I once drove from Jacksonville FL to San Diego CA in a Fiat 124 coupe.
In August.
No air conditioning.
Who knew Texas was so BIG? And so freakin' hot.
I like to think I'm not quite that stupid these days.
The fire was obviously started by disgruntled GM employees who feared that Packard would once again produce fine American automobiles and put an end to Cadillac forever.
MY fantasy garage has a fine Packard wood paneled station wagon proudly displayed near the door.
So that I can drive it.
My first car was a 1959 Ford Anglia.
A neighbor had a 'less deluxe' 1959 Ford Prefect.

They are BOTH rolling over in their respective graves today.

One of the first to the chopping block: Bob Dance Automotive.


But they still sell KIAS.
Ewww.
I just want to go wash my hands now.
BTW, is GAWKER powered by Dodge?
use 'cause its a major PITA to post a comment here anymore, and almost as bad to read it.
Whats a synonym for slow, intractable, and frustrating?
Oh yeah. The Orlando Expressway authority.


There are plenty of pickups running around with stainless steel bed rails from Home Depot.
They sell them as grab handles for the bath/shower, but we know better.
@aSoundofSleep: A pair of those would maybe work on a Fiero....
Back in the day, I had an after school job as lot boy at the local Oldsmobile dealer. When we got our first Toronado, it was my job to wash it for display.
Big V8, FWD, wet tires- I had no choice but to do my first ever front wheel burnout. Wouldn't you?
Then I washed it again to remove the evidence.
And while I never drove one, the two stroke SAABs were pretty cool, too.
@biminitwst:
Wait. We are talking about this Megan, aren't we?

@Accords went loco, killed Camry and Malibu.:
Yeah. Megan needs her a vintage Caddy.
I'm thinking '57 - '59 would be fine.
Sorry.
After a lifetime of driving old or obsolete cars, I have never done anything close to fitting in this category. Even if I didn't have the exact part when something broke, I was able to come up with a substitute that worked. My cars have never worn duct tape where it could be seen.
That junkyard was full of Opel Mantas.
Europe's Camero.
When your 45 and all the "big girls" your age have begun to sag, yours will still be as pretty and perky as a teenagers.
"The best breasts are really the ones you have access to."
No matter what else he may have said or done, he was right on the money that time.
I have NEVER seen unattractive breasts, no matter the size, with the possible exception of an old girlfriend who had reduction surgery.
The scars were somewhat less(OK, a LOT less) than attractive, but I reminded myself of who was wearing the ugly scars and got over it almost instantly.
Buy one, get one free:
Hyundai, Kia.
Go the fuck home.
Why does Gawker even bother to put a search window on the page?
When I typed in "Bertinelli" I got articles about some TV star I've never heard of. When I typed in "People Magazine" I got articles about kitty cats.
Over at Jalopnik I typed in "Buick" and got articles about Volkswagen.
This isn't a new phenomenon, its been like this for weeks, maybe months.
If you can't make it work, why not just remove it and save us the frustration?
Thank you for reading, and have a nice day.
:-)
IMO, If you think this is cool, and god forbid you actually wind up buying one, then you can no longer laugh at women who buy the special 'Womens Edition' models of Harleys or anything else just because its painted pink and labeled 'Womens Edition.'
You would be just as lame.
I'm not saying its a bad truck, but motorcycle decals and plastic geegaws won't make you money nearly as fast as they raise your payments.
Remember: Old truckers never die, they just get a new Peterbilt. (Or Western Star)
@biminitwst:
This comment was obviously meant for the IH Harley Davidson twuck article.
I blame the hamsters.

When waxes are outlawed,
only outlaws will have waxes.
Did they predict the big, empty mufflers many people install on their little Japanese imports?
AKA 'fart cans?'
