And Wayne, it's OK. I only cried for 20 minutes over your harsh and mocking response.
[/quote:4eea9621af]

Hey, take that back! I wasn't mocking :p


[quote:4eea9621af]
But you never answered my follow up question!!!! Do you call it a "bull horn" and if so, how do you differentiate between a "bull horn" and a "bullhorn" (the thing you talk out of)? Or does it have its own name? And can you maybe send me one? I kinda thought they were cool...
[/quote:4eea9621af]

Actually they are "Bull Horns". The difference between the two is that when you talk through one of them your voice sounds really really loud. If you do this with the other you will look really really stupid :lol::lol::lol:

{poking fun at city slickerettes is fun, fun, fun :cool: }


And you want Bull Horns on an Escort? They would be bigger than the car :D:D:D

I was beginning to wonder if anyone noticed that little pun, or if Lance and I were the only ones with knowledge of bovine-ery.

Lawrence, it seems most of our friends here know more about sheep and goats than cow, bulls, and steers. So, I will have to tell you city folk about cattle and their horns. Polled cattle are animals that have no horns. However, it [b:07e483e78d]usually[/b:07e483e78d] refers to those that have been either mechanically or chemically dehorned. Those that are naturally hornless, such as angus, are called "muley."

Don't ask me why?

Mary - if you're so good at identifying vehicles, let me ask you if you know what a Dacia is. I got hit from behind by one last year while walking down the SIDEWALK. And the lady was going in reverse. I went completely up on top of her trunk. Isn't that ridiculous? [/quote:53e2efef8b]

I must confess that I have never heard of a Dacia. So, intrigued, I called my dad, who has forgotten more about cars than I will ever know. He had never heard of it either, so I feel (somewhat) vindicated. It sounds FOREIGN, though - like one of those tiny little eastern bloc country's offerings to the memory of Henry Ford. (Speaking of bat spit...)

If you walked away from the accident, I'm guessing I'm right...am I close?

I like vantastic vehicles. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: [/quote:3fb9ea9011]

Better be careful - you drive around in a minivan and you're going to start looking like your avatar...

Mary :D
 
Wayne,

Bull horns are bigger than an escort? Are you sure? Because the AMC Eagle I saw (which started this puppy) had bull horns on it, and they weren't bigger than the car...Are there little bitty cows? You know, like Shetland ponies, but cows?

And I am completely OK with being a city slickerette. The closest I ever got to a bird was a Canada goose, and he bit me! (Hence my distrust of birds and Canadians.) I shudder to think what a cow might do to me if I gave him half a chance...

And, no, I don't get whatever your pun was, guys. That's OK. You will never fully understand the significance of 8 Mile Road.

Mary :D

Well I'm impressed. You narrowed that down so fast its embarassing.
 
Lance,
I'd heard that growing up but, I just thought it was a local colloquialism because I've not heard it since. My papa just called them 'slicks'.

I'm telling you, we bleed motor oil here. I'm feeling quite puffed up and proud of myself right now!!!

PLUS, this is (by far) the longest thread I ever started! As Mr. Burns would say, "Excellent"...

BTW, did I mention that the Pistons are going to take down the mighty Lakers in the finals?!?!

You ARE a Pistons fan, right??

The problem is, dear Mary, that since you are from DEtroit, you have a different perspective as to size. Here in Texas, everything is bigger and better, including our Bull Horns (and of course true Bull Horns are from TEXAS LONGHORNS!). That's why you only see Bull Horns on a car that can handle them, like a 1960's model Cadillac Fleetwood (preferrably a convertible). Putting Bull Horns on an Escort is close to sacrilege :yes:

Also, you said "I shudder to think what a cow might do to me if I gave him half a chance..." Remember, a cow is a "her" not a "him". :scholar:

Okay, pop quiz: Best car movie?

Answer: Vanishing Point. I loved that Challenger Kowalski drove!!!
 
2004 Honda Civic

and

1997 Toyota Camry

The Japanese may not have conquered America with military might, but by golly, they have conquered the car market, as well as this man's heart!

Wayne,
I still gotta give it up for Bullitt - the first ever car chase shot in real time on actual city streets (as opposed to in the studio with all that fake steering going on). I LOVE the story about them getting the Charger and the Mustang (390?) ready - the Mustang almost had to be rebuilt, it needed so many upgrades. The Charger only needed heavy duty shocks...Plus Bullitt had Steve McQueen in it! He makes anything better!!!

The only bad thing is the ultimate destruction of the Charger (and the bad guys) at the end of the chase.

LeMans is another good one (and also features McQueen)...

That's OK about not being able to put bulls horns on my Escort - how about an effigy of Kobe Bryant? (He's small enough to fit!)

Sounds good to me! I hate the Lakers :tomb: I'm a Celtics fan and hating the Lakers is a requirement.

Remember this: "Detroit inbounds the ball. Bird steals the ball, Bird steals the ball!!!! Passes to D.J. and he scoooooooores :lol::lol::lol:

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.
 
Wayne,

In the interest of beating an army of Pistons fans to help destroy the forces of evil I will overlook the taunt!

Mary :D

I WAS a pistons fan back in the "Bad Boy I" era, then I switched to the Bulls when Rodman went there. Now I'm simply anti-Lakers, and particularly, anti-Malone, anti-Kobe, and anti-Shaq. Consequently, last week my favorite player was KG. Now I suppose it might as well be Rasheed, partly out of my respect for Isaiah Thomas. If Malone gets a championship ring on his finger, just think how much more that will hurt the next time he hits someone. Does anyone want that?

The Mailman: :mad:
Kobe's judge::judge:
Lakers triple-teaming Rasheed: :deadhorse:
 
[b:490d240500]YES!!![/b:490d240500] My army is being assembled. Manata will rue the day he tried to diss the Pistons!!!! And BTW, have you seen what rumors he has been spreading about Rasheed?!? Not very nice at all...check the NBA thread if you haven't before...

Mary :D:D:D
 
I have about 4 1/2 months until the baby comes. Becuase I can't afford anything else, I've decided to sell my truck and my wife's sunfire and we'll buy a new minivan for her and the kid and I'll drive a moped to work. Shouldn't take me but an hour to get there in the morning.
