I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

[lurch70]

Never even heard of this fucker.

it was a coupe. one year me and 3 friends squeezed into it for a trip all the way to NOLA for Mardi Gras. had a quart of oil and a roll of duct tape literally as emergency items in the trunk. i didn't trust that car at all but it made the round trip in the winter without a hitch.

I always wanted an EL CAMINO just for the fuck of it.

re the Cordoba: hahaha yeah, the wikipedia entry says something about being "less than full-size"
I remember the Cordoba but not the model Aurel posted. I wonder if they changed the style at some point

edit: nah, I'm thinking of something else....a Chrysler Aspen maybe...something that began with an A

A NAPA shop's dream.

 

[dorian gray]

sweet! found it

I had it up to 100 mph once

the Cordoba's claim to fame was this commercial, which to this day is still a running joke with car enthusiasts and the "corinthian leather" bit.
of course Ricardo Montalban's accent makes it all so much better.

 

[lurch70]

oh yeah, one of my best buds is ordering a brand new Aston Martin DBS in a few weeks. this will be a fun summer*









* if I was single

 

[dorian gray]

When I finally have a job that doesnt require reliable transportation, I want to drive vehicles like that just for fun.

yeah, I miss those old 70's boats. they were awesome to drive and just fucking ruled the road.
not to mention the steering wheels that had so much play that you could turn it half way in either direction and the car would still go straight.

going to get me one of these old school cars again soon. best experienced in the shittiest condition possible

 

[lurch70]
