When I opened up my AOL 9, it was a picture of a pinto and when I clicked on it there was a poll of the worst cars ever made. Pinto's were listed but I voted on a vega. You can click onto an article saying how bad Ford pinto's are and you can send them emails stating how good the car is. If we all send our comments maybe they will take it off their list!

don't count on it Henry! Sorry i didn't get back to you yesterday, i didn't see it till later in the day, how was the speedorama?
This came up on TurboFord's board a while back.
A guy on there who goes by 67King had a great responce to it.
He said:
"Um, it's forbe's magazine, people. What do y'all expect? If Road andTrack did a piece on musicians, do you think they would put Ray Charles high up on the list? Probably not. Mark Knoppfler? Absolutely (he collects European exotics, and is very much an automotive enthusiast). Think about the perspective here- it isn't a piece about bad cars, it's a piece about bad investments."
67king is a good guy, very helpfull to me in my conversion to EFI. How right he is!
