I was told I have poor taste in cars

So now I'm going to slam OPPO with Montego's because I was informed I have terrible taste in cars, new and old when I said I had an 07 Milan and a 68 Montego. Yes, they disliked the Montego and were quite aware of the "1968" that comes before Montego, they were not mistaken into thinking it was one of those horrible ones from the 2000s. Not that I care much either way whether the Milan is in good taste, it's a DD that was the right price and gets good mileage for my 52 mile a day round trip.

We'll start with mine and then a bunch of fun ones.

Google image search provided all these:

What do you guys think, hows my taste in old cars?

I'm not sure, but you seem to be fixated on Mercurys. Montegos, even.

Haha, I have a huge affinity for American Classics. I just happen to own Mercury's. I like that they are a little different from the common muscle car you find.

If I say who "they" are it'll be hard to "rise above the troll" as I'm trying to do.

I could be persuaded though, he or she was a huge dick

As long as it isn't a Maverick, or Comet, since you are a Mercury man, you're okay in my book.

One of my "crazy idea cars" involves a mercury milan. Step 1) buy a four banger stick shift milan. Step 2) Junk the engine and transmission. Step 3) Swap in a mazdaspeed 6 engine and drivetrain. Step 4) add some body accessories and some new wheels

Step 5) Enjoy my modern interpretation of a Mercury Cyclone Spoiler!

damn you twisted my arm. At least I'm not the annoying guy in Austin Powers you literally have to ask 3 times.

cadillacsinourdreams was a huge dick about my brother in laws car being stolen. Some how his wheel color choice and beat up car means it doesn't matter that it was stolen and then i have shit taste in cars for supporting him, when I said what I drove he continued to say my taste in cars is lacking.

Oh well, I think I've gotten enough support from the group here to confirm my first belief that my classic is awesome.

not that I cared anyhow. I'll be spinning the tires whether he likes it or not. Maybe he drives a prius?

Which year of Comet dare you to diss, infidel?

(Guy at model store the other day said his uncle had traded a Hudson for a Comet. "Which year - 60, 61?" "74" "BURN THE WITCH")

Hahaha that sounds fun.

I have to say I was dissapointed that the Fusion Sport and the Lincoln MKZ get the 3.5L V6 and the Milan only gets the 3.0 V6, which I have.

It's a surprisingly sporty little guy for how cheap it was.

Yeah they're as cheap or cheaper than the fusions because people forgot they were made. I almost bought a 4-banger manual one for 7 grand last year. It had 30k miles on it, but it was a 2008 and I just didn't have the straight cash to swing it. Still would be a fun car to thrash on.

I've never seen someone abbreviate it as 'Go. I like it. Can't use Monte because of the Monte Carlos... I've used 'Tego before. But I like 'Go.

It has a 302 and a C4 auto, which matches my original window sticker I have for it.

What doesn't match is the 4 barrel Holly I put on with the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake...or the dual Flowmaster Super 44s.

Other than all stock/original. If you'd like ear pleasure I'd be happy to reply with the exhaust video.

Mine is an 07 I bought in 2012 for 12k. V6 and only 45k miles on it. I'm up at almost 84k now and there's an exit ramp near my work that I've been known to blast through at about 85 MPH in the Milan. That 3.0 can be quite nice.

05/20/2014 at 15:17

Haha I avoided them because of the amount of CVT's in them. I did hear they did a model year or two without CVTs though.

I was going to go with Monte, but didn't for the reason you mentioned. The 'Go just came to me.

Can't go wrong with a 302.

I have heard the exhaust video...

Your taste is terrible.

If it's not modern and fuel efficient, and slammed, stanced, bagged, or bombed its just terrible. You are literally the worst person in the world. Worse that Charles Manson.

You can get them cheap because no one searches for a Mercury any more.

Did you see the post I had with another guy in this thread? to sum up - on the way to work if it's clear I take the long exit ramp at 85 mph haha

05/21/2014 at 09:27

yea man!

All the options of the higher trim level Ford Fusion of the same year and less money because I bought it after Mercury died and no one buys Mercurys anymore.

I bought a 5 year old car with 45k miles on it, 220 HP V6, 28 MPG, and under 12k.

That has NP written all over it.

What I wanted was a Lincoln MKZ because it had the 3.5L V6 instead of my 3.0L.

I have the 68 Mercury for a fun car, this was literally a commuter car which happened to be not as beige as it appears. Oh and I do Advertising for Ford so I was really trying to get into a Ford product, I was sick of hiding in the back corner of the Ford parking lot in a Chevy.

I just don't like Modern Mercury styling. It is always a grill and a badge away from a Ford. Just me though. We also don't/didn't see a lot of Mercury up here in Canuckistan.

I would however love a chopped 51 in flat black. I just think they look cool.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > The Compromiser
05/21/2014 at 11:12

haha nice.

Well, it got me the options, like steering wheel controls, upgraded speakers, nicer seats and random chrome details on the inside for less than the comparable Ford.

Also it has an analog clock, so you know that shit is classy

why thank you!

The only benefit is that it keeps the initial purchase price low because no one is looking for them.

Oh, and they didn't turn in to "Gran" Torino's until 1972.
