Theres just something about a thunderbird....
Reply #17 –
well i see tbirdscott's boxes in his signature all the time!, and i have looked in the user rides section.
when i first saw what the boxbirds were like i went UUUGHHH:yuck:
i felt sorry for the t-bird itself that it too had to be a part of the bland boxy early 1980's car trend.
but you know what? the more ive looked at them the more i think that if i was around then and HAD to get a new car, and not a rich guy car, lets assume the likely situation im like everyone else gotta get a run of the mill car, id probably be looking at them over anything else! they seem to have "gotten a lemon and made lemonade" with the box-birds. they really are classy-looking cars and they sorta grow on me. personally i think the 87-88 cougars are the best looking of any bird/cat 1980's and afterward, and we all know '83 was the year the bird/cat REALLY stood out but i gotta say if i had to choose a car in 1981 a boxbird would be a great one
OTHER RANT/TANGENT:i just have to say this. if i was living in the 70's as a, i dunno 20-30 year old or something and i had bought some kind of muscle car, especially if it was like a Boss mustang, i would NEVER have gotten rid of it. i know some people did this, my uncle's friend who did some work on my cat for me has a 1973 'stang mach 1, he got it in '76! right in the middle of the crisis! he hung onto the thing, now today its been repainted (probably had to be restored a little too), spotless, and modded, pushin like 500 horses......i woulda been one of those people 
. sky-high gas? :flip: ill pay anything to run my brutally-powerful v8. new cars now suddenly requiring power-robbing emissions ? pppfft, no way man! insurance gettin higher too? :flip: i woulda sold my house and everything else i had and lived in a shack if i could keep driving what i was driving. then, years and years later...whoa! its worth like $50k now!!! (not that id sell it, just that i could drive around like "cool this things worth a real lot and i didnt pay that much when i bought it!) even though the skyrocketed values of musclecars is rather fake still thats where the market is, you cant change it...
