    Laugh at will - Ford Lightning(Gen I) v. Ford Thunderbird SC

    So, I've not owned a car in over 6 months. It's taking it's toll on my sanity, or whatever semblence of sanity I once had. I really need to buy a vehicle. I've not been able to make a decision. But I've been working on narrowing it down.

    Basically, it's come to two vehicles that my girl thinks are "trashy." That's actually a good thing as far as I'm concerned because she won't bitch at me to clean either of them; she probably won't get in either of them.

    Either of these will lead to tire smoking hooliganism, a fist full of tickets, a revoked drivers licence and an empty bank account.

    So which would you rather be called a redneck by the woman you love for driving?

    5.8L (351 Windsor) OHV V8

    1/4-mile - 15.6 seconds @ 87.4 mph

    the supercoupe! it's lighter, looks better, and seems just as fast/faster as the lightning but with a smaller (more insurance friendly and fuel efficient?) egnine. plus, it's manual.
    Surely it has some aftermarket goodies available to
    i don't think it looks too bad either...

    Well... buy a Bonneville. Then you can look like some real 'Jersey trash.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I can't say much except perhaps FAIL but that wouldn't help you I guess. Oh yeah, I'm drinking No. 3 right now, and she's going down rather quick. I expect my typing to go significantly downhill. FTMFW.

    Oh yeah, you're dilemma. Hell, buy the truck if you're a real man.

    though that 1/4 mile time might leave flaming trails behind you and blast you into the future.
