I thought Mongo showed up on site today...

ONLY if it had a manual trans!

 

4 door Maverick or a beached whale Caprice wagon FTW

 

That was the sarcasm hint, right?.... (Go along, say 'Yes')

 

Amos Johnson kinda liked them back in the day.

 

I dunno, some of those cube things with the wacky half wrap around rear window are contenders for the ugly award.

 

^^This guy knows...

 

Team Highball!!!!

 

That's only because you could legitimately answer the question of what you drove with " I drive a vette….baby."

 

We called my best friend's the "shit-vette." Yes, it was brown. Yes, it had an 8 track.

 

The first three family cars I drove:
1959 VW Beetle convertible
1968 Chevelle 6cyl
1972 Chevette

All had stick shift. The Chevelle was cool, especially when I could blow away a 396 block one because I knew how to launch with the manual. The other two were less impressive, but they got me where I needed to go.

 

I can top that...I actually owned an AMC Hornet. When it ran, it wasn't bad...when it ran.

 

I bet that 59 was badass. My first car was a 69. Two tone velour seats, shag carpet, 8 track, 60s all the way around, and a stinger pipe. Oh, and no heat lol.

 

My best friend in hs had a yellow pinto.We rode in this baby doll like pimps.
We use to jump terraces in the church graveyard in it,and 4 wheel the powelines in it as well.
It hydroplaned one day and was tragically killed in a road accident,no one was hurt,but it was a sad day.

 

I give you he Yugo.
And the French... They couldn't make a car look like the Italians:

 

Does anyone find it suspiciously interesting that Mongo is absent from this thread? Hmmm...

 

Ths

T is because he is busy shopping for a low mileage Aztec

 

The italians have their day in court too. In a trip in Austria long ago, the rental company rented us two of these for the week.

It was functional as hell inside but we kept a low profile while driving. Like "below the window line" low profile...

 

My sister LOVED her 'AssHat'.
I thought that it suited her in many ways...

 

Fixed.

 

The 'Pla' in the name is short for platypus?
