    Although i would want other vintage cars to keep the Flathead ragtop company. A car getting lonely is a horrible thing.
  2. A Horse With No Name
    Some excitement for ya then, Balthy.
  3. A Horse With No Name
    I prefer No comp0romise Sports cars.
  4. A Horse With No Name
    Audi builds Excitement!
  5. A Horse With No Name
    Love the thought of something that can get into the dirt, be it a Rally car or a RAM!
  6. A Horse With No Name
    On a personal note, this is highly refreshing for me as an enthusaist to read this. Yes, i would totally rock this truck. I have always wanted a full size truck.
  7. A Horse With No Name
    Methinks yes, that is what he is doing.

    Flat head V8...yes...and a 40 Ragtop to run it in. Although a fellow poster said anything with less than 1000 torque is not worth driving....hmmm...I damn sure would drive that vintage Ford!
  9. A Horse With No Name
    Except for me...getting early vintage Ford disease again. 1940 Ford ragtop with a flathead please. None of this silly overhead valve stuff Dwight keeps talking about.

    Local tow truck driver I know loves them. Hauling broken ones paid for his daughter's wedding.

    Mine is under 100k and I still don't want big payments. I enjoy tools, eating out, good wine, travel, good books, live hockey...and a bunch of other things. Even if I had Mitt Romney level money I can't see going beyond the thirties for a personal car purchase... Okay...maybe a CTS V or a Shelby Mustang...but only if I can pay cash for it new. And even then clean Shelbys and V cars are available used in the thirties all day long. The Ford Ecosport is as close to a ten grand crossover as you will find. Chevy used to build a very decent bare bones small suv.

    Most people I know who drive luxury cars are much more known for thier achievement that enabled them to buy the car than they are by the car.

    And my point is that it would be better if more people thought like enthusiasts and just bought what made them happy. I have two mothers...was adopted...know and get along well with both. Birth mother drove a Jag....got hit and the jag got totaled...replaced it with a Lincoln. She hangs out in all of the right country clubs and social circles. No one really cared that she switched brands. Pretty much everyone thought the lighter color of the Lincoln (some shade of metallic dune, kind of a nice tan) would be better in the Florida sun than the black of the (now crumpled) Jag. And that was about it. One of her neighbors is an incredibly cool guy and drives an E class Benz...but no one cares that he bought that a Benz...they like the dude because he is a great guy. If Chevrolet built the Peto Bismal pink Aveo in the ken and Barbie limited edition and it brought SMK Status...you can bet the family jewels it would be in his driveway. And a 1930's V16 Cadillac would be just another used car if it didn't bring him Status. I like a lot of Benzes...but all i ever hear from SMK is sales numbers and status. Dammit man...live life on your own terms a little bit. Americans were not born to be sheep...which is probably why Cadillac is out for certain people. Cadillac has an edgy nature that should appeal to tech types, entrepreneurs, athletes, and people who take risks, But I might suggest the brand Checker and the model Marathon for SMK. Low risk financially as it is already depreciated....outsold every other taxi for decades so a sales leader....moar interior room than most modern Luxury cars...and he can lecture us on how smooth that inline six is. Drunken Wino as passenger not included.
  14. A Horse With No Name
    Yeah...I don't know how people manage big car payments...especially with big mortgages.
  15. A Horse With No Name
    I was saying that in the average population people really don't care that much what kind of car you buy. Show up in a BMW or Benz and you have the status of a luxury car...but unless you have a brand fanboi 99 percent of the population does not give a rats ass which one you bought.
  16. A Horse With No Name
    Of course there will be...a bunch of elderly men with sand in their panties will bitch on C and G about how this is the end of the automotive universe as we know it. Starting in 3,2,1,....
  17. A Horse With No Name
    I am happy for you. Honestly, if I had a magic wand I would wave it and you would stop overcompensating by evaluating items as status purchases to give you the most status in the room. Status is important as a luxury car....but buy what you like...no one in their right mind gives a shit if you buy a Lincoln or a Lexus...or a Benz or a BMW.
  18. A Horse With No Name
    At any rate...and I agree completely with your fine post Dwight... Can we all start looking at cars as enthusiasts rather than having a @!c& waving contest in terms of who outsells who by 300 units? We might as well whine about why one apartment building in a sim city simulation has more electronic residents. And I am all in on the CT6...fine automobile.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Like these...but that XT5 is a sexy beast in that color! Looks like something a sexually starved Miami Widow would drive...not reeking of Luxury in any real way. Enough remains to keep merit in the brand though. It beats the living Dog $#!+ out of the BMW products...for damned sure.

    The people that have deposits on it will go buy a Volvo SUV when no actual Trucks are built.
  21. A Horse With No Name
    We once used a pre-Powerstroke Ford F350 diesel to tow a 36,000 pound load on a trailer. Slow going and illegal as hell, but we made it.

    We were going to go to Cleveland to Help with a high school debate tournament Saturday, that might not happen. When I get into a debate with a religious person, I usually say that I am not very religious and don't want to talk about it. Works 90 percent of the time. If they choose to get ugly and push the issue, I am very good at pushing back and usually make people angry/uncomfortable/enraged/want to beat my ass/seething... until they leave me alone. People that want to have an intelligent discussion about religion are entirely different...will also have intelligent discussions with respectful people all day long if they want to.
  23. A Horse With No Name
    Just be honest with your lack of belief.
  24. A Horse With No Name
    It is too god of a car to die, methinks.
  25. A Horse With No Name
    I have driven a bunch of them that are very smooth.
