[quote=Nicole][quote=Shadowfax]Aw, don’t rain on the car show. I consider myself a feminist and I think this thread is hilarious. I just wish I knew more about cars so I could continue the ruse.[/quote]

I’m sure you have a black friend too…[/quote]
I also find this thread funny.

My husband is a 50’s model that is partially restored but doesn’t run as hard/full-out as in his glory days… but he looks great in the garage and is reliable transportation. If you don’t mind the occasional backfiring of gas/smoke. LOL.

I’m a non-flashy 60’s dodge dart. Indestructible, reliable… was never the sexy sports car – but can take neglect, easy to work on, and still keeps running.

[quote=Ricechex]LOL….BF is an early 1970’s model…said he is a “pinto” because of exploding rear end. Says I am a “volvo”–reliable, dependable, and just keeps ticking. Something to be said for dem older models….[/quote]

Pinto, eh? Those were all recalled a while back, I thought, for obvious safety reasons…

I dunno, the new Volvo’s are looking pretty sleek (there is even a convertible model) and I guess they have some extra power under the hood now? Anyone with real car knowledge out there that can give more detail? And I like the safety features on their SUV.

[quote=bearishgurl]I can so totally relate, Shadowfax, except for one small caveat . . . lol. I remember the “late sixties” (and earlier) models to be equipped with a “three on the tree” or “four on the floor.” I distinctly remember when the five speed (overdrive) became available on Toyotas (about 1976). I once drove a borrowed 1976 Celica GT more than halfway across the country and having the overdrive made cruising so much fun! I myself owned manual steering-column shifts and then manual stick-shift models until I bought my first “automatic” model in the early nineties, a 1988 Toyota Camry LE! This was as awesome to drive as it was well-appointed ;=)

Perhaps your older model just feels like it has five speeds . . . is possibly ahead of its (his?) time, huh??[/quote]

My “older model” doesn’t really feel old–it’s/he’s just right for me! Older being relative, as always. In fact, I think one of his favorite cars was a Toyota Celica he had as a teenager.

Unfortunately, back in my teens, I was relegated to taking the bus. 🙁 But I do love public transportation in a town that has properly planned for it–unlike here (but getting better).
