:embarassed: OK, I tried to come up with a clever caption, but I just can't. This picture is currently on an EBAY listing for a Squire wagon. Maybe someone else can come up with something clever. I'm at a loss for words. :o :embarassed: :evil: :-\ :hypno: :rolleye:
How 'bout white trash on a white car? :P And no that's not an appealing ad to me.
did you mean appealing or apauling?
I like what Blupinto said...lol
how about...White Squire Ho Hauler?...lol
LOL!!! RSM!!! Good one! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Time for a ho down! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yeah Phil... appalling would be the more appropriate term... ::)
Well, there's the orange runabout with the hooters girls around it, then there's someone's wagon with a chick in the back...
Ummm....Dave... I don't thnk those were Hooters girls... try Playboy bunnies... :reek: And yeah they fall into the same category in my book. If scantily-clad women are all it takes to sell cars to guys then the males of this species are using the wrong body part(s) to do their thinking. :hypno: :devil: :cheesy_p:

You're probably right, Becky. On the other hand, from the male perspective, I have no problem with posing an attractive female with any car I want to sell if it will increase the odds of closing a deal. The problem with this photo is there's nothing attractive about it! She looks like she's been ridden harder than that poor well-used Pinto! Skanky!!! :P
Dwayne :smile:
Alex:
I'll take "skank for $100", please.....
The answer: "What is...... :reek:"....

I was gonna make a comment about rode hard...but I better not...LOL

After surfing on over to eBay for my routine look at things and seeing larger, clearer photos from this ad, I've decided I was a bit too hard on her and have decided to issue a formal apology for my comments in this forum. She's not really a bad-looking Pinto after all! :lol:
Dwaye :smile:
The poor Pinto.... Such a shame to see a car with so much potential covered with such trash.
I like Blonds............. ;)
both those pintos lok a little rusty and worn in a few places. but i do like blondes :drunk: chris
The blond looks a little rusty and worn in places too.....
I remember a line from the TV show " Northern Expsure " Remember that show where they are in Alaska etc. Anyway, one guy says to another, about a woman he wants to date " a worn sled slides better" Maby this applies to Pinto"s ???
Hey ,
I'm with Chris & Brad on this one. Without having met this chickie, it would be prejudicial to assess her attributes on just her Looks alone. Becky, would you be so critical if it was Male Beefcake leaning on the fender?
Our culture is what it is, for better or for worse. :cheesy_n:
We should all just "roll with it Baby" and enjoy the car!

Yes, Joe, I would be just as critical. Sell the car for the car alone... not because some scantily-clad person is draped on it. Sex sells- WAY more to males than to females, hence the popularity of girlie mags like Playboy, Penthouse, etc. as opposed to Playgirl. The sad fact is (and it is proven) that males are influenced by barely-dressed or undressed females in terms of goods and services (see Hooters). And yes I will be judgemental when someone dresses like that damn near pulling her daisydukes off to appeal to male prospective buyers. I like the car- not the garbage leaning on it.
I didnt see any garbage leaning on it.... :o.
Of course you didn't. :rolleye:
Quote from: blupinto on September 07, 2010, 03:19:02 PM
Of course you didn't. :rolleye:
I didn't either Becky, cuz garbage would be more appealing than that gutter trash on the car ;D
LOL Matty! :lol:
I hope She is not the owner of that car, Imagine how you would feel if someone you didn't even know talked about you that way..........
If I dressed like that and was pulling my daisydukes "off" like that I would deserve it too. Why are you defending that?! And anyway, I'm free to express my opinion, same as you and everybody else does. You don't like my opinion... I don't like the photo... or the defense thereof. Vive la diferance.
I think YOU are the one that gets defensive about a lot of things here Becky. Just read your last post. It was directed to ME. My post was not directed to you. I never said I did not like your opinion, I never said I was defending anything. I was stating a thought. Anyone could have said that. It would seem that you are the only one who is free to state your opinion. You can certainly state that you do not " like the photo" I was trying to make a point that this could be a Pinto owner and you have formed an opinion about Her with out even knowing who it is ( maybe she is on this site) ? who knows.
Yes, Vive La Difference but don't get your Dasie Dukes in a wad please...... ;D :P
No as you can see YOU did direct your reply to me... you said so yourself. This is a forum, and yeah, I'm offended by the picture in the post. Funny how YOU take me to task, saying we ALL have an opinion but because mine doesn't mesh with yours I'M the bad guy (girl). You have censored my opinions in the past (re: the 1,000 MPH thing) so please get off your high horse. We are all free to express our opinions here- not just the pro-ho crowd. I pay my charter membership dues so I WILL speak my mind when I feel the need to. No one has to agree with me, and I don't have to agree with everyone else.
Brad,
I can certainly see what you are stating & you definitely have a point. With that said I am as guilty as the next guy & should not have made those comments aimed at an individual. They weren't nevessary & why cast a bad look on the site, since there are those that look at the site but do not belong to it. Why give us a bad name by making comments that were not called for.
Becky and all..
This Dominatrix attitude will not fly on this site. I have never met anyone who has been member or is a member of this club. The moderators of this club have done a really good job of keeping the content objective.
I would not welcome the kind of criticism that has been displayed here today, But we all know that we can agree to disagree. In the Big picture it's Scott's Site, and the Club belongs to everyone that are members.
That being said, I will not ask for anyone to adopt "my perspective" on anything that I post here. But I would hope that you would have the objectivity to set your principles on the shelf, laugh at yourself, and even the Irony of the cultures that we have in our republic and the right to see things through other peoples eyes and observations.
In a Word Becky, Chill or you won't have to worry about the people who might " Unfriend You" Here, or on FB or even on the road next year! Think about it before you flame out! :read: :sleep:
Ridin a pale Horse, and leaving the prairie for a few hours.. Jeeessh!

Well, that said, then the photo doesn't belong here either. Sorry but it IS offensive. I'm sure I'm not the only one offended by it. I'm just the one that voiced her opinion. It is not a family-friendly photo (the site won't let us spell s--u--c--k-- because it could be deemed offensive) but I find sexploitation more offensive. I realize it's probably the woman's choice to pose like that but I call it as I see it. And no, I don't have any firemen calendars in my possession.

Joe, I really don't care whether I get "unfriended" or not. This is America, and I should be free to express my opinion, same as everyone else. I will not "flame out" as you say, but when people defend exploitation (woman, child, animal)-even those who willingly do it- I'm gonna say something. When I get verbally attacked, as both you and Brad are doing, it makes me all the more stubborn and "vociferous". I'm not a feminazi or anything of the sort, but as I said before, if it's put in the forum then we all have a right to say something if we want.
Becky, although this is an open forum, we have moderators here on this site. If something is offensive you can always send a moderator an email asking that the topic be taken down , and for what reason it is offensive. This also goes for posts. If Joe is offended in your post, he can ask me to take it down ( as you said, free America and such ).
No one was verbally attacking you.
Now then, Please...... Lets CHILL................ ;D ;D :P :police:
I don't like having to be the Bad Person here, hence why I didn't ask a moderator to remove it. But as I said, I have the right to an opinion. As far as things getting heated up here it takes two (or more) to tango, so it's not just me. I would love to chill, but I don't like being told to shut up. No one does. Beicholz originated this thread and I would assume he wanted to see opinions. If my phrases were offensive to some then chalk it up to my response to what offended me. I'm a female from way back, and I know what strides women have made in terms of equal rights. Seeing that photo- whoever's idea it was for the woman to pose as she did- was insulting to me. I realize most of the viewers here aren't, but that doesn't mean everybody isn't. That said, I will still "speak" my mind- in favor or otherwise- where I see fit, as long as I'm a member of this site. We ALL need to chill, not just me.
you guys do know the guy selling that car is on this site right? he has had multiple cars on ebay and everyone of them has had a girl in the pics like a week ago he had a pretty nice svo stang for sale.
He had one for sale on this site too and when it got put on ebay it had a girl in the pics too.
I look on ebay all the time looking for Pintos I cannot afford, and that's the first I've seen of this person.
nope remember back like a month ago in your temp shout box i said id by a pinto if the chick in the pic came with it? thats the same seller and the one i looked at on there he had for sale here too.
The one selling the Cruising Wagon? If that's the one I stand corrected. She (the woman) was not offensive, or not nearly as offensive- as she is in the current one. There's another pic on ebay (the same Squire ad) where she looks ok.
yup that CW same guy selling all those car and its always a different girl in all the pics.
Hmmm....
Still, if I were in the money (HA!) to get yet another Pinto (and I really REALLY want a Squire) I would not get one based on what's draped or leaning on it... unless it's a big bag of money or Breyer model horses... heck, even a Rickenbacker guitar (natch I would get that along with the car. ;) )
lol hes also got a monza forsale right now with the same girl thats in this thread up on ebay.
I dont think id buy this pinto the CW ya that chick was smoking hot LOL

More Ice bartender please!
And THAT might just be why he started the thread... ;D
So, what your saying is ( to coin a phrase I have heard in advertising) Sex Sells?
Would anyone like to buy a runabout from this person? Judge carefully, it's a 19691/2 with a 1600 4 speed?
Oh go ahead, delete this post Hahha haa!

Yeah, I guess those commercials that cost 1 mil each at the Super Bowl would not appeal to much if Quasimodo was selling the Cadillac :o
To be honest all of this has been blown out of proportion. I think we all need to take a moment & let cooler heads prevail. No reason to be getting upset. Yes people's opinions are allowed but lets just not get too overboard with that & get pissed at everyone.

uhhhhhh, brian, I don't think anyone would want me to drive my Pinto naked lmao ;D
It's a part of life on this planet. Always has been always will be.
I doubt that she was forced to use 'sex' to help sell. If she chooses to hilight those attributes then more power to her IMHO.
That being said; I need a right front fender for a wagon.

Cute... but to kind of quote Al Borland... "I don't think so Tim..." :lol:
I quote Ren & Stimpy... HMMMMMM..... No sir, I don't like it
I think it's cute, but I think Ruby's previous owner would spin in her grave if she knew I drove Ruby in the nude. Heck- I'll spin in MY grave- and I'm not even dead yet!
OK, I just stumbled across this one. Ouch, how embarassing, can you imagine if the woman in that picture came across this thread. :accident: :lol: :showback: Here's to beer goggles and Pintos :drunk:
Well, it wasn't like she didn't know what she was doing...
Hey I didnt realize it was in Tucson until I was roaming around on Ebay...ya lets hope she doesnt see all of this...LOL
hey i think the pic is suppose to lure you away from the cars overall shape and not hersif. if the tshirt was wet then it might go too far for some. :drunk: :drunk:thats 2 please chris
The pic of the girl is different now... and better, if I may say so....
...not ENOUGH better to place a bid, but hey.... :lol:

Shoot! If I could in any way swing it I would love to have a white (or Grabber blue or medium yellow gold) Squire. That, and a '71 with half-glass hatch are my holy grails car-wise. ;D

Thank you Dwayne. I think so too. ;D
OK, my opinion, you would see more of her at the beach if she were wearing a bikini. I guess if you are offended by this then so be it. I know I am offended by things that most people think are funny. Usually it has something to do with how you were raised, values you were taught. I don't have a problem with the picture but I also don't think she is all THAT hot looking either. As long as he doesn't go any farther, he is entitled to advertise his cars any way he sees fit. Shera (sp) law isn't here yet, enjoy it while you can.

Where`s the red stripe
Wow, I fight that I didn't start. Weird.
who really cares i found the photos to be funny as heck she was having her 15mins of fame!!!
...or 15 minutes of infamy. We're free to express our points of view, popular or otherwise.
I don't find the picture offensive, she is showing less skin than most high school girls! But i do find the name calling offensive, to call her a ho or whore or white trash because she is posing on a car is just wrong.....you can think it all you want, but to post it in a thread on a site that the seller belongs to is down right nasty! This could be his wife, girlfriend, his mother....who knows. The pic might be in bad taste to some, maybe not to others, but writing that in a post is better than making it a personal attack by calling her a ho.

Hey all...
There's nothing wrong with being satirical , tasteless, or even extroverted. It's our constituitional right to do so. Does anyone here want to see anyone in their Summer clothes leaning on a Pinto? If someone has more aesthetically appealing physique than another, who is to say they can't put it on display?
Heck, are we in the NY Jets Locker room here? Dang , where's my hair club piece? I need to pose somewhere without being offensive! Whoops! better not show off my 3 pack, and get a Shirt too!
:lol: Life is for laughing, can U laugh at yourself yet? :showback:
