I know someone who drove hers at 40mph into the side of a gravel truck. She was trying to pass it and she didn't realize it was turning left. Oopsy. She then careened off the truck and head first into an irrigation lateral ditch, down the bank and was finally stopped by a hundred year old cottonwood tree. The car looked like a wadded up piece of newspaper but she walked away with scratches.

Any car good enough for Walter White is good enough for me.

Breaking Bad definitely brought the cool factor a notch up for the Aztec. A prius isn't much prettier.

The Prius is at least appropriately understated and good at what it's made for. The Aztec? Yecccch!

No doubt. It would have been a happening ride in high school, gas at 30 cents a gallon. Years later a friend of mine had a Belvedere or something with a 440. Not as sexy an engine as the Hemi it was nonetheless ungodly fast.

I bought a Travelall panel van in '71 and the room in back did come in handy a few times.

I know, I'm going to wait 'till it's available online. It's going to be tough, but I'm going to wait 'till I can watch it in one go. I'm an adult now, should be able to handle this....

Sorry to burst your bubble here but...

The "fine corinthian leather" that Ricardo Montalban used to croon about was on the Chrysler Cordoba.

Early Mustangs. Most of the cars I used to like I still do.

VW Corrado G60 - the coolest vw ever until you owned one....Half of it was Golf/Jetta parts, half were Passat parts - and everything broke.

example - the powered rear spolier was on the same fuse as the instrument cluster - so when it got stuck and popped the fuse, your speedometer went to zero...
