Then this:

I liked my Lincolns.

My coworker still has his Firebird GR. Keeps it in the garage. It is the LS1.

I got pulled over for the infraction of not having a front license plate once.

called the court to set up an appearance date, and i was informed that if they received a photograph that showed a front license plate on the vehicle there would be a no need for an appearance and the ticket would be dismissed.

so...

1. I promptly took a picture of the front and rear of my car that evening.

2. I loaded up microsoft paint

3. I copied the license plate from the image of the back of the car

4. I pasted the license plate onto the front of the car

5. printed the resulting image and faxed it to the court

ticket dismissed!

My coworker will not put the plate on the front of his either. Said he would prefer the ticket. Hates to have a tag on the front of his car. Truly though, the tag on the nose of the Firefird looks ugly.

not only that but if memory serves correctly, you have to get the dealer to order you a front license plate mounting kit.

this removes the flaming chicken emblem and replaces it with a little boxy frame you attach your license plate to.

I'm sure the cost of this kit is probably more than the cost of the ticket.

My mother drove a 1990 Lincoln Town Car up until her death. You didn't feel a thing when you drove it; it was the most luxurious ride I have ever had. The major downsides were twofold: It was rear wheel drive, so it handled like crap in the snow, and it required a lot of work as it got older. I ended up selling it after she died.

My most favorite car that I have ever owned was a turquoise 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado, purchased in early 2006 for 4,000$ USD from a guy in Missouri. Turns out, the original owner was a low-level mafia guy in Nevada during the 1970s who died in the 1980s. Anyway, it's a great and stylish car, still have it and it runs great. Not to mention, purchased for a great price.

One of my favorite cars from back in the day was a beige 2000 Lincoln Navigator purchased in late 1999 for 50,000$ USD. Great car all-around, but it broke down in late 2007 and was sold to a junk/scrap yard in mid-2010 for around 900 dollars. The only downside was bad gas mileage. This didn't matter in the late 1990s and early 2000s when fuel prices were low, but into the mid-to-late 2000s, as fuel prices rose, let's say the car burned a hole in one's wallet.

I'm currently looking to buy a mid-to-late 1970s Cadillac Eldorado right now, but with the economy being the way it is, it's been hard to find one at a low and reasonable price and in decent condition.

My dream cars that I would love to have for all time would be a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and a 1996 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport.
