Sea Ray 66 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Detroit was making some real crap in that era. The Japanese cars were far better quality in the late 70s/early 80s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did own a 73 2 door impala for a bit, simply nicknamed 'the boat', i think each door weighed 500 pounds lol. Also had a nice 1976 Malibu, that was a respectable car but I wrecked it. Speaking of shite cars, my brother had a Ford Capri, cant recall the year but my dad would not let him park it on the driveway as it was always dropping fluids lol My mom loved muscle cars. She had a 1969 GTO with the Hurst Dual gate shifting option. Dad blew the engine going to Muncie one day. Junked it (Ooofff) She then got a 1973 Pontiac Grand Am. After 7 years in Ohio it was rusty as hell but had a 400 4bbl TH-350 in it and it could fly. I wrecked it a little and the insurance company goes,”We ain’t fixing that rusty piece of crap”. After the Newport piece of shit she got a 300ZX with the manual tranny. Then an Infinity Q45 and now at 82 drives an Infinity G35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Datsun 280Z turbo was an awesome little car. 300ZX was a really comfortable, easy, and fun car to drive. Drove it all the way to Dez Moans Iowa and back for a wedding once. There is about a 300 mile stretch between Indy and Iowa where no humans live. You can drive fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He spoke to Mike Brown and asked for changes to the team and Mikey told him that was not going to happen. The plan is solid as is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, the surgery was a success. I mean we didn’t know Alex Smith almost died for a year. Expect almost no factual updates. Besides, it’s the offseason so us mods are not paying attention.

TigerJ@w 58 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 This thread went from injury to dead beat cars, how ironic is that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah how long before the two topics start to become conflated in people's minds (or at least subconscious) and we can't separate the two in the future? "So yeah I seem to recall a few months back we were talkin' about Joe and something about he was a bit rusty and after surgery he was a bit jacked up in the back and they had to flush his system to get out all the particulates left behind by the mechan... er.. I mean doctor... ? Or something?" Or something more extreme from someone like Catfish or someone else who pops in with an extreme viewpoint every once in a while: "You hear about this thing though? Joe Burrow is a TRANNY! Yeah yeah someone on this Bengal board I read said Joe Burrow got injured, and then he broke his rod and they had to replace parts with a tranny! Yeah man it's real crazy in Ohio right now..." 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
