hahaha the guys a fucking queer. some yuppie " it will be so neat to show up to jim and barbs partys with this wont it" Just like those yuppies on brand new harleys with there costume on.
I LOVE guys like that! #1- he is clearly taking the car to the shop down the street instead of a shop that specializes in Classics- I know I CANNOT have the only classic car shop in America. #2- they have no idea when something is actually broken.they only think it's "odd" that it doesn't start easy. (Hey, pansy ass, I have a 462 with no hopes of having a choke, and I start it just fine every morning.) #3- it is sitting in thier garage, waiting for one of us to buy it CHEAP! "What's that? it overheats! sheesh mister, I don't know...I'l give you a grand for it." I love these guys because they don't have a FUCKING CLUE when it comes to maintenence. they are sure that just like thier Honda, they can drive it 3k and never have to lift the hood. WRONG. They don't want to look at the motor. they don't want to know it exists. they don't see it as a peice of artwork in it's own right. they are dumbfounded when we just stare at one like an Autistic child looking at a piano. knowing it wants to make the right knid of music. for US. They don't realize that WE are the ultimate recyclers, and we keep the prices on thier jap boxes CHEAP. They do not realize how much it actually COSTS to replace even ONE of these cars! They wonder why we don't fit in at thier fucking dinner parties...and how thoroughly DISGUSTED we become at the thought of letting one of our cars go anywhere...selling one of our cars is like selling a faithful dog, or telling an old War buddy to go to hell. We keep the torch lit. We keep this HUGE part of history alive. We contribute VAST sums of money to the U.S.A. to do it. They bitch about any minor thing that happens, and sell it to US.
Yes, because of your bad experiences with a limited run sports car in it's first year of production from a company only 3 years from ceasing all auto production of any kind, all old cars suck. Jeeze what an idiot. I never had a problem starting my '60 Pontiac in the cold or hammering up a hill with it... then again it's a car they made close to 400,000 of that year, and the year before. I've had to do more to fix the Suburban I have now.
I don't think I've ever gotten a headache from the noise when I'm in an old car...but my cheeks sure hurt when I finish...from smiling.
Wow, That fucker's just having a real 'heavy flow day', isn't he? If the car doesn't work right, why not take it to a good mechanic? I could believe that it might be hard to find one in SF, but there would have to be one in Oakland. Fuckin' pussy ought'a go buy a bus pass and some tampons. And quit yelling rude shit at old guys who groove on his car. Guess I forgot my happy pills today, too. -bill
Really, 'cuz reading your response made me happy. You nailed. The car sucked because the guy isn't a car guy. I think most of us would have had it fixed in a weekend.
That's funny....I remember reading an interview with Ian Fleming in a 1964 Playboy magazine, and he raved about how wonderful his Avanti was because it DID start every time, no matter what the conditions.
I have known a lot of these "civilians" that want to be percieved as hip by driving a "cool classic car". Usually they get the idea when their stock portfolio is starting to tank. "Hey, I'm moving into 'tangibles' for a while." The problem with that is they over pay for everything and drive the cost up for real car guys - thanks Barret/Jackson!
I agree with LUX,atleast we can take a old car,make it into what we want it to be or close to it anyway,the cuts,bruised knuckles,torn or holes burnt into our clothes,the time we put into our cars,tuning,cleaning,tinkering,adding some odd part we found at a swap meet or hell,even yard sales or garage sales makes it all worth it. we are not stuck having to finance a new car or truck because we can fix what we have,or build our dream car.
I fucking hate people like that FAG...I had a guy ask me one time if I was afraid to drive my 51 Chevy, so I ask why....he says because you have a steel dash, no seat belts and no air bags...after I told him to eat a bowl a dick, I explained to him those things you just mentioned are compensations for bad driving...try driving a drum brake juice jar, three on the tree custom riding on the bump stops,it makes you a better driver, you actually have to pay attention, what a concept...that homo makes me mad!!!!!! John
poor bastard.. his friends won't ride in it.. evil things,those Avantis.. let's all sing a chorus of "what a pussy"
The scary thing is bastards like this (or is it bitches?) are those who are trying to pass legislation to get old cars of the roads and squished into Kia's. You should have seen the disgusted looks I got from the pansies at work when I had my 54 Chevy stored there to get on the road (I work at a GM dealer). They couldn't believe that I would rather spend my time in dirty clothes covered in grease (and god forbid in my hair too) instead of playing golf...Now don't get me going on that sport.. Todd
this guy is truly a FAIRY !!! wtf is his problem ? everything that he mentioned as being " a pain" can easily be corrected with a little maintanance. but then again, like someone else said...so few people know what maintanace even is these days...because all they know how to do is jump in their hondas, turn the key and drive. for cryin out loud, it's an old car...what does this moron expect ??? i wish i could e-mail this fag, and tell him how gay he is. sounds to me like he needs the extra absorbant pads.
That guy is truly an ASS CLOWN! By the way I have never heard of any car with a back-up braking system. Could someone lrt me know what car has this.
This one got a bunch of play over in the Fiat forum. They came to the same conclusion. You're either a car guy or not. This guy isn't and got what he deserved. Good thing is that he will probably not fuck up anymore cool old cars now.
I liked the part where that homo said his o'l lady about put it in the drink off fishermans warf... That would have been a shame to lose the car but damn, almost worth it if she ended up going in. I was going to respond to the story but you have to be a member. We should all join and say how gay he is.....
god damn would someone please cram some wadded up newspaper in that dudes cunt. what the hell there are like 5 different lays of shit that is wrong with that whole story...god...i may have to douche myself after that
This is the deal. Most of us grew up with carburetors, no crumple zones, lap belts at most and the whole 9 yards. I never heard a decree that cars were to be troublefree and safe in 1963. We've somehow done well over the years since with throttles that you have to pump to start, no A/C, rumbly exhausts and all of the rest. I'll admit that I like my '88 Lincoln LSC, the second fuelie car that I've ever owned. It's reasonably quiet, starts easily, has brakes that came with a dual pot M/C, handles very well, has lumbar adjustable seats and all of the rest. It's reasonably quick, too.. With the correct diagnostic tools and some self education, I've even learned to repair it's OBD-I system. But I get a helluva lot bigger thrill blippin' the carb in my '64 ford or my race car listening to the pipes roar while they warm up enough to idle.. These cars are the staff of life to me. Jan
No chance of that"rump ranger"finding a decent mechanic,not where he lives(frisco).Who would dare bend over a fender,with"shirt lifters"like him nearby!
As good as modern "reliability" is, things still break and when they do, good luck fixin em on the side of the road. When I have an electrical problem in my truck, that means the ignition or the lights cause that's about all that's electrical, which is easy enough to fix. When a new car like my family's '04 Infiniti has an electrical problem (thankfully it hasn't yet, knock on wood), the whole car shuts down cause everything is electronically controlled.
