Family to GM: Our Son is Dead. Please, Stop Sending Us Recall Notices

Actually the other version of the Mustang II was even uglier....



Looked like a Pinto had sex with a Ford Maverick and that was the resulting offspring.

A good example of why the Japanese were stealing the auto market from Detroit.

What Jap car from that era looks better?

[Kristy]

That was your tranny tape popping lose when you farted...

You seem to know a lot about gender bending.

[Kristy]

It was the begining of dark times. Wide polyester ties. Horrid looking hair. Butterfly collars. Platform shoes. In a few years disco would rear it's ugly head. They wanted to make everything look like an acid trip. Lime green shag carpet and bright orange wall paper on the walls.

Not too mention all that orange and brown furniture.

Datsun 280Z

[Von Halen]

I hate to tell you, but the Japs didn't steal the market with any of the Z cars.

[Nitro Express]

Not too mention all that orange and brown furniture.

Blue toilets. Nothing could just be white. Everything had to be colored. You had to have carpet in the kitchen. Shag carpet in the bathroom (total disaster) and a blue toilet. Hell let's put carpet on the walls too. They were into carpet big time in the 70's. Oh and big heavy gaudy drapes. They were still doing that awful wood paneling too.

Oh and you had to have a big custom "Love Machine" van. Cover the whole back in carpet. put in a custom windows in the back side panels. Put some brass lights in. A refrigerator and a mattress.

Be sure to look like Ron Jeremy, wear a polyester shirt unbuttoned to show off your gold chain or puka shells. Bell bottomed Angel Flight pants and some cuban heals. Now you are ready to go to the disco club to score.

The Datsun 240/260/280 z series comes to mind......



Of course you had to actually BE Japanese to fit in one and drive it comfortably, but that's beside the point.

Not too mention all that orange and brown furniture.

And the avocado green appliances. We have a lot of those here in Hell, just to furnish the "Eternal 1970's" torment suite.

I like the Z cars. Of course, I'd have put a big block in them.

[Nitro Express]

Yeah but those ugly appliances were built like tanks. Nothing broke on them. They would run for years. People just got rid of them because they were ugly.

428 Hemi with a hood scoop. Hell. Supercharge the thing and put two four barrels on.

[Von Halen]

428 Hemi

Was that a Jap engine? :D

[Nitro Express]

Was that a Jap engine? :D

Yes. Fuji Industrial made them in the 1960's.

[Nickdfresh]

Who would win in a street fight?

A 1970 Super Sexy Ford Calypso Red 428 "Cobra Jet" Mustang


Or...a 1975 Chevrolet Vega?



No reason other than those Boss Mustangs were god damn sexy!

I have a feeling this makes thou a tad moist in the nether regions...

Not the Vega. Actually, it was an awful car, but could have been great if GM wasn't cheap and lazy...
