Don't judge teenagers. I don't know if he's one but there's the dying out breed like me who know alot about 1:1 mechanics and vehicles. Some even know more than other adults on here, so theres no need to judge us teens.

Wow, an educated statement from what must be a world traveler with years of life experience. Or a tween that hasn't even earned his driver's permit, I'm not sure.

Thats funny im 28 ive been around cars since i was old enough to walk i work on allof my own cars been driving since i could see over the steering wheel and reach the pedals i am a car nut ive been told i have gasoline for blood. Ive drove everything from a pinto to a semi porche and a limo. Your probley the type of person who takes there 1:1 to a shop not me. Do it yoursf you might learn something and another going back to the ford thing did u know in the late thirtys ford was goin bankrupt chevy tried to get the loan to buy the company and the banks said itd be a bad buy so wouldnt let them have the loan or chevy made the first 302 motor not ford

there are those of us that have been into cars since before we could walk. It's not explainable, just something we noticed early in life that developed into a passion. My aunt used to tell me stories about when I was 2 years old, I made them follow the city bus in their car, stopping at each stop, and I'd watch the people get on and off. It's always been cars for me, I never developed much of an interest in sports, but my heart beats fast whenever I see a cool car!

Here's a picture I drew when I was two or three. My grandmother was the great saver of all things and gave this to me when she was cleaning out her house. Kinda says it all!

I always felt the 2000-2005 Monte Carlo to be a disaster design wise. Then these are the same folks who introduced the 2000 Impala, talk about identity crisis.

One I haven't heard mentioned....the Renault Le Car. It looked like le carp! (deliberate misspelling - censors didn't like the real word)

Sam

If it wasn't for the Le Car, there wouldn't have been the R5 Turbo. But then again, the Le Car was pretty ugly but the R5 Turbo was a work of art.

No one has mentioned the 58 - 60 Lincolns. :( Those are real bad! They make the Edsel look really good! The original Kaisers and Frazers were just boring slabs! Totally unredeeming in my book. Refrigerators were sexier! :lol:

Chevyfever, by 28 I would have thought you'd have a better grasp of the English language...

I would say that the FIRST American sports car is a tie between a Mercer and a Stutz. then again, the '53 Corvette was probably the best Chevrolet could manage with a twenty year old engine design, coupled to a power-robbing automatic transmission.

I'll give you the transmission, but the engine was a new for '53 design, with very little parts interchange with the earlier engine. Even then, it was only a 16 year old design had it used the earlier engine.

I do agree with you on Mercer and the Stutz, plus there was the Stoddard-Dayton.

I don't know what a fond is, but using text slang is no excuse. I'm only four years older than you and I post almost exclusively on my phone. I wouldn't dream of coming across like the quote above.

So you're lazy. That explains it... And I posted this with my phone also.

Although I disagree with chevyfever2009 about car design I think his posts are clear enough. This isn't a grammar and spelling forum is it?

I'm pretty sure its stated in the rules about spelling and grammar.

One car that pop up in my head on the "what on earth where they thinking list" as for design is the Stutz Blackhawk.
