What do you drive and are you willing to admit it's not as cool as a classic Montego?

Miata and at the moment Jeep Wrangler. I can agree because classic Montego's came as wagons and I can't fit my shit in either car, which is a serious bummer, man. Haha.

Growin' up? I can only answer this question in song.

I stood stone-like at midnight, suspended in my masquerade

I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade

I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch

I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and come out with my soul untouched

I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, "Sit down," I stood up

Ooh... growin' up

The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing

I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing

I pushed B-52 and bombed them with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing

I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school, never once gave thought to landing

I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, "Come down," I threw up

Ooh... growin' up

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere, and you know it's really hard to hold your breath

I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress

Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars

And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car

I hid in the mother breast of the crowd, but when they said, "Pull down," I pulled up

Ooh... growin' up

Ooh... growin' up

Haha you don't even need a wagon to fit stuff in the back of a classic Montego:

(that's one of the pics the seller took years ago before I bought it)

It currently holds a toolbox, the old manifold and carb, a couple towels for the hot vinyl seats in the summer, 2 folding camp chairs oh and an entire exhaust system.

Yep, I asked them for the manifolds and the y pipe if they put on the headers the mechanic was going o hook me up with (they didn't fit) so instead of just giving me the y pipe, they put the entire old single exhaust in the trunk lol. Still there!

I've seen him 5 times so far; 99 on the Reunion Tour at MSG (lol sooo loud; dat Jungleland doe), 07 on the Magic Tour at Giants Stadium (the House that Bruuuuce Built), then in 2013 I saw him at Fenway (Dropkick Murphy's played with the band at the end, rained, was sick), Gillette three days later (they were not happy with the lyric about the Giants in "Wrecking Ball" lol; dat Jungleland doe x2), and then again a month later at a show on his birthday, delayed till 10, went till 3 am (BRUUUUUUUCE).

^such a typical Springsteen fan response lol

1) I used to love doing retardedly long F1 write ups no one read. I like the new turbos on paper, but the rev limiting is retarded. Rating: Canned Corned Beef Hash (hangover guilty pleasure but gives you an awful case of the shits)

2) I remember a few years ago when I was a freshman in college (holyshitifeelsoold) they did a test of streaming the ENTIRETY of the French WRC Rally (long LIVE continuous heli shots, onboards, jump cams, etc) and it was the tits. They don't have that in place yet and it's the only way to show rally. WRC TV is such an 80s call back and is overloaded with interviews (zzz), we want cars. And we want them now. Rating: Boxed Mashed Potatoes (bullshit; imitation of what we really want)

3) I loved MGS and all singleplayer games like it and Uncharted. But for the life of me I can't pick up a video game controller and not feel like it's a waste of time. So I immediately put it back down and turn off the console :/ (exception: N64 drinking games involving NFL Blitz or Mario Kart). Rating: Thanksgiving Mashed Potatoes (soooo good, sooo buttery, can't eat it more than once a year)

Planters does all nuts but coconuts. DISCRIMINATION I SAY

1) I remember your F1 writeups, although it was before I was commenting on things. Also, all the hard drugs have faded my memory, so I might be confusing your with Gordon Murray. Or Shakira. Or David Hayter. Or Decartes. But, I digress. I like the idea of an energy-limited formula (cough, fuel tank limits, cough), but all the extra BS, like fuel mass sensors, rev limits, etc. just make things needlessly complicated.

2) When I had campus broadband, I used to torrent every single bit of WRC coverage I could. The un-commented helicopter shots are the best, and don't get enough play even in the world feed that goes out.

3) I know that feeling. I know that feeling.

Can you tell me what kind of car this is, and what engine it has? I'm dying to know.

Ex. President Mack41 > fhrblig 01/14/2015 at 13:17

2

Ah, it's clearly a "Hyundai Accent". It's a very prideful Japanese machine, the "Accent" is not it's Japanese name, but just a reminder that all the writing on the car is supposed to be pronounced with a very obvious and borderline offensive Japanese-English accent.

What is you opinion about the condition this car is in, and what do you think of the price?

I'm serious. Also note that the last third of the description is in English.

Ex. President Mack41 > duurtlang 01/14/2015 at 14:32

The car looks like it's in great condition. I would ask about the restoration, why it was necessary. I feel that the price is high due to the restoration. I have to admit that I haven't been keeping current with Integrales the past few years and their resale values but for a non-Evo that seems very high.

Colorado yes, Ranger no. Last January I traded it for this:

then I'll set term limits for all governmental positions, force all Congress/ senate /etc to put their children through public education and auto military service, make the car import rule 0 years. I'll run as the third party "more parties more fun", make a camp Daytona, make Born to Run the official song of NJ, make Calvin & Hobbes the official comic of America and have it taught in all schools, and surf/snowboard everyday.

Do you love the LaSupra as much as I do? (Hint: You do not).

It was apparently at Goodwood this year but either I missed it or it didn’t show up, can’t say I was too let down however.

And of course, welcome back to oppo.
