Watch VIVA LAS VEGAS again some time. Along with Ann Margaret, there are some beautiful cars in that flick.
And you didn’t fix the brakes because...?
And you didn’t fix the brakes because...?
If Ann Margret is in it, I don't think I'd be paying too much attention to the cars.
Bueller!, Bueller!, Ferris Bueller!
ROFLLLL!!!
You’re a good storyteller.
He is a victim! Young folks nowadays have a RIGHT to a Ferrari.
Cause I was broke and I had to get to work, I was nuts back then - still am but less - I was around 21 years old and this guy sold me that car real cheap, no wonder. I almost got killed by that car going down a highway one morning, I hit a bump and by reflex hit the brakes and of course the wheels locked and i lost control and went off the road 60 mph and headed right for a tree and thought that was it for me and at the last second the car moved and just missed the tree except for the back bumper which hit it and was bent half off. I then went to work and backed into a stone wall to straighten out the bumper and it worked! That car was like a tank.

That little story gave me a huge chuckle.
21 year old guys give parents the same headaches as 15 year old girls do. :-)

Okay...
Let me guess Who the Mechanic was!?
Those old lincolns were like tanks. I knew someone who had one and he said it saved his life.
Two of my rather wealthy uncles came out of WWII (one from submarine service) and before going back to college roamed New England buying up old Cadillac Sixteens and Packard Twelves that were too precious to turn into scrap for next to nothing, then trashing them for a hoot. One of them told me these stories in his 80s, laughing the entire time.
Told this to a car museum curator once, and he near dropped on the floor in tears.
” back end would come around and send car into spin”
That was actually a positive, if you knew how to drive it.
I tend to think that European roads and traffic laws are much more lenient than what we have here in the U.S........
Of course he crashed it, the Steering Wheel was on the wrong side.
Funniest line in “Risky Business” ? Well, maybe 2nd after the “being chased by Guido, the killer pimp.”
I had forgotten that one. Music, Cars, girls, Elvis, and Vegas, it’s a cinco magnifico. What’s not to like?
Does he “still” work for the import dealer?
It was years ago. He didn’t get fired and went on to work at another import dealer about a year later.
