Worst car I ever owned. And I have owned some stinkers !!

Bettyemae · ‎08-05-2021

Thanks, John! I’d like to carry your bag...

Bettyemae · ‎07-05-2021

Scotch. Preferably Lagavulin. Helps when that little screw holding points in place disappears down the distributor.

Bettyemae · ‎07-05-2021

Whoa! I gotta go. Let’s see what’s on Craigslist...

The words in this article I most noticed were ‘plod along’. These ‘sports cars’ were overweight, underpowered and had the build quality of a ‘Barbie Dream House’ (with apologies to Mattel).

If there is a better value in the used Motorsport market please tell me now. ‘Cause I wanna know!

‘...the perfect muscle cruiser’... Just who among us would ‘cruise’ a million buck car?

It was twenty years LATER that the tampon was invented. These ladies had ‘brass ovaries’!

DC ... one of these ‘Hurst badged Ramblers’ show up at my local ‘run what ya’ brung’ drag strip (with the window sticker still on it’) and proceeded to embarrass everything from a Boss 302 to a GTX. Nobody wanted to race it. Google it and find that it was more than a badged Rambler.

Seems like Plymouth knocked off the butt ugly AMC Matador to come up with this car.

I used Florida based National Transport. I paid extra for enclosed shipping. Car showed up on an open low-boy with rock chips with paint sand blasted by road debris. He arrived at 11 PM after calling to say he would arrive at 7. National Transport offered 50 bucks as compensation. And another time is used U-Ship. Driver made appointment and then never showed up.

Anyone else ever have a ‘Mini-T’? It was a bit more sophisticated with it’s convertible top. Around 1970. Very high quality.

Where’s Tom’s 928?

Bettyemae · ‎31-08-2020

Every first Saturday Scottsdale convenes a car show at a local shopping mall. A guy always shows with a ragged Hornet AMX. His is the only car there with a steering wheel lock. We wonder if it is a joke or...

The English Pinto

‘Why pay $10,000 for a CBX six when you can buy a 2500 buck Suzuki?’ What a question ...

Bettyemae · ‎21-08-2020

These rattle traps are LUXURY cars?

Miata Is Always The Answer

Bettyemae · ‎14-08-2020

Three people and bricks. Suspension must have been collapsed to the ground.

It says ‘the ten most expensive’...not ‘motorcycles some guy has sitting in his garage in New Jersey‘...

Bettyemae · ‎29-07-2020

Ok, Karen

Bettyemae · ‎20-07-2020

Take a 20 year old Lamborghini Diablo (go look) then add some kitsch and lots of visual gimmicks (ala ‘80’s Firebird) and this is the look you get. A perfect car for old guys in Scottsdale that don’t know understeer from a Jersey cow.

Richardson, Texas, 1966. A pimply faced kid (me) pulls up in an International Scout to deliver a bucket of fried chicken. Fortunately for citizens of Richardson the Chicken Delight International Scout delivery vehicle was NOT powered by a Mopar 440.

Bettyemae · ‎02-07-2020

Good idea. Stay where you are and go fix that salt rusted hulk in your garage.

P.T. Barnum is saying ‘See, told ya’ so’.

Bettyemae · ‎25-06-2020

‘Three pony cars’? There was a car called Javelin...

Bettyemae · ‎24-06-2020

Italian build with GM underpinnings. What could possibly go wrong?

Bettyemae · ‎24-06-2020

Yea, right. You are on the thirty second row and watching David Gilmour do Comfortably Numb and you aren’t gonna rush the stage ...

Bettyemae · ‎18-06-2020

Just try to buy a ‘four-pipe’ Z1 for what LTDs sell for. No comparison.

Bettyemae · ‎11-06-2020

If there was a Rolling Stones of bikes it had to be the Kawasaki H2 Mach IV triple. Raucous and nasty. Period tests proved it quicker than the Z1 though way less bike in every other manner.

Bettyemae · ‎05-06-2020

In ‘69 I chose not to buy a Hemi Road Runner because the warranty was only a year. Seems it was a 900 buck option, if I remember right. What a dumbazz.

Bettyemae · ‎23-05-2020

Duh

Bettyemae · ‎22-05-2020

‘The cruise as it used to be’. I’m in. Finally something good happening from his delays in January and February and March!

Bettyemae · ‎20-05-2020

Well, they certainly were never abused, right?

Bettyemae · ‎06-05-2020

Waaaaaahahaha!

Bettyemae · ‎02-05-2020

I’ve seen more UN-cool cars here than cool cars. Pinto? Seriously? Bronco? Hornet? I’ll stop before I insult someone.

Bettyemae · ‎02-05-2020

Or the Hudson Terrapin! Oh, wait...

Bettyemae · ‎25-04-2020

IMHO a 1971-1974 Javelin with an AMX option is a beautiful and desirable and great driving vehicle. My ‘74 (with it’s less desirable 360 and automatic) makes for a great road driver and always turns heads. But the ‘70 AMX? THAT is (and was when new) a true muscle car and was hardly just a Javelin with a shorter wheelbase...the differences between the cars are too numerous to mention here. Putting AMX trim on a Javelin or a ‘77 Hornet is just that...trim.

Bettyemae · ‎24-04-2020

Jensen Interceptor. 440 Mopar.

Bettyemae · ‎20-04-2020

That is not a ‘Javelin’ AMX. It is an AMX. Javelin AMX came about in 1971. The 1970 AMX was certainly the epitome of AMC muscle (apologies to Scambler owners). It was it’s own car, not a Javelin trim option.

Bettyemae · ‎16-04-2020

I had a girlfriend who owned a 308. I loved that car. But compared to the 928 it was like a kit car. The Ferrari just did not have the sophistication or build quality of the Porsche. You really must drive a 928 to appreciate this Porsche.
