raymond - 2004-10-18 13:37:38 Oh no--that tiny shop on Huron? What a shame!--was that recent? * * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-10-18 13:42:56 I've been rattling the door for a month. I called the phone numbers but they were disconnected. I asked at Congdon's and was told that Bailey's is kaput. It was a good shop with reasonable prices and skilled people. Cousin to ex-Willow Village people I know.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-18 13:49:04 I'm sorry to hear that; thanks for the information. Sadly ironic for a lock shop to lock itself up...* * * * * * * * * * * * Phil - 2004-10-18 16:34:14 Cool the opening page to this link is an add for the new 2005 Mustang :) * * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-10-18 18:40:01 We can easily fit four bales of hay in our uncool '91 Festiva. How many bales fit into the '05 Mustang?* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-18 20:21:32 I guesstimate I could fit 10 bales of hay in the back of the F150. And if it ran I'd really be cookin'.* * * * * * * * * * * * Phil - 2004-10-18 20:52:26 6, so yes it is cooler than your Festiva.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-18 21:02:42 6? 6?! How on earth does Ford know this? I am picturing the R&D that led to this conclusion...and...(sorry, Phil, just teasing)...laughing out loud.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-18 21:06:26 Also, since I lack that very special appendage which "drives" various people to feverish car-upsmanship, I will gracefully concede up front that both the Mustang and the Festiva are levels of coolness above both my rotting Ford F150 and my dead-batteried, crud-filled Sunfire (laughs all the way to the bike rack).* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-18 21:07:10 (still just teasing, Phil) :)* * * * * * * * * * * * Phil - 2004-10-18 22:01:45 You can fit 2 in the trunk laying down, from front to back, thanks to the cool folding down seats :) Then you can fit 3 upright on the back seats. Finally you fit the last one in the front seat :) It is tight but it works with some pushing and making a little mess :) Oh and if anyone is sic of my Mustang talk I can't help it. It has been a long 3 years of work and I am proud to be a part of this release so just deal with it :)* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-18 23:35:20 I for one am anything but sick of your Mustang talk. I like it. I love hearing from someone who was instumental in designing an American icon. I like the peek into a world foreign to me, and I like learning about something new to me. And, I admit, I cherish the opportunity to learn as weird a fact as that the stylin' Mustang is, in addition to its sleekness, dizzying speed, and head-turning design, a damn fine hay-hauler, too. :)* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-10-19 07:57:43 Putting hay into an automobile does not make "a little mess." The result is a huge mess. I dare anyone to demonstrate six bales of hay in a new Mustang. First, I don't believe they would fit. Second, without paying several hundred dollars to attempt a clean-up, bits of hay would remain till the junk-heap. We are hillbillies and don't have to clean the Festiva (which can haul its load of hay or whatever) at 45 mpg. No, it does run red lights as fast as a Mustang. It stops for stop signals. The Festiva serves as a mode of carriage. It is not ornament, prestige, and thrill. As to a bale in the front seat, I do not travel alone.* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-10-19 08:02:04 ...and we've carried as many as 40 bales on the Ranger. 30 is the maximum safe (oops, like sex, it's never safe) load, 24 the sensible.* * * * * * * * * * * * Leighton - 2004-10-19 09:44:44 I've actually been to the Kuntna Hora Bone Chapel (paid an extra fee to video for hours). It is probably one of the greatest places in the world. Though the salads in surrounding cafe's feature liver and ketchup. My Fiero "Krokusvagen" cannot hold any hay at all. It cannot even hold a spare tire. Purpose built.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-19 09:49:02 Wow! How cool that you actually visited the bone chapel; that's amazing. The salads sound a tad less then appetizing, though.* * * * * * * * * * * * Phil - 2004-10-19 12:30:59 It was a joke Ray. Have fun in your Festiva ok.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-19 12:44:41 Good, that's what I like to see, civility. :)* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-10-19 13:12:27 A joke? Drat. I was hoping for a 0-60 test ride out to Manchester in the rain to pick up a few samples from a new hay source I found out there.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-10-19 13:13:59 Wish I had a dime for every time Raymond has made me laugh out loud here in the cubicle...* * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: |
