Pimps Everywhere Rejoice
Just saw this on eBay.....and I am baffled!
My car buddies and I have had many discussions about car designs in the 60's, 70's and early 80's when designers were limited to standard round 5 3/4" or 7" headlights or a basic set of rectangular sealed beam units. We often discussed what we considered creative designs that tried to integrate the lighting units in new and interesting ways (which is probably why just about everything exotic in that era had flip up / recessed lights) . However, whoever came up with this design wins by a landslide!

This pimptastic whip is up on eBay right now! As ridiculous as it is....it really is in immaculate condition. The scary thing is as soon as I saw the auction listing I knew I saw one of these before. Then it hit me....the movie cover of Super Fly. I'm not sure if I'm proud or ashamed of the fact that I was able to recall this.
So happy bidding!

I Don't Like Musicals
I love car movies! I even love the bad ones (which there are plenty of) if there is enough driving, racing, or hooning on display. I have a special place in my heart for the classics like American Graffiti, Two-Lane Blacktop, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Bullitt, Vanishing Point....you get the point. If I stumble upon one while channel surfing I consider it must see TV till the final credits roll. However, the majority of the cult classics really only appeal to car-guys at this point in time. My clinical data to substantiate this statement.....of the movies mentioned above I'd probably only gt my wife to watch American Graffiti with me again (yes she has watched all of the other out of obligation).
However, there is one car movie that she absolutely loves and I cannot stand. In fact it was on two days ago and she stopped to see if my sons would be interested and I literally left the room. That movie is 1978's Grease!
Her and I joke about the fact that there is a movie that features cars, gangs, and Vinnie Barbarino and I can't stand it. The simple fact is I don't like musicals. I guess that people randomly breaking into song can even ruin Ben-Hur style hub caps.
Honestly, Grease can probably be considered the most mainstream car movie ever made. The irony goes even further. When I was in high-school the majority of my class was having parties in which they watched (and apparently sang along with) Grease. You know who wasn't at these parties? The socially shunned gear heads (you sense the bitterness) who were literally out cruising/street racing while these private screenings were taking place. And just for some perspective on the movie's staying power.....I went to high-school 18 years after the movie was released!
So why do I bring this up now. As I mentioned, Grease was on yet again the other day, but more importantly, the original 1949 Mercury that Craterface drove is for sale on eBay right now. So if you have over 100 grand burning a hole in your pocket and aren't revolted by the concept of people randomly bursting into song here's the ride for you...

Art of Pursuasion - Gearhead Style
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121243741380?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
If it is no longer available all you need to know is this is how the listing opened....
"RUST, DINGS, SMALL DENTS, OFFENSIVE, SMELLS, LOUD, NOT socially acceptable, girls DON'T like it! etc... This is NOT the truck for you if wear skinny jeans or the one's with the scrolly crap on the back pockets. They cant hear you in the drive through at starbucks, and nobody will make eye contact with you at you kids soccer practice. That said.....this truck is AWESOME!!!!"
