Piston Slap: The Looooooong Cult of Panther Love?

Archangel of the Panther Platform –

A nice looking 2005 LWB Lincoln Town Car with only 107,000mi popped up for sale at a nearby dealer with a what-I-hope-to-be-optimistic $8,000 asking price. As any follower of the good book of fat Panther Love(tm), I keep my eye out for a good one on the local boards.

I took a new position a while back that has me commuting about 65mi a day – about 90% interstate. Going from my comfortable, competent Accord to the extremely comfortable TC would cost me about $10/week in increased fuel costs if I exclusively used the TC (which I wouldn’t do).

  • Bd2 In honor of our lost indigenous people, when you are considering your next automotive selection , not only are eATPs and SACDs to be considered with the utmost urgency, consider the exigency of the automaker's treatment of indigenous people. Toyota is, as I'm sure you are aware, Japanese. Japan has a long history of human rights abuses throughout the islands it now occupies. Even nazis condemn Japan's human rights record in China. Why you ask? It is becaue Japan is a godless society. Now, would you not prefer to purchase from a company with a sterling and platinum reputation in the space of human rights? We thought so. Please consider Hyundai, Kia and Genesis of South Korea. The country with the best human rights record is joined with an incredible selection of curated eATPs. Please visit your Hyundai Kia Genesis dealer today and experience the vehicles of God's Country: South Korea.
  • Aron9000 Always liked the 70's Nova better than the 1978 A body Malibu that effectively replaced them. The Novas felt a bit more substantial, not as tinny/floppy/rattly/cheap. And the rear windows rolled down on the 4 doors. And the two doors as well if you have a 1974 or older one. Also I dont think Chevy ever offered a 350 v8 on the downsized Malibu, a lame 305 was as good as it got.
