HECK!...it was the QE2!!!!!

Down on the corner, up on the avenue,
People are pointin', calling out after you.
Hands on their hips, their eyes geting wider
They can't believe the thing that yer drivin'

28 feet from bumper to bumper
The last of the sweet old time gas guzzlers
Hard to drive harder to park But
when you do somebody remarks
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car

Elvis had one and so did Hank
It don't look like money
It looks like the bank
Makes a scene every time you stop it
Rides like a dream
Goes like a rocket
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car

Headlights thick as mason jars
Everybody says that it looks like Mars
Shiner than a country star
And nothing ever looked as good in your front yaaaaaaaard
Brighter than an aluminum trailer
Curvy windshields and tinted mirrors
Grill looks like a cafe sign
And the whitewalls drive ya out of yer mind
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car

Re: #77 - what were you?

Lessee here. Some word association. Ship. QE...... Well, the car is certainly big enough..... But, isn't one of the QE's now a hotel? Somewhere in California, I think. Hotel. Maybe it's a hotel? Hmmmm. Hotel........ Delta? Nope. That's an Oldsmobile. Ummmm, Sheraton? Nah. On one ever made one of those. Hilton? Nope, Paris wouldn't be seen dead in one of those. Has to be a Lamborghini for her, and the subject vehicle is anything but! Ah, wait!............ I've got it!

It's the Royal York!

You know..........

Fairmont!

Re: #77 - what were you?

THIS IS A BUST

enough engine jokes

[Gary]

Re: #77 - what were you?

Well, OK then. No more engine jokes, or badge engineering jokes. Sure it`s a Zephyr. It says so, right here on top of this here Fairmont tin!

Anyway, I digress. Little old lady`s car indeed! We all know what it really is. Namely the platform for Ford`s Mustang from the late 70`s through to 2004, or whenever the new one came out. So what it really is is a Mustang in DRAG! All it needs is a V8! Then you could go head to head with Tom in studs!
