Do you think she'd notice?

let's assume for just a minute that you aren't aware that no 1970
Challengers were ever used on "The Dukes Of Hazzard", but would you go
for the full-on "Dixie" air-horns[1]?

[1] my cousin had these on a 3-door Ford Escort estate circa 1980 -
what a dick.

 

Yeah - I mean, compared to all those other
comedy/horror/self-referential series, eh?[1]


[1] Or just "WTF?!" )

 

In communiqué

You assume correctly, I was thinking "Vanishing Point".

To go a bit earlier, a 1950 Mercury, tastefully dropped and chopped.

 

well, let's see:

"American Gothic" - quite enjoyed it, but it was poorly edited and the
episodes were badly ordered, and I guess some would say it wasn't a
comedy.

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer" (and the spin-off, "Angel") - hated both of
those, but they're kid's programmes really

"Being Human" - liked the first series, then got bored

"True Blood" - absolutely love it, but not as much as Supernatural.

etc.

Of course, some of the above are "knowing" rather than "self-
referential", I guess.

 

you fucking hippy.

 

For pointing, and saying "Look! Turbo."

 

My first two cars were identical 1966 Chevrolet BelAir 4-door sedans.
The first had a 283 V-8 and the second had a 250 six. I can't remember
what I paid for the 2nd one but I know the first one was $75. Happy days.

Well, it wasn't a restriction as such, but as darsy mentioned a 1967
Chevy Impala, I chose a car of the same era.

I'm not sure that you then choosing a mid-70s car is entering into the
spirit of things. You might as well have said a 2011 Dodge Viper!

 

ugly, ugly car, though, no matter how iconic it is for you.

you'll love the music, if nothing else.

 

if we're going to be going "back...waaaay back" then

It sounds nice, but nothing like a '60s muscle car. If I just heard it
without seeing, I'd say AMG Merc.

 

I might have to fire the Corvette up at the weekend now & stick
something on YouTube.

 

although the show is set "now" (well, a "now" were we're about to have
the armageddon and demons and angels walk the earth) the music is
pretty much exclusively '70s and early '80s rock.

There's a particularly funny episode that does a sort of "Groundhog
Day" thing, where one of the characters is repeatedly woken up on the
same day to an alarmclock-radio playing Asia's "The Heat Of the
Moment".

Don't let that put you off though ;-)

 

After two of us had explicitly chosen mid-60s cars!

Anyway, in that time I went from being aged 3 to being aged 9/10, so it
was a big difference to me!

 

The Mercury had a much nicer grille. But the leadsled thing does it.
The white walls are a no no but moon discs would be essential.
Hey if it's good enough for Marion Cobretti.....

 

You should exchange punctuation marks with Nige.

 

My best friend in high school had a XA Falcon hardtop. It was ok but
like most stuff of that vintage was awful in the handling and brakes
department. I preffered my Valiant Charger.

The one out of Cobra was absolutely wonderful. Possibly the only good
thing in the entire movie.
