Life isn't fair, is it? Re: smashed Echo, etc...

Since our recently rear-ended Echo will be in the body shop for at least 3
weeks, the other guy's insurance is paying for the rental. Craig (My son,
for all who don't know), has been chomping at the bit to drive our new Scion,
but my husband forbade it. When we went to pick up the rental car, I found
out Enterprise would not cover Craig, so I have to drive the rental. At
first Craig was overjoyed, because he had to drive the Scion back, and will
use it until hubby gets back, or the Echo is fixed, whichever comes first.
Craig's joy became instant pain when he saw what the rental car was...

A candy-apple red Pontiac Sunfire (Tricked out, no less)

My poor baby boy

No, they're ugly as crap.

If I had to drive a Pontiac, it'd be something like the one my dad
had, a '69 Firebird w/454 V8 in it.....

-LMB

They never put a 454 in a Firebird. And I wouldnt brag about driving a
sunchicken.

They didn't put a Caddy 502 in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, either - but
I've seen it done. Took Joe two /big/ shoehorns and a lot of cussing,
not to mention a custom five-row three-pass baffled radiator to cool
the beast.

The factory did put a 460 in a Bonneville Convertible, 67 IIRC. ;-)
That car would jump sideways from the torque when you opened up the
secondaries on that QuadraJet, then you got a big <WHOOM> from under
the hood, and "Houston, We Have Liftoff"...

But I had a freshly minted license, and I KNEW that car would get me
in a world of trouble if I drove it too much - and the insurance agent
said the bill would be double - so I let Mom keep driving it. (It was
offered.) Took the Corvair for my daily driver instead.

Nah, he wraps that rascal...

Natalie

Probably exquisite torture though Natalie!!!

Speaking of conversions (above) I knew a fellow that took a 1963
tempest, reworked rearend and stuffed a 421 Pontiac HO in it. He
called it his "prototype" GTO (was in about 64 or so he did this). It
would literally trash factory GTO's of same era, really a sleeper.

Anyhow with 4 speed, going down hill he could light the tires up to
about 100 mph. It was a rocket but scary as crap to ride in cause
brakes weren't too hot

One of our local northern California toys. I just had to live with my
283 El Camino (64) (RED) that I put 3 two barrels on.

Ah the memories us old turkeys have

I can't imagine anything with a 454 (or ~454) in it being ugly
(unless it's in your enemy's car)

and it must be working 'cause I'm
the oldest now that I've ever been"

Hmm a Scion or a Sunfire... I would pick the Scion any day, Rice burns
in my vein's. No domestic! That and a Sunfire's are based of the
Cavalier, A crappy car and discontinued for the Cobalt. On a side note
which Scion?

CelicaGT00

Cars went way too fast, couldn't stop for crap = scary assed ride
(assuming one was sober enough to be scared).
