Earth-Angel Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Mustangs rock so do the Cure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I honestly haven't listened to this band in well over a decade, since Wish was released anyways. Still a decent band though, I prefer their more obscure earlier sound, from the late 70's & early 80's, such as Killing an Arab & Boys Don't Cry. My personal favorite is "Love Song", even the 311 version has it's touch, others disagree though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I remember back in early 80s, Robert Smith had his own band, Cure, but he also played guitar with Siouxsie and the Banshees. He could hardly go on tours having two jobs at the same time! By then his music was dark and curious. I like his songs now, and the acoustic versions are fine too.

TheCyberdemon Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Personally, I'd be more embarassed about driving around a Mustang, especially a GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXX Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 It's all about the Karmann Ghia :: Anyway. The latest album didn't sound that great to me, but I've been spoiled by albums like Pornography, Disintegration, and Curiosities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 And don't forget Kiss Me Staring At The Sea is one of the best greatest hits ever, so if you're not sure about them, I command you get it now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Totally. That and a cassette of live songs, Curiosities, were the first works I owned by them. I was hooked from then on. The new stuff pales in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Including, or excluding the fact that they break down every 10 feet? Are you sure you're not thinking of the British malfunctioning epitome: The Jaguar. A mechanic I used to know said that if you are naive enough to buy one of these, you need to buy another car while you're at it, for the 364 days a year that your "Jag" is in the shop.

Agreed that Jaguars are lemons. I'd still love to own an Austin Healey, a Triumph, or an MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still love to own an Austin Healey, a Triumph, or an MG I have first-hand experience with an MG, when I was younger my step father owned a '59 MGA & I was allowed to drive it around despite being a serious collector car. I thought it ran great for being an primeval car, but I don't know if it would be my first pick, due the some slight handling & suspension adjustments.

TheCyberdemon Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 No, it's an undeniable fact, that all mustangs after the 60s have sucked, royal amounts of clam chowder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 What happened in the 80's? Mustangs looked like Japanese compacts. I'm not a fan of sports cars, but any Corvette from any year is gonna look bad-ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Only high-end cars survived the 80s. Everything else was an econobox with wheels. I've seen people drive ol' Porsche 928s at the University and it makes me chuckle 'cause I could probably get one too just to say I drive a Porsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 The 80's Mustangs were pretty bad for a sports car, but I wouldn't of minded owning one then. The engine ran perfectly fine, it's just the sleek design wasn't all there. There were much worse cars introduced, say does anybody remember the Gremlin or the Colt? The 85 edition was probably the worst ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Haha. Like the Yugo and the Fiat The Iroc-Z was pretty cool for an 80s sports car :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 How about the Yugo? You don't even see those around anymore, and that wasn't too long ago. I've only seen a Gremlin on the Simpsons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 hehe since we are talking about Yugos, I learned to drive stick on one of those, driving a very narrow road with all kinds of curves and should I add, it was going up a very steep hill. Oh, I was half-drunk too. aaahhhhhh the 90s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Haha. Like the Yugo and the Fiat My cousin had an '87 Fiat that he bought back then, we rode around in it, & he thought he was top s**t because of his car. It was obvious that it was going to give him several maintenance problems, he kept it for about 3 years, and after having it fixed many times, he had to settle on a Mazda Hatchback, which wasn't much of an improvement.

It's a Citroen CX. It's a very old car. Definitely from the 60s or 70s, I'm not sure :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
