This song somehow comes to mind....
Luckily, I only have to deal with about eight miles of them each way, each day.
Years ago (especially during the early & mod '60s), "promos"--1/25 scale plastic models built by companies like AMT and Jo-Han--would not only have fairly-detailed engraving of the frame, powertrain and chassis parts on their one-piece chassis pans, but they would also have (in the case of Ford's promos) promotional stuff like "The Look, The Power, The Feel Of The Fabulous Thunderbird!" engraved on a Galaxie 500 XL's frame rail, plus bits like "New Self-Adjusting Brakes" "2-year/24,000 Mile Powertrain Warranty"etc. on there too.
These wouldn't appear on subsequent kit versions of those cars...and MPC, iirc, didn't put them on the promos they started making in '65.
Remember...It's Not Your Father's Oldsmobuick!
BTW: MUNI and BART are two SEPARATE transit systems...MUNI is just in the City (was originally the San Francisco Municipal railway), while BART runs in SF (as far south as the SFO airport), across the bay in the transbay tube, and in the East Bay from Richmond and Pittsburg to Hayward & Dublin (with an extension to San Jose in the works)
You'd need to take a look at the welds to see not only if they were done properly (if at all), but also see if they didn't fail in a brittle manner, as happens too often ] in cars with structural members made of high-strengh steels since the mid '70s. My father and I investigated lots of these crashes...what we found has some scary implications. (We did write a chapter about this for a legal text back in 97.)
Remember when people like Irving R. Levine and Edwin Newman were NBC News correspondents?
Can someone please explain why a successful show 's ending and one guy's rant against Darrell Waltrip have to do with each other?
That strip is only 1000 feet long, as NHRA Fuel cars (Top Fuel and Funny Cars) haven't run the 1/4 mile since Doug Kalitta's fatal crash.
What happened to the rest of the Nairobi Trio?
Any guesses on how soon that Ferrari is a parts car...or worse?
All of the above.
If you blow in a TV news anchor's ear, he/she will thank you for the refill.
...or some silly instrumentals like what Benny Hill used with his filmed comedy bits.
Those Dodge-ified Mitsubishi Lancers flew out of the Dodge dealers that sold them back then...and, along with the Slant SIx-powered Dart, saved Dodge's bacon after the first oil shock hit in October of '73.
Exner-era excellence.
Too bad the bean counters at Chrysler weren't as good as the engineers (which my father was from 1953-59 )or the styling guys were.

Who the motavalli is Jim Fuck?
He'll probably buy the Speedway.
Too bad he didn't do that earlier & fire Tony George while he was at it!
