I have a 2001 Escort ZX2 (it's the street racer version) that I call the Red Beast (Hey, Grandpa! I see you use the same moniker)
Uh uh...that's what I have the chainsaw and chipper for--so much easier to get them to my patch of swamp land that way.Bodies?
@kingricefanUh uh...that's what I have the chainsaw and chipper for--so much easier to get them to my patch of swamp land that way.
My first car was a 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis. You could stack bodies three or four deep in there...............
That's what the junk yards are for- parts.I drive my parent's old 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. I can only stack bodies two or three deep lol. I will really be sad when we can no longer get replacement parts for the Merc. It's no longer made and I don't have a small fortune to buy a comparable car The photo is a stock photo.

My sister owned one of these and it caught on fire and burned up in a laundromat parking lot.Only in my dreams I still drive my favorite car ever owned. Sadly, she didn’t survive the drive off the embankment, rolling over times and coming to rest in a stream on its crushed roof.
Police officer looking down over the embankment: “Did the driver survive?”
Me (standing next to him): “Yeah I’m fine… but look at my poor car.”
Police officer: “Not a scratch on you? You’re one lucky guy.”
Me: “Yeah… but look at my poor car.”
(even the same color)

Yeah, they did have a propensity of being a tad temperamental (and burned a quart of oil every week). Sometimes I think Christine had nothing on the '60 Corvair.My sister owned one of these and it caught on fire and burned up in a laundromat parking lot.
Was it the Pinto or the Corvair that Ralph Nader was responsible for having it taken off the production line and off of the roads (due to it being a death trap)?Yeah, they did have a propensity of being a tad temperamental (and burned a quart of oil every week).

It was the Pinto.Corvair, and it was doomed even after they fixed the major problem that Nader pointed out. I believe the title of the book was Unsafe At Any Speed.
