Have you ever driven a Barracuda or Challenger?
Very uncomfortable and hard to see over the steering wheel.
the first car i ever drove :
View attachment 67115834
1978 Lincoln town car.
i was 10 years old when i drove this car on a country lane in 1984.
my dad was, of course, in position to take control of the vehicle should my maiden voyage prove unsuccessful. lol
The first car I ever drove was a 1969 Fury 3
Known as the Ginnie gun boat.
I would imagine that within a decade or two, the police will be driving Mini Coopers.
Probably so and go back to the paddy wagons....where the beat cop would cuff and hold a guy till the van came and pick them up...
Can you put your arm on the window sill and put it straight up?
The windows look really small onthe HHR, which is what stopped me from buying it.
Paddy wagon? Oh my! That reminds me of the movie, A Shot in the Dark, and Elke in the back of a paddy wagon. Bring them back! :shock:
Did you see the price of the new Golf GTI? I think it is around 40K.
40K for a Golf. Our local dealer has had one since March in red. Nobody will touch it and it is usually the first car sold off the lot.
They just priced themselves out of the market.
LOL, in downtown Calgary we cruised the circuit back when we could drive in downtown, those were some very fun and simpler days.In Calgary a loaded one, red with the DSG and leather cost $36 000. More basic versions with the manual transmission and no leather were around the $30000-33000. The Mini Coopers are priced fairly similar if I am not mistaken especially the JCS versions
I didnt buy the GTI and instead went with a Nissan 370Z

Yep about 1976-1978 I did a lot of drag racing on 3rd and 4th ave. I remember a day when they parked a totaled and completely mangled car on the corner I can remember exactly where but the cops put a on sign on it, "who's next?".You mean 3 rd Ave.
When my aunt and uncle came from out of town, my mother, sister, my self and them would take a tour, that was about 30 years ago
