So I went to www.bing.com (http://www.bing.com) and looked thru the images. I was 'dee-lighted' about finding my car there, I clicked on the pic, and it was linked to an article.
That's where my new profile signature is from.
I don't exercize copyright on my photos. I consider them what used to be called 'public domain' (or shareware, or iminent domain-someone will take it and it's just not worth fighting over). I'm flattered about it being used, but the caption is a little disturbing. Thirty years later, and that's how most Americans still remember the Pinto. The article does have social relevence however. An import convert still waiting for Ford to 'bring it on' :)
I like the part about the tar oozing from under the doorpanels (my car does that on hot days) :lol:

Anybody else's car end up in a strange place?
Cheers :drunk: :afro:
Disco, thanks for the info. I just read it and had to respond.
Disturbing article is an understatement, Chuck. Seems this guy expects to buy a car and never have anything to ever go wrong with it. Heaven forbid he should pull the door panel on the Mustang and lube the damn regulator, hell no, just ride around all winter with the window half down! Duh! And the Fiesta and Pinto being "wretched" little cars? The Fiesta did exactly what it was supposed to do, get great gas mileage! Yes, it was a bare bones tin can car, but it got 40-50 MPG and ran forever. As far as the Pinto, if they were so bad, how did Ford manage to sell so many? Believe me, if a car doesn't have good sale figures or it's just junk, they go away very quickly. (i.e., retro T-Bird/Lincoln LS, flop, Contour/Mystique/Cougar,junk-flop). In fact, if it were not for the tainted name, the Focus would be the new Pinto! :D
Sorry about the rant, I just get PO'ed when I read crap like that! >:(
My pinto dont got no tar oozeing out of the doors in the heat
