Buy a Ford! They're the best! Drive a mile walk the rest!

sorry pettyfog


And i would take mine on a 1000 mile trip no prob

 

Yeah, I'd do it. I'd feel better about it if I had a new fuel pump cause mines way over due, but yeah.

 

I'm old enough to buy you a drink pettyfog hahahaha.

Hey don't worry pettyfog, here's another one for ya since you're a ford guy.

Fix
Or
Repair
Daily

Also, to everyone else. Here is one we can all agree on.

Just
Eats
Every
Part

 

That's blasphemy lmao anyways to answer the question at this point in time I would have to say no I wouldn't trust my Blazer due to the fact there are unknown problems with it still but after those are fixed I would definitely trust it on a 1k trip.

 

I would'a bought a Grand Cherokee.. at the right price. And expected to have to work on it a lot.. just as I did the Bravadiva.

\I'm sixty eight bub. You REALLY think I aint heard all those?
I owned plenty chevies.. including the one most'a you would drool over.

Been there done that.
But the Bowtie Blue Oval war is over.

 

what a beauty ^^

was that the one you owned Mr fog

 

In a heartbeat, I would go coast to coast with without a second thought.

 

No.. I dont know where the pix I have are. Black BelAir 2dr HT but had different wheels and Red/silver interior.
Otherwise pretty much looked like that: 283-270hp, Borg-Warner 4 speed, Hurst Comp Shifter. Stock Dual Exhaust {off a 290} Station Wagon Springs, Sun Tach, S-w 270 deg Oil Gauge.
Fun to drive.. reliable as hell... though I did blow the engine 2 miles into a trip to Cedar point. LUCKY!

But sheer joy of driving.. couldnt hold a candle to this:



I put 130,000 miles on that little sweetheart. no that's not exactly a Mustang. It's an SVO.
From the factory: 2.3L OHC, 18 lb boost turbo intercooled, recaro style seats on Lincoln MkVII running gear.

 

Have you heard this one:

Drips
Oil
Drop's
Grease
Everywhere

 

Shucks Petty! I'm a guy who likes to make people laugh.
My folks own a dodge, I've owned a hyundai before the chevy. One of my best friends owns a ford. I'm an equal opportunity offender.

And yes I like the bel-air and I do appreciate the classics. That being said, I've drove two classics in my life. A '56 Chevy Bel-Air and a '70 Chevy Nova. Both pro-street, both would whoop just about anything in a straight line. The '56 had no power steering of course and I had never driven anything without that, so it took some muscle and time. The '70 had power steering but when you put your foot in it, that rear end whipped like nothing I've done before. I'm still young and have plenty of lessons to learn, but I know where you're coming from. We share some of the same experiences.
