Actually I am not a Ford fan and I consider Corvettes crumple cars. Mustangs really changed after the 70's dear.

First lets start off with the corvette comment... In no way do any american made cars stand up to the italians in sports car standards like the corvette does. They have mastered the small block in ways ferrari still can't understand. I do have to say that between the 80's and late 90's, they became grandpa cars, but before and after that, especially with the new model that hits 60 in 3 seconds. Thats just phenomenal with a small block V8. Plus the transmission they designed solely for the car is amazing!!

Ok, and for the mustang comment. They really have changed, and they got ugly. I do have to say the new one is nice. But I still wouldn't buy one.

But if you love Carrol Shelby, have you seen his concept for the new Cobra? Now thats a muscle car!!!!

I love indian food

Indian food is my favorite, also--especially lamb curry and shrimp curry. The spicier the better! I ate at a wonderful Indian restaurant in London back in the 70s. The service was incredible--best I've ever experienced.

The Vette is a muscle car, not a sports car. I also agree that it's a crumple car as well. Check out the new BMW M5 that has been "factory tuned" for a REAL sports car.

But hey, I grew up on Cortina GTs, Morgans, Lotus Europas and the like. My concept of a "sports car" is something nimble like a 57 t-bird. GM has never produced a real sports car.

No thanks. But when you're done with your heart, could I have it?

I have a tendency to buy books faster than I read them, and then go on long binges where it is my dominant activity.

I dunno, I don't view the vette as a muscle car. They introduced the stingray to perform against european sports cars, not american muscle cars. The GT 40 followed this same trend, while chevy put forth the camaro, pontiac - the gto, ford - the mustang, etc... WE also had the chargers, the gtx's etc... When I think of muscle, I think of big blocks, and hemi's, and stuff. Not corvettes. Corvette is a sports car, the viper and mustang and new gto are the only muscle cars in production today in my opinion.

My middle-name is Jamal which is the Persian word for beauty

Same as Arabic.

Let's see......ummmm....I have a bone-shaped scar on my knee. Not that clear anymore, but it looks like a cartoon bone.

 

[croak]

Oh, and I have tons of problems with my teeth. I can't remember how many times I had to see Mr. Yanker....wouldn't be able to eat for two hours, and I'd be starving. Now, I wear braces, because Mr. Milk Tooth never came out, and my other tooth kept pushing under it. No use. So it decided to lie down. Literally. It went sideways and gave up. Sooooooo, dentist chips off milk tooth, takes out other tooth, attaches it to my braces via a great metal wire which is constantly being changed (they always get me new models , and.......that's about it.

Am I even correct about it being Persian? Persian and Arabic words are both used often in Baha'i writings, and I am never sure which is which. I think my mother told me Jamal is Persian, but she may have been confused also.
