However, as someone who had spent many white-knuckled hours in all of the cars you mentioned, I need to tell you that Marc's first car was a used, rusty, smelly and dangerous Ford Pinto and he loved that car. He inherited his Dad's Chrysler Cordoba and donated the Pinto to the high school auto body shop. <BR/><BR/>RobRob Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603119438951894580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3888051873949337882.post-36972598797358872922008-10-05T11:09:00.000-04:002008-10-05T11:09:00.000-04:00Nothing to do with McCain, but we had both a Grana...Nothing to do with McCain, but we had both a Granada and a Maverick when i was a kid. Those along with a silver and black Pontiac of unmemorable model name were wrecked by my brother.

I completely understand how shocking those "close brushes" are to your former sense of immortality.<BR/>My highschool friend Kevin drove a Maverick that his parents passed down to him. It was in pristine condition, wasn't too old, and he took meticulous care of it. Still, it was grossly underpowered. It felt like its engine was a wound-up rubberband, and it had so little pickup that it always felt like we were taking our lives into our hands whenever he made a left turn onto a busy highway where the crosstraffic had no stop. It looked sporty, but drove like Grandma's model T. My other buddies & I relentlessly ridiculed that car.<BR/>I'm not a fan of Obama's, but I dislike McCain/Palin even more. McCain's creepy, and Sarah is just plain scary. I was amazed that when she winked at the camera during last night's debate, she wasn't ridiculed as much as Kevin's Maverick was all those years ago.<BR/>I hope You, Sooz & Martin are all doing well, despite the liver thing. Say "hi" to Sooz from Lynne, Billy, Danny & I.<BR/>--Timtiminhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160105414595645875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3888051873949337882.post-83757483390584260012008-10-03T09:27:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:27:00.000-04:00I hope the fact that you posted this at 5:47 in th...I hope the fact that you posted this at 5:47 in the morning means you hadn't yet gone to bed because you were doing something fun: like looking up reruns on YouTube of James Garner's The Maverick which you would later claim was "research" for this piece. I hope you weren't plagued like the rest of us by Palin induced insomnia. Global Warming is looking pretty good right about now, I'd say.<BR/><BR/>So since I have appointed myself your official blog pimp, you need to change your template so that there is no word verification and also go to a pop up screen for comments--I will show you how tonight, grasshopper.Lorrie Veaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05284186458837015052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3888051873949337882.post-35936873063676911052008-10-03T09:16:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:16:00.000-04:00I do as mud tells me, and I'm glad that I have.My ...I do as mud tells me, and I'm glad that I have.<BR/><BR/>My father drove a Maverick. He told us kids that those rust spots were bullet holes. Funny how, years later, my mother would own a sticker that said "I still miss my ex, but my aim is improving."<BR/><BR/>"The Maverick" definitely does remind me of the Maverick. I just didn't know it until you told me.<BR/><BR/>And I love your blog name.PearlsOfSomethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556762942820471504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3888051873949337882.post-73925530091223059232008-10-03T09:05:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:05:00.000-04:00Ok, I jumped in the pool!!!

But it will be one we paid for I'm sure, and maybe Sarah Palin will hold our hair. I would actually like it to be located in her yard in Alaska, because as we puke, we will at least be able to see Russia.<BR/>Bj in Dallas<BR/>oh shit a word verification, glad I'm soberBj in Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515059469690597390noreply@blogger.com
