Smoke Wagon

Ford Five Hundred: Audi A6:

The car from The Car? It was a relatable character IMO. I’d be evil too if somebody slathered 5 cans of Bondo on my back.

Anybody have a giant block of cheese they need shredded? Look no further than the grille of that green... thing.

I was interested in the new F-150 when it first came out, but the belt driven oil pump on the 5.0 and the fact that you’d have to turn off auto start/stop every time you drive it sort of put me off. I’m sure there’s a couple good workarounds for that now though.

Was the other deer the mother or a fawn as well?

“Just one more thing...”

Louie Louie...

The Buick from Rain Man?

Hard to say. There’s a lot of movie cars that haven’t been kitted. It would make sense to have the subject be of something that can also be sold as a kit without a movie tie-in. So the chances of it being something out there like the dog van from Dumb and Dumber are probably far less than it being something like the Fratellis’ Jeep Cherokee from the Goonies, which is a subject that could easily be made stock and could be reissued even after the film studio’s licensing agreement elapses. Just my .02.

Lol.

Only 7 years of ownership experience across 4 vehicles so no crazy lemon stories from me. Worst/most inconvenient thing that happened to me on the road was either the fuel pump going out on my ‘80 F-150 (I had to push it out of a busy intersection and make the repair in a Staples parking lot) or the shifter cable snapping on my ‘03 Ram 1500 in a hotel parking lot, it still drove home fine and I replaced the broken cable the next day. A little mechanical knowledge and preventative maintenance goes a real long ways, partly why I’m still upset that auto shop classes have all but disappeared in high schools. Although overall, cars are lasting longer than before (at least the powertrains) and major repairs aren’t as frequent of an issue. For better or worse, they’re becoming less romanticized by the general public and thought of more as appliances.

No matter how understaffed, inefficient, and poorly organized the USPS gets, there’s always the IRS to blow those statistics out of the water.

R.I.P. The song made the movie.

What?

Hey keep your head up, most (including me) consider the GNX as a muscle car and it had a V6. Granted it did have a go-fast snail courtesy of Garrett. There’s been some performance parts made for the 4.0 V6.

Depends on the amount of cylinders.

Maybe they’ll show the ‘49 Ford reissue next month.

You’re 2 for 3.

Yeah, it needs a bigger grille.

I have high hopes for it. Just look at how much other technology has advanced in the last five years.

Bummer. They have made quite a lot of good songs. Would hate to see the band dissolve.

Still about 4.40 a gallon in Roseburg.

Congratulations to your son, Alan. Sounds like he was raised right no doubt. Sorry about your father’s health however. It’s an accomplishment in itself to make into your eighties though.

Thanks Carl. Is it true that kids are like wine: they get more expensive with the passage of time? Lol
