| Fairlane Legacy. (And Galaxies too!) |
| By Paul M - 08/08/2001 3:45:40 PM; IP 24.20.44.11 |
I remember growing up, being a teen in the late `70's early `80's, seeing and hearing trash talk about Galaxies and Fairlanes; How ordinary, boxy, dull, and boring cars they were, and noone (well, very, very few) wanted them, preferring the the GM styles, or even Mopars. It wasn't necessarily about performance, either, mostly just styles, and looks.
Silly, foolish people they were.
Makes me wish I could have afforded the few good ones that came along in the want-ads, because it seemed that those that DID like them, held on to them like glue. And now I know why, wishing to beat-all that I could afford one now. If anything, my appreciation and love for those old Fords, as WELL as the early Mustangs, has done nothing but grow over the years. And 2 years ago, I was almost ready to start my collection. But,
a serious work injury, and a year+ unemployment later, I have to start all over again, from ground zero, and drool all over what cars you folks are all fortunate enough to enjoy.
But that's okay, my time's coming, and I am patient enough to wait. In the meantime, the more I learn, the better I'll be for it, and the more I can laugh at Brand X owners who JUST DONT GET IT!
So, keep building them, keep racing them, keep doing whatever it is you feel the desire to do, as long as we get to here about it, that makes me happy!
