Re: IML: Temper tantrums and the upcoming survey for 67-68 Imperials of diversity in color...

[Gale jorgensen <gjorgensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

exactly my point - we need to look at the history of an era and what where the trends at that time - and who is introducing those trends - does it come from women's fashion? 
there is alot of bohemian retro  and glitzy glam things being featured - will that influence the design  of cars in a few years - will rhinestones stud our cars in a few yrs. just as they are on women's accessories? could be  - look the the 56 dash again - there are little jeweled / faceted  lights on the dash.
As long as we are doing a survey why not also do a prophesy of what we think cars colors and design features will be in 5 or 7 yrs........
case in point - after 911 the fashion industry did just black and black and grey for  a few years - and if you look at cars on the road from this time more black and grey and beige - I think anyway  = I do not know the stats well fashion industry is going w./  vibrant color and sort of anything goes.... will that also affect the cars colors schemes?? Pabsoutly - but how ........so how about a predection and then in a few yrs we can see who got it right - winner gets a gallon of gas !

If any shag carpet is involved as well, and you don’t have a shag carpet rake, or if you have White shag carpet, and own pets, and/or children (redundant, I know), or work on your IMPERIAL, then traipse through the house with aforementioned white shag carpet you must have been very bad as a living person, and covered your living room furniture in plastic too probably.? Trust me, I’ve seen it.? It is also why refinancing mortgages is very popular.? Why shag carpet is coming back, well some things in this universe just can’t be explained.?</x-tad-bigger>

If some people are so completely out of balance over their emotions on this, to be blunt, non-issue, a check of their insurance benefits would be in order I think, and then an nice, soothing visit to a...“Spa”, yes, that’s it, a Spa for a couple of weeks, and getting the properly balanced meds worked out would be of tremendous help in all aspects of their daily life, even beyond a name for a 2 year production Imperial on this site that has been around since rocks were invented, and never hurt this site, or drove member who own one away in disgust over the jovial name, or any other owners.? If I were new to this list and saw the goings on over this all, I’d wonder why the list was here at all, and what it really had to offer.</x-tad-bigger>
