Forgot about the "hide-a-headlight" that would quit working when the car was 8 or 9 years old.

 

[RedneckReject]

Yep. It's so ugly it makes me cry

Mine actually still worked. Everything in that car worked. It was like a time machine!

Wow, you were lucky, that was usually one of the first things to break.

That car was incredible. Almost 20 years old and in great condition.

My first "car" was very similar. 1973 Mercury Montego.

It was like this, only dark blue

Those are cool! I miss the older cars...especially when it comes to working on them. I can remember when my old Trans Am had anything wrong with it, it was easy to pop the hood and do whatever needed to be done. When my current daily driver needed the alternator replaced last summer the passenger side wheel had to be taken off and you had to pull out half the parts in the engine by turning them just the right way to get them out...and all that was just to GET to the alternator

Yeah, my 70 Chevy Pickup had a small block V8, and there was still room to have a party under the hood.

Yep. Those were the days. You could get to pretty much anything from above...with plenty of clearance for tools

I think it looks nice.

It looks like a dinosaur puked on a car and then someone put it in a giant oven to cure for a few days.....hideous

What can I say? I get bored and it passes the time

Are you the chairwoman of the bored?

No he works too much for me to be the chairwoman. I do, however, like to think I'm a bored member

[RedneckReject]

Oh good! The man's home. Gotta run to the store. He can deal with the demonic child

Be back later an goodnight to those who won't be here then!
