i have but i don't have to like it. I personally don't care how great they think they are. I still won't have one and will stick to my Ford/Lincoln. Maybe at some point would lower myself to a GM if i found one i really liked.

I completely agree!

Nope just trying to look through my rose colored glasses.

I have a 2002 Mercury Villager Estate. I love it. I don't know why they discontinued it. It handles great and is really fun to drive. It is built on a car chasse, so it doesn

Because its a Mercury. They should have made the sudden ignition fires optional.

I LOVE my Expedition, would hate to live without it. I used it too pull a 6x12 uhaul trailor home from Texas at Christmas. I have pulled a 20 foot trailor with it. I love to go to Costco and buy stuff in bulk and fill the back. I love the garden center because I can go away with 20-30 bags of mulch or whatever else I need to bring home.

 

HOWEVER, oh my god with them suddently bursting into flame. That gave me pause one day when I turned on the news and saw one that looked just like mine half burnt out, the fire had jumped from the truck to the garage and then to the house.

 

Not a good moment for Ford.

 

My sister is thinking of letting me have a family heirloom, my grandmothers last car, a 70s model VW bug that my Sister had repainted, and a new motor put in. That will give me the best of both worlds, a smaller car that gets good gas mileage and a larger one that I can take along when I need to bring alot of shit home.

[manicmonday]

I just sold my Miata. It was a sad day. I still have my Cadilac Escalade. For some reason a baby won't fit in a Miata:confused: . But I so miss taking it on the interstate and flying down.

 

I've always wanted a vintage VW bug or bus. Now I want a bus. I think that would be too cool.

Never happened with the Villager. Don't generalize.

Yep, until somebody in another Expedition, hits you in your 70's bug, then you'll be squashed!

 

Life is full of shitty compromises isn't it?

[scout]

Should get an International Scout ll like mine. Then you could have the best of all the US makers. Have had it for 24 years, driving it everyday. The dependability is great, the gas mileage not so great.
