Holy Macaroni, 20 grand for that brown pimpmobile? Is it really worth that kind of money?

But I do agree with Johhny LA. Anything’s better than Caddy’s current model line-up. Peee-yuke.

That’s bad, but not nearly as bad as the \*Boeing[//i] prototype car! Sadly, I"m unable to find a picture of the thing, but it looked like a minature plane with the wings sawn off.

I hate the 1970’s.

I hate it with a passion.

A zeal and burning intensity that I did not once believe was possible for me. It is things like that first car, things so God-damned ugly that a blind man at a hundred paces would say “Damn, somthing smells ugly”. Did the tackieness of that era know no bounds?
