*raises a fist* Word. FIGHT THE POWAH!!!
You're basically driving the little brother to my other car, the 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 I affectionately refer to as Big Blue. Right now Big Blue is down because I'm in need of a PCV-Valve Grommet, and Water Pump Bolts.
She also needs, but is not that important:
- new gas tank. Anything over half a tank of fuel gets dumped out. Either a new tank, or I gotta find and patch the hole.
- rebuild the rear axle. The Ford "9-Inch" rear axle is one of the strongest, most sought after rear axles in the hot-rodding world. Why replace it when you can rebuild it?
- Stereo and A/C. It had both, but they don't work anymore. I'd love to cruise down the street with the radio blasting and the windows up.
- tires. For some reason, I have a Firestone Bias-Ply tire on my driver's side rear. I'm frankly suprised it has lasted this long.
And Big T, how are my cars "expensive" or "pimped up"? My Monte Carlo cost me $800, and got painted, by myself, for $50. That $50 includes the price of a sander that I bought to sand through the old paint.
And as for the only being able to use 10% of my horsepower, that's what Saturday Night Race What You Bring at the Dragstrip is for. For $10 bucks, you can race as much as you want, make a few side bets, and such.
If you don't support cars, or even like them, that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But this thread is about talking about cars, not debating about them.

The last mutt standing.
The one and only, Cowboy from Hell.

Bury me with my guns on,
So when I reach the other side,
I can show him what it feels like to die.
I can show him what it feels like to die.
Bury me with my guns on,
So when I'm cast out of the skies,
I can shoot the Devil right between the eyes.
