September 3, 200520 yr Pontiac... Monterey??!! When did they get a rebadged Windstar? http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/200..._Monterey.shtml
September 3, 200520 yr I'm going to get into my 1968 Ford Camaro* and dive down there right now and kick some ass. * it's got to be a Ford since it has racing stripes right?
September 3, 200520 yr Random spasm of thought, but Monterey is such a cool name for a car. Why did Ford put it on a minivan??
September 3, 200520 yr Many publications and tv shows make errors like this. Yesterday a news show was doing a retrospective on cars and their sex appeal in movies. They covered a variety of movies and identified the cars correctly until a movie with Natalie Wood, and they show what is so obviously a 49 era Mercury, which is an iconic car. The narrator identified it as an ugly Chevrolet, but the way Natalie was leaning against it and her co-star stabbing the tire with a knife by her leg was very suggestive and sexy.

The narrator identified it as an ugly Chevrolet, but the way Natalie was leaning against it and her co-star stabbing the tire with a knife by her leg was very suggestive and sexy. That's Rebel Without a Cause from 1955, starring James Dean. Not only is the car iconic, unquestionably the movie is too. Jackass 'journalism' at it's best. Makes me want to drop a '49 Merc off a jack onto the torsos of these journalists, so they can scream up at the Mercury hood emblem and learn something worth knowing for a change.

September 4, 200520 yr Author This is where you are wrong. There IS a page for Pontiac Montana on the same year. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/200...c_Montana.shtml
September 5, 200520 yr That's a violent visual.... Yeah.... :blink: Really?? And I was going to add 'spit blood' in with 'scream up at'... Guess this sh!t makes me angrier than I thought... :unsure:
