Posted by Samurai those were sold over here during the mid-70's as a Mercury Capri, almost as a Mercury companion to the Ford Mustang II. |

Posted by Honshu Actually it was dubbed the Poor Mans Mustang. Or those kids that wanted to get a mustang but was given this by their parents. LoL! |
Posted by Blue Taco I think this is the same car that Soldat222 started this thread with, but now with the passenger window taped shut and right front tire flat. |
Posted by NickSan The Mustang II was a pile of crap. |
Posted by Samurai So where is the hate come from for the little pony? |
Posted by NickSan That car was another in a long line of poorly made US cars that embarrassed us in the face of Jap and Euro quality. And for an American muscle car name it was an embarrassment. Yeah it got a bunch of small US cars on the road but that was due to being an American built car, not a quality built car. They always reminded me of the $.25 car ride at the store. Having driven Mustang II and having owned a Capri and a 280Z in the 70’s I can say the Mustang II was not a well built car, it was not a drivers car nor was it sexy. They should have retired the Mustang name until they could build something worthy of the name. |
Posted by cr400 Very nice, very eloquent angry rant. I'm all fired up now!! I almost lit my little Nissan truck on fire, but it was sitting right between my Chevy and my Ford trucks. |
Posted by TheVicariousVadder That's still 5 grand for the Civic and only 2 grand for the Cavalier. |
Posted by Samurai and the Cavalier will last just as long as the Civic and be cheaper to repair than the Civic. I know, I've had 8 Cavaliers of varying vintages. |
Posted by TheVicariousVadder Well, a car is an investment. |
in⋅vest⋅ment[in-vest-muhnt] –noun 1. the investing of money or capital in order to gain profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value. |
Posted by Speed hardly an investment. I'm not trying to be and ass or give you a hard time so dont take it that way. its much like Samurai's earlier rant, I cant keep my mouth shut when someone refers to a car as an investment. kinda like saying a boat is an investment. |
Posted by TheVicariousVadder No worries here. (One of my more recent triggers is I get pissed when people blame the economy for EVERYTHING that goes wrong in their lives. Instead of figuring out the real reason, things aren't going correctly and fixing it at the source. That and people who can't take responsibility for their actions. I'd rather hear them admit their mistake and then have them tell me to go fuck myself; than listen to them try and pass the buck.) |
Posted by TheVicariousVadderYou have to spend money to make money. You need a vehicle to get to your job (At least I do). Having a reliable vehicle and one that is good in the snow; allows me to get to work, even when most other people call out. A car could be considered an investment in that regard. |
Posted by Speed hardly an investment. automobiles are guaranteed losers cars NEVER appreciate in fact the moment its titled it loses value. I'm not trying to be and ass or give you a hard time so dont take it that way. its much like Samurai's earlier rant, I cant keep my mouth shut when someone refers to a car as an investment. kinda like saying a boat is an investment. now if we we're talkin about a Bugatti Royale, well then that may be a different story. and the foreign vs domestic thing, rigamortis has long set in on that horse! |
