Some guy in NY ran up over 1,000,000 miles on one. Volvo gave the guy a
new car.

It's actually a pretty cool looking ride. I'd be seen in one of those.
A *million* friggin' miles, huh? Not the way I drive, I guarantee it.

Try a Jensen FF - first production car with 4WD and anti-lock brakes.
Just as an FYI, Jensen did some of the assembly of the P1800 for a few
years in the 60s.

Ooooh. Quiller had a Jensen.

Why is it so hot and what am I doing in this handbasket?

Maybe the capture. I dunno about the hunt. Unless your beat up van
has golden, diamond 22'' rims.

You can't afford it. But the best car is definitely the
1970 Plymouth Barracuda Hemi Convertible (the yellow ragtop from Nash
Bridges)

see also the current issue of Newsweek.

I'm looking for something cool, but not "too cool". It's should be
totally functional, yet say "hey, I like to enjoy life". And it must
be a panty dropper. I want to hear the soft susurration of thongs
slipping down thighs whenever I drive by. If it won't get me laid,
it's a deal breaker.

Go for something made in '69 and it won't have the first round of 5mph
bumpers. For cool factor, consider an Opel GT.

How about the 1970 Challenger from 'Vanishing Point'?

Shouldn't he be asking women instead of guys? I mean if he's really
serious about what he wants...

I recently saw a Nissan bumper with the plastic exterior chipped away.
There's styrofoam underneath.

Jensen FF or Interceptor, 1 UK gallon to get it out of the garage in the
morning..... well fullfils the "screams I've got Money" criteria, but if
you'd have any left to give away is debateable.

yeah ?

Why ??

Keep in mind, Im younger than you guys, I can't speak from personal
experience. They always just seemed like a cool car to have.

That or an MG

They were just famous for falling apart. "Cute" I guess, but you
weren't supposed to have one unless you like to work on cars.

I tried to attach the pic but it didn't make it. So let's try it this
way:

So who said anything about a "beat up" van?

How about a different Challenger? Last I saw of that one, it needed a
LOT of work.
