grayhair Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Survey results (from 12 of my buddies) are in and it is unanimous. We all support the implementation of a new $.01 per gallon of fuel and $1.00 per tire federal excise tax provided however that the proceeds are used solely for the purpose of locating, acquiring, and crushing undesirable road trash as follows: Pontiac Azteks, Ford Aerostars, Ford Pinto station wagons Chevrolet Vegas Said taxing authority shall expire upon completion of this important public service endeavor.

Popular Post j hancock Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hmmm.... started out OK but Pinto wagons make great bodies for vintage asphalt modifieds and not many survived rotting out! I wouldn't mind having a Don Hardy built Vega drag car. So, let's add Prius to the list. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post 66dc75 Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 Nothing wrong with a Vega as long as someone dropped a small block in it. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52967-votes-in-favor-of-new-excise-taxes/#findComment-395495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I had two Vega GT's with BBC engines and one with a SBC. Also had a pair of Pinto's each with 302 SBF engines. Also had a 73 Pinto Squire wagon completely stock. Nothing wrong with either platform when set up right utilizing parts from Doug Thorley Engineering. Don't see too many Aerostar vans any longer as they didn't hold up too well to the rust. Aztek? Never should have been built as ugly from the get go. Former employee got one of those brand new from dealer with all kinds of incentives because they couldn't sell it. Still driving it and it's just as fugly as the day it was built, but very dependable. 2 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Dirtymilkman Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I agree that the Prius could go. Those Aztecs were so fugly. I bought one for a beater once......and I LOVED it! Easy to get in and out of, very reliable and the center console lifted out and doubles as a cooler! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52967-votes-in-favor-of-new-excise-taxes/#findComment-395537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
