Why did canada get Mercury trucks??

How about on the floor next to your bed?

 

A toque is not a beanie, it's a knitted cap, so there. And somebody mentioned wanting to build a Lincoln pickup truck - maybe even a crewcab. Would that be a Navigator?

 

glad you edited it hotroddon, lets have friendly banter and no more comments that may start pissing please and thank you.(ass, non of us north or south)one and all ok...

 

Canada's bigger, wayyyyyy bigger

 

I prefer a car themed t-shirt

 

Beanie is the name here for a knitted winter cap - same as a Toque.


and yes beanie is also used for the goofy propeller geek hat.

 

I've lost my ZZ Top Eliminator T shirt, have you seen it?

 

You don't honestly think you're getting it back now do you???

 

This is hardly even a joke anymore but probably back in the early to mid 70's National Lampoon magazine did a Canadian themed issue. One article was a sort of test of "America's Knowledge Of Our Northern Neighbors" thing. Part of it was done in a "Question & Answer" style.

Q: Detroit is considered to be the automobile capital of the United States. What is the automotive capital of Canada?

A: Detroit.

Trust me, it was funny then. Now, not so much.

 

Here in ND we have hundreds of miles of border where you can just walk into Canada,yet no one does.

 

But seriously, you don't see the Canadians walking into North Dakota either.

 

All in all we have alot in common.. Old Cars, Hot Cars ,Cool Cars.. and Good people.. The rest is trivial..

The U.S. also has cars that are different than what we have up here.. simple changes.. but Noticable Changes..

 

Touché

longest unprotected boarder in the world, may are governments not fuck it up but I see a trend.

 

Just wondering, what years did the Mercury trucks appear? Gary

 

Here are some pics of the trucks like someone asked

 

There isnt one of you alive down south who would know where Canada is anyway so how would you ever walk there?
A pal of mine bought a Poly manifold from an Amercan in the midwest and he wouldnt send it because he didnt know how to send stuff by boat overseas. I wish I was kidding but I am not. i beleive the poltically correct term is Geographically Challenged.

And while we are at it, here are a couple of the Mercury Monarch.

 

The Avro Arrow too.

 

We were in San Diego ( favorite city ) 2 summers ago shopping at a Walgreen's in a non-touristy area of town
the large lady behind the counter leaned over to my 12 year old son and asked accusingly:

"WHY AREN'T YOU IN SCHOOL"

Scared my son speechless so I answered

"We are from Canada and every summer the School Igloo melts so school is out until fall when we can build a new one"

She believed me and answered back "Damb global warming "

I`m laughing my ass off reading this post. Denise, you crack me up.

 

so...now I'm curious...what cars are specific to USA?

 

Toyota Prius?

 

Both of my Grandfathers and three uncles worked at A. V. Row in Malton ( now Mississauga)when it closed. My father had a White Rose Station at Derry Rd. and Hwy 27. It wasnt long before it went tits up. It was due to pressure from the US to scrap the Areo. It was too advanced for the times. Parker Hanifin is located in the building now. Dad still calls it the A.V.Row building.
