"The whole place looks like the US with Tehran looking like one giant Islamic L.A."

All you'd have to do is change the head-gear on the men and the girth and facial decoration of the senoritas.

Sorry about the posting burst - I sort of limit participation during work hours.

Presently I have a 56 F-100. I'm the second owner. It has 131,000 MI with 31,000 on the original rebuilt six with a three speed. It had been sitting in a garage for the last 15 yrs. so all the rubber is dried out but I'm in the process of replacing the weather stripping and the windshield/back window rubber. I had to replace the carb and fuel pump...gas spewed out all over from dried out seals.

I'm 58. My son in law has a 69 GTX with a 440 and (originally) automatic (he put in a 4 spd)...it's driveable but needs work. He also has a 63 Polara not running, needs body parts (fenders and hood) ...

I encourage him to never sell them. I've offered to help him do the work on them. He has all the original parts.

Have you ever seen what just a decent GTX goes for at a Barret Jackson auction?

"HeHe... We Iranians love American cars though!"

They certainly do. And if you want to know why, check this out!


This is there "hot" one. Sells for about $8,00 (US)

Gets about 12 mpg.

Such a piece of crap that Iran (after almost 40 years of mfg this "beaut" is closing plants and ceasing production.


Air Pollution The biggest environmental problem Iran currently faces is air pollution, especially in the capital city of Tehran, but also in regional cities like Tabriz. About 1.5 million tons of pollutants are produced in Tehran annually, with carbon monoxide from car exhaust making up a large percentage of these pollutants. Most of Tehran's nearly 2 million cars are over 20 years old, with poor fuel efficiency and lacking catalytic converters and the ability to use lead-free gasoline. Many of these cars are domestically produced Paykans, manufactured by the Iran Khodro company. Leaky engines and cars spewing black smoke are a familiar sight contributing to the city's hazardous air pollution, as well as its infamous traffic snarls.

They can make Nuclear Bombs, but can they "produce" a decent "Ride?"


YES THEY CAN! LOL

I owned a 68 Buick GS400 convertible for a short while in college. What a smooth ride that was.

Hello, Kashi! I've been thinking about you. I haven't seen you around and was getting worried.

Hope you are ok.

I reeeeely couldn't give a tinker's damn whether the questions were "not appreciated"
they were legitimate questions.
and since it appears that FReepers are apparently ignorant of Iranian history, I won't bother to dignify every little comment of faux outrage by the Iranian fan club.
Bottom line:
Iran has been a breeding ground for terrorists for decades and it goes back to November,1979.

President Bush included Iran in the "Axis of Evil" because the Iranian regime has been responsible for more than 80% of the terrorists attacks around the world and has been condemned by the UN for human rights abuses, without ever being held accountable.

The question about the nuclear plants was a legitimate one also and without a response.

The last question of course about the religious hypocrisy in the Middleast was directly addressed by Ali Al-Ahmed, the director of the Saudi Institute in D.C. in an editorial in the Wall St. Journal today.

So all this criticism of me is laughable.

Kelly

BTW, Welcome Home "norton" !

Actually, I will ask my Roman Catholic priest to pray for you, since you are obviously unwell.

I know, Khashayar. I also know that many people, including a dear friend of mine from my youth and her family, were lucky to escape Iran before things got really ugly.

Unlike others who have not been paying close attention, many of us at FR have been heartened by the demonstrations demanding change; particularly by the young, who were raised by parents that remembered freedom and never let their children forget what was being denied to them.

You are in my prayers.

Bottom line:

The bottom line is: there are good and bad people in all countries. In Iran, there currently is an evil government that encourages terrorists and terrorism. So in Iran, you have terrorists.

Also in Iran, there are people who don't like their current government, who don't believe in terrorism, who want to change their government and who want freedom.

It is a necessity for us, and our president to determine which ones are the freedom lovers and which ones are the sc*mbags. The sc*mbags will potentially kill us and the freedom lovers will potentially help us.

It appears to most here that Khashayar is one of the freedom lovers. He is one of the people who will potentially make fighting the WOT easier. You kellynla, apparently don't see it that way.

Go figure.
