Dear Doctor Z:

You give me the green, running poopies. Your constant, sickeningly dry appearances on the tube are an irritant to the senses and would assail the intelligence of even the most base. Your starring in the same commercial as the "That Thang Got a Hemi-Guy" simply put me over the edge.

(P.S. Toyota: Stop with the cartoons.)


End of rant....back to work on the manifesto, lol.

What I don't understand is why anyone still watches those godless mind control boxes at all anymore. There's really nothing but garbage on. And anything that even closely resembles anything other than pure filth is just a cover ploy to get you to watch the advertising, which is generally pure filth.

Kill your television!

Without the tube, there'd be no Girls Gone Wild infomercials on before the kids get up. You couldn't watch the Roadrunner outsmart Wile E. Coyote (Super Genius) and his Acme products. Southern Fried Videos and Blue Collar Television would have nowhere to go...

Regarding the Discovery and History Channels, my children are home schooled and would miss some of the exotic locations documented.

I'd have nowhere to whip my son's butt at Play Station... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

CMonty,

We had a '76 Volare wagon (the Plymoth version of the Dodge Aspen) with that same faux wood panneling - the total "surf wagon" for me and my two brother growing up in So. Cal. We had to "wax" that thing with brown shoe polish to keep the wood-look contact paper from going white. My dad, for some unknown reason, ordered the thing new from the factory with a three speed manual with overdrive - the only large wagon I've ever seen with a row-yer-own tranny. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />

With that 360 and the way my dad hot rodded that wagon around - it ate a steady diet of one clutch every year. One of the first cuss words I ever heard out of my dad's mouth was while I was "helping" him drop that tranny for the umteenth time and it dropped off the jack and damn near crushed his arm (yeah, the mantra "saftey first" was something I learned later in life). I remember the first time I did a clutch job on a VW I was amazed that the clutch in that wagon was just slightly bigger than the VW clutch - unbelieveable!

That question your buddy posed ("Have you ever met anybody successful, that drove a Dodge?") still has me laughing. Everyone I know that has had a "Diamler-Chrysler" product has been disappointed by it (with the execptions being the Dodge Raider, the Cummins diesel trucks with manual trannys and any other vehicle which had either a Mitsu, or any other non-chryler motor).

Anyway, thanks for the memories. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Take care,

Jim
