versus toycars, Must Read
The older cars were built in an era of correctly built for the
time. I never refer to an older car as enviormently incorrect car, Including
Imperials. Heck, todays cars with gadgets that distract the driver are
enviormentally (mental) incorrect. Remember when we said, "See ya when
we get there". No body being distracted with a cell phone back then that could
crash into me. No gps. Why, gettin lost meant a new adventure. Seeing places
the crowd of gps users will never see because they are all being sent down the
same road together. Then, just when you need your gps the most because you do
not have a map or remember how to get somewhere, the gps takes a cr!p and goes
to sleep.
See, my Imperial is enviornmentally correct because
I did not buy a new car and produce factory emissions to replace it. I
recycled almost 3 tons of product by putting it back on the road in 83 and
kept parts out of the public dump by using old parts to keep it running. So, I
am truly enviornmentally Correct thank you. joe machado, I
never put down an Imperial

I agree with
Rob. Our cars are not "environmentally correct" in that they use more
gasoline, but we sure enjoy driving them. The looks and the comfort in
these older cars outshines the newer toy cars. Being able to stretch out
our legs and have plenty of hip room is "real luxury". New cars may have
more gadgets inside and under the hood, but they don't have the class or
attraction of the older cars IMHO. Many of the styling and engineering
features that were introduced in Imperials over the years have now become
standard in nearly all cars now: 4-wheel disc brakes, cruise control,
curved side-glass, ABS, safety rim wheels. I still like the idea of
swivel front seats. Perhaps some day they will make a
come-back.
