I was never a car snob but I remember, whenever I saw a Vega in the early seventies, thinking, “Why in the hell would anyone buy that shitbox?” Even when most cars on the road were garbage, the Vega was at the bottom of the heap.
The bottom was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Chevette
in the late 70’s I drove from GA to NJ in a 4 door Chevette with two other guys, all of us were 6′ 2″ of taller. Needless to say it was a rough drive, the two cases of beer we drank made it bearable!
2 cases of beer for 3 6 footers? Freaking amateurs.
You are forgetting the Corvair
you are all forgetting the amc pacer
Pacer X came with the 304 and the CGE Pacer came with the 401. Little car would freakin roll!
The AMC Eagle had the first planetary 4 wheel drive transmission
other than the military. Shitty gas mileage, but you couldn’t get that
hideously ugly car stuck.
Me and my wifes first car was a 76 4dr AMC Hornet , straight six , one belt , am radio and a heater . Could fix anything on it with few tools . Shipped it to Hawaii when transferred on orders . Ran great , sold it to a local guy , bet someone is still driving it on Oahu . Ugly as hell , but it served us well , miss that car .
I race an ’81 Eagle sedan and an ’81 SX/4 (Off-road TSD).
Basically, a car body on a Jeep platform.
Many platform parts interchangeable with era Jeeps.
Low compression in-line 6 (4.2L).
Loose the head and throw a 4.0L HO head on (after porting), and gain 50 HP.
So they say.
Feels like it.
I never found them to be hideously ugly.
But then again, outward beauty is less important if you have a rockin’ bod.
And these cars deliver.
Don’t believe Ralph Nader. The Corvair was as good as anything made in its day. And could be VERY fast. Until you throw a rod through the block….
I called them Shitvettes.
My mom & grandma each had one. I don’t remember if they had air conditioning or not, but one time our family of 6 wedged into mom’s and made a trip from the Chicago burbs to Springfield for the state fair – boy did that drive back home SUCK!
Michael Douglas drove a Chevette in “Falling Down”.
Classic.
No, Vega’s aluminum/silicon alloy engine, guaranteed to die by 60,000 miles beat the Chevette all to hell in the race to the bottom.
what about the Gremlin?
the Pinto?
the Mustang II??
it had lots of competition and so sad after a decade of muscle cars that the government ruined with new emission regulations
My neighbour had a Chevette with a (Mitsubishi ?) diesel engine in it fantastic mileage(back in 80’s?). Did great until somebody in the family poked a hole in the radiator, and kept driving, until “it won’t start”.
I’d kill for one of those right now
I prescribe whisky to help you cope.
Dr. Bob
preferences;
6oz. vodka
2oz. Kamora
16oz. milk
3 ice cubes
stir
enjoy f.f.
I know you’re Mix and all, but my enjoyment begins at the vodka and kamora.
And FF can’t wait.
No reason to waste ice cubes.
And milk is for babies.
Say, your Lebowski…aintcha?
Yes….yes they are….
Monday…..
Tuesday…..
Wednesday…..
Thursday
Friday
Let the weekend begin!
^two for Tuesday^
God, I wish it was 50 years ago….
Whenever I’m attacked by a mob of clowns I just step on their big feet and honk their noses.
Usually you can double tap the first clown in the forehead, and the rest of the crew tends to simmer down.
We are being attacked by clowns every day.
I remember the night it premiered!!
“Jane you ignorant slut…”
I remember when we used to say things as they were
And MTV didn’t suck…
MTV actually played MUSIC videos….
Video killed the radio star!
And MTV exploited the video star.
Oh, I wouldn’t be surprised if a founding father of Canada said that.
That would be (mostly) “The Crown” and they did say that
The party of death deserves its namesake.
Is it just me or is the democrat party at war with children in general and babies in particular?
California has a bill that would legalize killing babies up to a week old, I think. Just proposing that is insane. These people need to be dealt with.
No they need to be encouraged.
Until the cutoff age is 32.
Can we abort the radical left pro abortionists? No age limit. I’ll help.
“I have no problem with people killing their own progeny.
I just disagree with Planned Parenthood having a monopoly on the sale of dead baby parts.”
Bring that comment up in any discussion on abortion and it’s a show stopper EVERY time.
And never forget that, in both cases, the bastards who did it got away with it. Will there never be justice? Bring back the guillotine!
Yes Bob, there will be. I promise.
Bob,
The justice you seek it at your fingertips.
It always has been.
Anyone can be the change they want to see.
Right, republican-orchestrated domestic terrorism on the left and democrat-orchestrated domestic terrorism on the right.
Both were orchestrated by the uniparty. The only difference was the majority stakeholder in each one changed. All of them made a lot of money and more importantly power.
They did; by leaving. Fewer deadbeats south of the border now.
Plus they raised the average IQ of their countries – probably up to 85 by now.
Optomist.
Hahahahaha that’s sad.
They are by sending hundreds of million$ back home each month.
If I had my way, there would be an illegal alien eliminator stationed at every Home Depot parking lot.
May 22-28-2022, International Health Regulations of 2005 (IHR).
Golf is the ineffectual endeavor to place an insignificant pellet into an obscure hole with entirely inadequate weapons.
Pallets of baby formula at the border for the illegals:
The ultimate weekly fail:
I’m curious about the mindset of the people who wrote that sign. I guess they think a thief would reason: “Hey Wilbur, we have to steal a bunch of these baby formula boxes; they’re going for a premium now . . . wait! It says, ‘Do not take.’ Damn! Better look for something else to lift.”
Were I a thief and I saw a sign that read, ‘Do not take,’ I’d be more likely to steal it.
Like Abby Hoffman’s “Steal this Book.”
Yet ANOTHER canyon yodler AA hire that is completely unqualified.
No administration is this stupid. It’s all intentional to tank America.
Never that I can recall but if they keep pushing us with their outrageous policies that destroy our liberty, drive up our cost of living, undermine our culture and our families, and even risk WW III, watch out!
Not even then. But when things get spicy I expect targets to be more………… significant.
Pass, but how much for the honey on the winebag?
More than anyone “middle class” can afford these days.
The honey IS the winebag.
Is that Amy Winebag? I have a few of her CD’s.
How else will she get any attention with a face like that?
Yeah, not much to work with, agreed.
But, how fkn worse could she make it?
Not much more so IMO.
Fell from the top of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Well, if she let the mustache grow out…
Mama used to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dogs to play with her.
Talk that shit to the 400 lbers rolling around W/M with carts full of chips & soda
No thanks. It doesn’t even have any windows.
I’m calling BS on this. Ever tried to get the roll to cut properly, and STILL be usable?
As a life-long outdoorsman, this is something that MUST be investigated.
I pack artwork with this wrap all the time, and it is dirt cheap and wildly durable.
I’m going to try this on my next annual fall archery elk hunt as a dwelling
and will report back then. As an experiment, I am going to do try a clear wrap
Blackfoot Tipi in my back yard with it and not only make my dogs insane,
my wife want to kill me in my sleep, and confirm for my neighbors that I am actually “That kook”
but become the greatest hero my grandkids could ever want.
A “space tipi.”
You go boy…
I shall endeavor to persevere.
I like it.
Judge: He also licks his balls. Do you do that?
Defendant: I tried but I can’t reach.
Defendant: Judge, If I could do that I’d never leave the house! (apologies to George Carlin)
Defendant: He bit me when I tried to lick his balls.
Defendant: I tried but I can’t reach.
Judge: Go ahead. Give it another shot. He’s not vicious.
Why do dogs lick their balls?
Because they can.
Jeeves, it’s getting late…Prepare my bed..I’m going to lick my balls…see you next Friday..
Can’t wait!
I don’t know why, but those old dog memes make me LOL every time.
How fucking fast was he going to be airborne that distance and hit that high on the barn?
Friend, you’ve let out your inner geek it seems.
Let’s just say it was more than enough, ok?
Actually it’s my EMS life that makes me look at things differently, like WTF! this would have been an interesting run I have to say.
I grew kale this last winter. It tastes fine with chicken bouillion, onion and bacon. Season to taste.
I’m still advocating for “Recipe Of The Week” from admin.
Man…I can relate…
Duplicated an image by accident…
. . . sorry y’all.
It’s Friday Fail. No apologies needed for screwing up. That’s why I feel so at home here.
Me trying to convince the mrs that her idea won’t work.
I’ve been remiss lately about my contributions to FF so here is my tribute to Dani Torres. So smokin’ hot I burned my finger on my keyboard.
Thanks, Md. My loins needed a little stirring.
Love it…
. . . but those images can hardly in any way be considered a fail of any kind.
Oh? They fail to show nips.
Touché.
I stand completely corrected…
. . . notwithstanding TBPs policy on freeing the nipp.
shape up…
She has a better body than the one above.
What a complete waist.
Ay Carumba! La chica es muy caliente.
“esta”, Greg.
It won’t last forever.
Nothing ever does.
Leave that jibberish on the south side of the river please.
half-pipe FACED!
Excellent one fujigm!! LMAO
(As I quietly distribute thumbs up to everyone who jumped on the FACED bandwagon…)
GOOD BOY!!
Mulch-faced
Next scheduled laugh at 1:40 PM.
It’s planting season…
Sand faced
Quite plowed it, too.
Full scorp.
When she woke up that morning I’ll be she didn’t know sand was on the menu for the day.
The good news is my balls are fine; the bad news is I now have 2 assholes.
Bad news?
You’ve clearly never had a truly satisfying dump.
Now, double the satisfaction.
This is what Dad did driving home from the drug store after getting the Pfizer shot.
FF of the sand faced
Rotationally so…
Oh that’s why the sign said, ‘High tide only.’
Little known fact, Thing was played by Lurch actor Ted Cassidy.
Nah, I knew that.
I love that show
I love the Addams Family.
They were the most loving family on teevee at the time.
Look it up.
mail-faced.
Mail faced?
HAHAHAHAHA!
My all time fave.
Snailmail-faced!
Could one be e-mail faced?
When young Jason first realized what an idiot his father was.
Dumbfuck-faced
Make that 7000 lbs.
That was when Ted knew he was color blind.
Done that on a rally.
Ended head down, wheels up.
You’re obviously prone to bad decisions, so just pick it up and eat it.
So stupid she’s not even aware of the 5 second rule.
Whore.
Even if you aint.
Huh. Next time I need kindling I’ll open a box of spaghetti.
Learned that trick a long time ago. It is a great way to light a fireplace or candles when you run out of long matches (or lighter)
Thanks for the tip!
Sawdust and paraffin is the best kindling I know of.
I will try pasta.
It is a great way to light a fireplace or candles when you run out of long matches (or lighter)
Gotta try that at the next Christmas Midnight Mass.
If they rescind my church ban.
For spaghetti with that ‘smokiness’ flavor.
Leonard’s grand entrance is still celebrated by the family 50 years later.
Failboat full of stupid.
Love me some traffic circles.
Awesome Fail right there….
ONLY $29.99 if you act now!
It’s the bun on top that gives me all the info I need to explain why this happened.
