When I was 18 (2006), my mom and dad handed me down their 1998 Ford Explorer as a high school graduation gift, which I drove through my first 3 years of college. It had a 5.0 V8, had some good power, and it was great in the snow.

@MarbleMarvel They were tanks!! Pull anything and go anywhere and they were fast! 7,000 lbs of pure steel just rumbling down the road!

@slorollin did you have an 8track player? Fast and no weight in the ass end was good for burnouts 😂

slorollin · 41-45, M

@MarbleMarvel It did for about 2 hours. I went straight to Walmart and got a pioneer cd player and installed it in the parking lot! Oh man I could dump the clutch and roast those 32×12.50 mud kings 🤣🤣

@ProfessorPlum77 It would have had to be replaced and it cost too much for me to do that.

Where once Santa Anna
Got whupped, holy Hannah,

Poor General/Prez Santa Anna,
Waged warfare on plain and montana.
But despite all the gore
Of each bloody war,
He failed to achieve top banana.*

* except for a long time in Mexico, until he was exiled.

@Gibbon

Was that Darth Nader's "Unsafe at Any Speed" book? Wow, haven't seen one of those in ages out on the street.

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@PatKirby Yes. I still see one now and then around here. Usually heading to a weekend car show. Restored they are going for outrageous prices.

The 65 was very sporty looking.

wildbill83 · 41-45, M

@Gibbon Corvair pickups/rampside worth quite a bit these days as well; utility companies loved them back in the day because they were easy to load/unload spools of cable
