If you push the car off a cliff, it’ll go to 100MPHs pretty fast, won’t it?
And after exhaustive testing by Road & Track they’ve come up with a dead heat between the Lada, the Yugo, and the Murcielago. Which proves once again that modern Italians don’t do fast cars any better than 20+ year-ago Serbo-Croatians or Russians.
The Yugo and Lada Riva were license-built Fiats. So really the Italians didn’t do any better than themselves.
But does it echo?
As a total naïf, I would like to know when the Mustang stopped being a “girl’s car.” (source “Mary Tyler Moore Show”) Was it “Bullitt”?
When did they start equipping them with turn signals and license plate mounts? Spare tires? Radios? Cigarette lighters? :smack:
Shit. :o I totally forgot those were Fiats. :smack:
You got the idea though, so I think I get at least partial credit for a decent joke.
I’ll allow it.
The EPA owned a Plymouth Superbird it used to chase passenger jets down the runway to collect and monitor emissions from the jet engine exhaust.
