@John Krewson: The only black thing I've ever seen in hocky is the puck. But, I'm sure the Stanley Cup must be polished on a regular basis.

In my area this model seemed to be the choice of MDs. Lincolns were favored by businessmen and Caddys by retirees and trophy wives.

I guess blacks are bypassing auto racing for ice hocky.

Ray, you have to play fair. After all, NPR represents the "blame America first" loons. It wouldn't be fair to them or their listners if your opinion deviated from their agenda. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just sayin'.

Sounds like just another case of Affirmative Action gone wrong. Maybe Al Sharpton will march around the Datyona oval and Jesse Jackson will call for a boycott of NASCAR.

Any of the early 60s Studs with the 289 4-speed qualified as real "sleepers." My HS friend's mom had one and it was more fun than the law allowed.

This crisis calls for immediate government intervention!Lets just make anyone driving inefficient SUVs, trucks and exotic cars eligible for food stamps. Those already on food stamps would qualify for a free TaTa and gas stamps. Just think of the economic inpact of all the new pimp and donk shops that would appear.

I've never owned an Alpha, but a friend's Fiat Spyder and my sister's X19 scared me away from all things Italian. However, if proven dependable and reasonably priced, this might make a nice replacement for my xD.

Thank god I experienced life when $5 would get you a couple of gallons of gas, a couple of milkshakes and burgers, a pack of Pall Mall and a car full of 16 year olds into the local "finger bowl" or, as the girls referred to it, "the passion pit." Great sport occurred when, inevitably, the film broke and the night air was immediately filled with revving engines with glasspack Smitty's and musical horns playing "Dixie!" It was the last "innocent generation."
