Some of the things I see defy explanation as I cannot believe how nice these things are and are still in service. I'll start it

I was surprised when I lived in Arkansas how many clean, older cars there were. Not that there were more of them around, but more so because the lack of road salt destroying the cars down there.

I wonder if there are any Corsicas down there still running

I occasionally still see 80s dodge caravans. How is that even possible?

The Hispanic community is doing everything humanly possible to keep Chevy Astro vans in existence.

Dude WTF LOL for real

Old poor white people love them too, don’t count them out

My comment wasn't meant to be racist. Its just what I see guys. In my experience, if I see a Chebby Astro, there is a 99% probability that the person driving it is Hispanic.

LOL, I probably see between 6-8 a day when I'm in the city. Some are still in really good shape

It’s kind of like if you see a ford Aerostar. There’s a 100% chance they are middle eastern

Why do you hate Mexicans so much?

What was the GM car with the full length "storage bin" under the dash?

Saw a nice 94-96 Impala SS the other day on the way to work Cammin' like a Mofo. Love those cars. It was raining and I was all set to give him a thumbs up for driving it, but he threw a rev at me and a dirty look.

Probably thought it was a body kitted' ricer car.

Unfortunately he did not realize the RS was AWD. I felt no remorse for instructing him otherwise.

Could have been more fun if it was dry though and he had a chance to put any power down.

There is a pristine Mercury Villager that I sometimes see at my work. I'm amazed every time I see it.

There is a lady who drives a white Escort GT to work. She's had it forever and it doesn't have a spot of rust on it.
Not sure what year it is.

Those were decently fun. Like 115hp I think and only about 2100lbs. Not bad performance for the money at the time.

I will say this I probably think this every time I see a Contour rolling around. I mean I had the 4 cyl auto one and I"ve heard good stuff about the SVT ones but my god you want to talk about an example of everything wrong with domestic econoboxes in the 90s it probably would be it in my mind.

It's the one car I would absolutely be like "eeh no" about ever owning another one of. Even the Volvo with its pain in the dick breakagaes would leave me going "mayyybeeeeeee......." if I saw one for sale that was the right price.

Comcast contractors and other handyman seem to use them a ton in the city. Drives a lot more like a car and has a Nissan Vg30 motor so just keeps on running.

In 1990, I had a 1989 Escort GT w/ a manual transmission .

Spun first and chirped second gear

Fun car to toss around, DD, go on dates with

I had an '87. The Mercury Lynx XR3 variant. 1.9 liters of fury !

Actually, yeah, for the day it was a very nice little car. With the hatchback and fold down rear seat it was a versatile car with decent performance.



When is the last time anyone has seen a Celebrity Eurosport?

 

[Mr_Roboto]

A neighbor had a Celebrity Wagon that just recently disappeared I think to the crusher if I had to guess.

I've seen a few mint Lincoln Mark VIII's on the road driven by old folks around here. I want one!
