If the Bandit had a V6 firebird instead of the TA, he wouldn't have been cool, the chicks wouldn't look twice at him, and Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have caught that sumbich. See the difference?

Man you guys are really starting to let me down. The women I know have their own jobs. They aren't concerned with a man's bank account.

Everything costs a lot more to include cars and the dollar just doesn't have the same buying power that it did when Fox Body Mustangs were new.
Wut? You mean you don't believe your government saying 20 yr inflation has averaged less than 3%??

Of course that's with their magical formula where technical advances have increased productivity and made many consumer items so much cheaper than 20 yrs ago. While that doesn't apply to many necessities, there is some truth to it.

As for housing my first mortgage under Volcker was 15% variable. Now look at the record low mortgage rates of 4% range 30yr fixed... that is CHEAP money. Plus there are plenty of foreclosures/fixer uppers left to pick up cheap after the Great Implosion. Not to mention cheap auto loans today like I said.

So with the US economy at borderline deflation (Japan & Europe still there) its hard to say 'everything costs a lot more'. While many lower end wage categories are still flatline, there are also a lot of motivated upwardly mobile people who are knocking down better money than the 90's. The present government and its propa-media complex just doesn't want you to hear about it.

The 6.6 liter Firebird that the Bandit drove would get it's butt handed to it by todays V6 Mustang / Camaro with no problem. Heck it would have trouble taking on the 4.0 V6 Mustang for that matter. In fact to film the bridge jump scene in Smokey and Bandit they had to take the stock engine out and put a racing engine in the car in order for it to build up enough speed in the distance allowed before the jump.

Additionally I got bad news for you man. Chicks these days don't care about what's under your hood. Probably never did to be honest about it. I get compliments from a lot of women on my car. I think they are more attracted to the color than anything really.

Key word is KNOW. You ain't getting any from them. Because you drive a sixer.

I just can't imagine why you guys get divorced given some of the pearls of knowledge about women that I've seen displayed here

lol okay, if that makes you feel better, go with that. It's sad that you need a car to get any play, really.




2K7 and Jeff, calm down, we are just having a bit of fun.

Geez man it's an example of coolness that we all grew up understanding. If you can't understand a Bandit reference, you really should go buy a Prius.

The Bandit was not cool because of the Trans Am Al. The Trans Am was cool because of the Bandit. If you stick Booger from Revenge of the Nerds in that car for example, he's still not getting laid. Coolness, attractiveness to women etc etc is not defined by your material possessions. You know this. It's the man that makes the difference, not the car or his clothes or any of that. If you don't believe that go ask just about any woman and she'll tell you. You can have all the cool cars and cowboy hats in the world, but if you're just an a**hole none of that will matter.

Lol. Back in the 90's when I was whoring like dog with two peckers, yeah that fancy car just made life real easy. And no I didn't care if she could even spell her own name. Really hoping like hell she didn't want a meaningful relationship. Lol

I really feel sorry for you man. If you were gay, I would completely understand. You're just not wired right.

Oh sorry man. I'm in Madison County, AL. Huntsville AL area. Population is just over 300K. We have a lot of technology based industry here and the Marshall Space Flight center. It's a pretty nice place to live. Cost of living isn't bad. There are three colleges and a couple of good technical schools and as a plus the winters are no where near Pittsburgh bad lol
