You misinterpret what is meant to show a car’s durability…
It is not about bragging as you say…
You are entitled to your opines…
The intent…you are out of line…
The term “deliberately” smacks of accusation…
Was never intended to rub anyone’s feathers …
Peace
Happy trails
BTW Chops this is a free forum to share anecdotes…
Forgot to say is have fun…
There’s one quick & easy way to settle this…
CAR DARTS!!!
That was a hilarious video…
Yep, the Dart would also suffer the same fate sadly.
Light humor is a good thing…
Thanks for sharing…
Happy trails
I think their Caravan Race is their best… it’ll make ya snorkle out loud
Ok… back to work… them police cars aren’t gonna build themselves…
Well here you are another smash 'em up derby car video…
Cerainly not pc material…
Have fun everyone
Never heard of motorhome racing…
While all this may not be loving our cars exactly…
It’s called having fun wrecking the junk yard junk
cars…
No… No I’m not.
Umm… You stated it in several posts. That’s not an accusation on my part.
But whatever.
You are the only one taking issue…
Were you a saint growing up?
For all practical purposes… Yes. And I never drove my parents vehicles. I worked, saved up, and purchased my own, on my own. Also paid for my own insurance, maintenance, etc, etc. I valued and took care of my vehicle, and still do to this day.
Probably why I “take issue”.
Well guess what …you aren’t the only one to hold a job and buy their very own 1st car
on their very own …or insurance or repairs…
Did my own oil changes, spark plugs points and dwell on my car…
And guess what else…I washed waxed detailed the family cars weekly.
You assume so much…
That’s it I’m done…
Peace Chops…
I don’t assume anything. Never even suggested otherwise.
Bye
Is this still the car thread?
Because I thought it was the car thread.
Not sure if this has been covered before but what was your first road legal car? Growing up in farm country we had field cars and dune buggies but my first car with license plates was a 1957 Chevy 4 door that I paid $75.00 for. The cast iron powerglide trans was bad so I converted it to a manual trans. It used a quart of oil for every tank of gas but was an indestructible car and survived much abuse from me.
My first legal car was a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 magnum. I’m lucky to be alive!! 
You got that right. They were blazing fast but didn’t corner or stop worth a damn. A good friend had a Road Runner with a 383 in it and it wasnt nearly as fast as the 440 but still big fun for a teenager to get to ride in. Another friend had a '69 Z28 Camaro with a 302 and a 4 speed. That was a lighter car and was fast but still nothing like the torque monster 440’s were. The Michigan State Police had 440 interceptors with 2 four barrel carbs.
My grandfather passed away in 1981 when I was 16, and I got his 1975 Dodge Dart. Slant six. Rust colored with a beige hardtop. Anemic at best. Replaced the air filter and it ran a bit better, I recall.
Sold it to get a crappy 1977 VW Rabbit, and that started a streak of consistently owning at least one VW, a streak that continues to this day. (But which might end tomorrow if my R32 sells!)
1961 Ford Fairlane with the 292 v8. That was a bullet proof motor.
Ahh. The bent 6. Probably had a 1 barrel carb. and about 90 whopping horsepower!
