What ones?

What cars look better than the FD? Not many, the C2 and C5 Corvette, the Jaguar E-Type, Ferrari 355 and 275, the Lotus Evora, etc.

Those are some of them that immediately came to mind.

And you end up with a slightly smaller Corvette, and you might as well get that or a Camaro

Wasn't saying that I agree with the practice.

I will say that an LS equipped RX7 is cheaper than a Corvette and, if its well set up, will embarrass a Camaro.

I have a long list of cars that look better than an RX-7, and it includes the Austin Allegro.

Here comes another "snippet at a time" story of a car:
In 1968, Maria Hennel, a Northern California mother of a newborn, replaced her Triumph with a Ford Cortina 1600E, a captive import from Ford of Britain. She liked the car and was fond of its handling.
Despite the car being a subcompact, it was not too small for her family. In 1973, Mrs Hennel had a 2nd child, so she decided to replace the Cortina with a Chevelle and sold the Ford to...

edit: I suppose if I'm going to put up the 355, I should include the NSX as well.

Forget the LS motor. All you need is a turbo. That thing would fly! Sure might not beet a vet in a straight line, but it would shine in corners

We should put this to a poll, is the above post an obvious and unfunny attempt at a joke or an indication of shit taste?

FDs are already turbocharged.

Well, he does.
The Austin Allegro was hideous. That quartic steering wheel, the acres of brown, the lack of power.

I should try to convince one of my friends to buy an FD, just to see how well that system works.

Well, I think brown looks nice in certain areas. Simple, not trying to be anything.

70s cars look great in brown. Like they were designed for it. And it fits the older Camrys nicely.

Bill Gunning, a pig farmer. He used the Ford for quite a few years as a smaller car that was easy on gas for when he made errand runs and didn't need to carry much, where his 1955 Ford F-100 would use up too much gas and be unwieldy. He also had a 1968 Ford Mustang that he occasionally used for showing off while driving into town. He also had a Ford tractor, which he used for chores around the farm. Bill Gunning was a pretty big Ford fan. However, in 1986, he ended up in deep financial trouble and his farm was in danger of being taken by the bank. He ended up becoming an alcoholic, his farm fell into disarray, and he ended up never leaving the farm. The 4 Fords ended up being parked in a small grove of cottonwood trees by the barn, slowly rusting as they fell into disuse. By 1988, Mr. Gunning had commited suicide via a rope from the rafter of his barn. The farm was soon completely abandoned with no one left to take care for it. But one day, in the year 2008.....
