    The one thing that amazes me about this Mustang...is that you can actually fit in it!

    I love them all. I currently have the '70 nova and '78 transmission Am. There would be more but, the divorce attorney would suck the needed funds right out of my wallet if I brought any more home...and they are pretty hard to hide.

    I appreciate all shapes, sizes and running conditions. But, I am saddened by those we, all to often, see rotting in the fields.

    Your last sentence.
    All too real for me.
    There's a farmer about 18 miles west of me with a section of yard where his kid has parked old iron.
    I have photos but it would probably cause you some pain.

    Before my Volvo I owned a 67 Chevy Nova 327 .that burned to the asphalt a day after a local garage did a tune up. I was too busy to do it myself working 6 days a week.It broke my heart to see it go.
    Some days I wish I still had the Volvo..especially seeing what was done to it after I let go.
    I have photos of that too.

    Lot's of great iron in my town.
    Just yesterday another new car to town. A 61 Pontiac vert with 4 women in it.

    I love them all, and they love me!
    This one followed me home last week.

    I'll be the first here to say I don't love them all. The Ford Tempo, no love. The Chevette, no love. The Zastava Yugo, no love. Most minivans, no love. Some of the horrifically engineered American cars from the 1970s and early 80s, no love.

    There are many which I love, but all... nope. Roses smell sweeter once you've smelt crap.

    OK, so it is an endearing generic homage to the good ones.

    A hater is the 1988 Mitsubishi mini van. Please, don't ask me how I know. :shake:anim

    That minivan has the external design of a subway car. The only thing it's missing is graffiti.

    It devalued faster than a canoe in a hurricane.

    From what I heard.... :)

    I don't call a minivan a car. I do like most cars except the tiny little things that should be used as a spare tire in a full size ride. Oh Well I like big cars & sport cars . I like most trucks too.

    Both like and love are in the eyes of the beholder - but sometimes it takes a mechanical Archimedes to turn a turd into a rocket...

    I've owned more GM vehicles than any other brand but do like all North American vehicles over all and all others second..
