there's also a P.O.S. rusty Ford escort parked a few spots down with only about a quarter of the quarter panel.
Now, ya'll go and defend that one. Let's hear it. Are all Ford Escorts P.O.S's????? you decide.

ford escort are great cars.
They are cheap, good on gas, easy to fix, and go forever.
Not all cars have to be masterpieces w/ racin ghistory to be great.
I'm not saying that don't rust to pieces and cause headaches, but my dad had once growing up and logged 175k miles on it before selling it.

Maybe I say that because we had over 500k combined miles on the 3 vehicles in our driveway at one point. I come from the "drive it till it dies" school- depreciation isn't in my vocabulary.

When you sold or junked one of your drive it till it dies cars, if you took the cost of what you paid minus what you got, what do you call that?
I come from the "why buy the cow if the milk is free". "Variety is the spice of life". school

The Wankel rotary engine is a type of internal combustion engine, invented by German engineer Felix Wankel, which uses a rotor instead of reciprocating pistons. This design delivers smooth high-rpm power from a compact, lightweight engine.
Wouldn't that make an RX-7 a KRAUT burner?
I love my rotary powered sand rail...best part is actually using that rarely seen end of a monster tach labeled 10,000...

I try not to park next to any 2 door, them long doors is scary! And never, ever park next to a '70s Camaro/Firebird: long, heavy doors and, uh, frequently piloted by those unconcerned with the well being of their neighbor's sheetmetal...
