Hello, I'm guessing this is where I should post this. This is Sue, the wife Matt may have mentioned on occasion. I am so sad to tell you that Slantsick passed away suddenly on January 28. He was the sweetest, most interesting person I have ever known, my heart and soul for almost 14 years, my...

Only 5? Impossible. But, going with my gut- '57 DeSoto '61 Valiant '66 Barracuda '69 Dart Aussie Valiant ute

Not me- but then, my mom had it's twin (except for the wheels of course) when I was a kid- great car. Probably where my love for wagons started.

Depends who you ask, I guess- I owned a '70 and a '73 Dart, both slant 6, both 4 door. That's a good thing to me, but lots of people seem to disagree. Closest thing I've owned that fits the bill was a two-tone grey '82 Fairmont 2-door sedan w/ the 2.3 four-cylinder- what a dog.

While I must admit a fondness for the giant chrome frisbee caps you described- my parents had an '84 Ram B350 van w/ those same caps for years and years... steelies and dogdishes is always the right answer. I'd leave them the color they are, too.

Don't worry- that hurricane will have to spend the day before it gets to you chewing up the Maine coast.. all that Massachusetts-owned beachfront property oughta satisfy it. If not, a platoon of amateur Maine humorist-historians (anybody over 25, in other words) will hop in our rusty '78...

Keep a close eye on your GF for "side effects".. :-D

Be careful, dude- the mantis can be deadly.

Obviously, the only way to settle this debate is for you to post a pic of the shorts in question... :love7:

I was just about to dispatch the team of St Bernards with kegs of Schlitz and 20w50 to find you and your "lesser half".. I need my fix of four-door Dart posts; it's been almost a month. Hope you keep in touch- we do miss you guys.

Well, generally I'd say I'm against "remakes", especially of movies that were about as good as they could be in their time. And I'm a huge John Wayne fan. But, this is a Coen brothers movie (Raising Arizona, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou, etc.), so you can rest easy it's not gonna be some...

Love this song. "Come On Eileen" may have been the only "hit" from Dexy's- I think it was used in a John Hughes movie or something -but that whole album (Too-Rye-Ay) is fantastic. Likewise, Men At Work ("Who Can It Be Now?"/"Down Under") got thought of as something of a novelty band, but...

"Service"? "Resale"? :sign5: She should get more "service" than she does, but we're not selling her under any circumstances.. when this truck finally gives up the ghost in a non-repairable way, she's welcome to quietly rot away in the front yard until she completely disintegrates- I'm not gonna...

Kind of a long shot, but I know a few of you guys own /owned Ford trucks in the same age-range as mine, so maybe one of you guys has experienced something similiar.. OK- basically, a few months ago I glanced down at the F150's odo, which read 261,8xx. A week later, it read 261,6xx. I figured I...

Love those Aussie Falcons.. and the Mopars, of course. Here's a few pics from a small show I went to yesterday. '36 GMC pickup '36 Pontiac '50 Ford '54 Merc Sun Valley- 1 of 9761 '54 Chevy '54 Ford- nifty! '55 Pontiac '72 Bronco '78 Mustang II King Cobra '79...

Ditching a '90s GM product is never insane. If you said you traded your Blazer for this, I'd still give you the thumbs up.

Love that GMC. A couple more from CIA Salvage. (They oughta change their name, they don't "salvage" much these days, they crush it all :angry7:)

If corn oil is made from corn, and peanut oil is made from peanuts, what is baby oil made from?

Yeah, the "PRV" six.. P and R stand for Peugeot and Renault respectively, so that tells you something. Same engine that was in the DeLorean, parethetically. They had a problem (later corrected, I understand) with oil starvation in the top end. As you say, the ol' slant 4 was essentially...

Heck, you want embarrassing? I've actually got this in my CD collection: Not embarrasing enough? Okay, I also own this CD: :angry7:

It's okay dude, you're among friends here.. but: HAHAHAHAHA!! :-D

Pretty well covered right there, but I've got two words for ya: A-ha. And actually, alot of that stuff was (is) good music.. just depends on whether you like synthesizers, I guess. Being born in '76, I didn't really have any choice but to like it. At home, I had my father's massive collection...

I think it's arguable how "American" any car or truck built during the last 30 years plus really is.. StrokerScamp's "Chevy" LUV? Isuzu. Another guy mentioned a first-year S10- again, Isuzu. First year Horizon/Omni- Simca chassis with a Volkwagon engine. Pinto? Yes, most of it's dangerous design...

Man, you mean I have to pick just one? Okay, I guess I could just lump all the GM FWD V6 shitboxes I've owned together- in the friggin crusher, preferably. The first was an Olds Cutlass Ciera I got from the local used car dealer (MISTAKE) after my '70 Dart was T-boned. Great car, right? Working...

Some sweet rides here- love that '65 Comet. I guess the F150 really is the best-selling truck in America.. here's the latest pic of Lady Kathleen De Rattlerod, '92 F150 4x4, 300 six auto, approx. 265-270K (apparently it's possible for a digital odo to reach it's mechanical limits).

Too many examples to count- I run into a lot of Chevy guys. One of the worst though, was meeting a guy in a 7-11 parking lot with a sweet '69 Swinger. Naturally I complemented him on it, to which he responded, "Actually, it's a 1970." We were standing about ten feet from my '70 Dart at the...

Damn, surrounded by finned Mopars and Swedish women- some guys have all the luck! :-D

Thanks to their later offerings, the very word "Buick" is profanity in my family- but hell, at least the engine points the right way in this one, and powers the correct pair of wheels.. and I love the color combo.

Ha! They're great. I don't know anybody who's even heard of them. I listen to a lot of bluegrass, in the car and out.. can definitely get a guy in trouble if he responds to the tempo with his foot. I think I'd stack just about any banjo player up against the hard rock/metal guitar virtuosos...

Do some people call you a space cowboy? (I'm sorry- I couldn't help myself. ) I guess mine's fairly obvious, really.. When I was growing up, my parents had about a half a dozen Darts, two Valiants, a Volare wagon, a '78 Tradesman and an '84 Ram B350- all slant powered. My first two cars were...
