Talking Exploding Ford Pinto in a comedy movie.

I can't remember which one it was in, do you?

Car comes up behind at crazy slow speed and taps the Pinto...Ka-boom!

It took 9 minutes to get your answer.

That is a great movie.

That's pretty fast.
I knew it wouldn't take long.

I typed in 'exploding pinto movie' into Google and had it before my Pelican topic even posted...

Interesting experiment. Do will still ask people for answers or do we just search it out ourselves, now?

Remember going to the library and going into the card catalog for some book that may or may not have the answer or even be on the shelf?

I worked on a bunch of those cases. Back in the day. Fuel fire cases are high buck because the injuries can be extraordinarily awful.

I was driving this when I feel asleep and hit a telephone pole. I'm lucky I just got a broken jaw and a few other minor injuries. I couldn't even imagine getting all burnt up

Was it a Pinto wagon that the neonazis were driving in Blues Brothers?

Something, like : "I've always loved you".

I learned to drive a manual transmission in a pinto in 1979 when I was 16. A coworker who is into muscle cars calls my 911 a glorified pinto.

Looks very interesting to me! We love to watch the shows by Andy Yeatman because they are creative as well as family friendly. I must say that he has set the bar really high. The content along with the thoughtful plotting of characters is done flawlessly in his shows.
