"Got to hand it to the Germans, they make great cars" What was said when they drove off in the Mercedes military vehicle that was on fire. One of my favorite movies, since the 4th grade.

The fed may have made them add 5 mph bumpers but they didn't make Ford claim "that the Pinto was better due to its greater road hugging weight". No, Ford came up with that all by themselves and expected you to buy it!

Thankfully I wasn't born in time to "enjoy" the 70's.

I would have like to get in on some of that 60's action though...
