What a great story Jorv.. Thanks for sharing.. It's wonderful that you had the resources to thank you Dad in that way.. Your dad did a fine job of raising his son..
Doug seems to be bias ,for mustangs and anti thunderbird,I feel the same way about mustangs,but I love my Thunderbird,and Im not 70 years oldMost of you won't find much to agree with in Doug's assessment of our cars. Doug makes some valid points, but he grossly underestimates the beautiful lines of the car, and the cool factor.
not only that but all the negative posts he gets from people that know better also fuel his popularity. and worse at the same time he slightly controls the emotions of good people on sites like this one.....It's time to let it go.Doug has made a career of posting videos like this one. He makes money by getting people talking about his reviews and clicking the watch button. I think he's done a very good job at that seeing that at the current time he's got over 800k views with this video in only one week since posting. He's not my cup of tea for car reviewers, but he certainly has found a way to make a good living doing something that mostly looks like fun.
And if he tongue bathed the car would you say he is great? I've watched most of his videos and I wouldn't call him names because I disagree with his opinion.The guy knows nothing !
What a schmuck !!!!!!!

Is schmuck a name, or a descriptor? Me thinks it a valid description.And if he tongue bathed the car would you say he is great? I've watched most of his videos and I wouldn't call him names because I disagree with his opinion.
In 2002 when the Retrobirds came out, my wife and I were just out of college, still dating, months away from being engaged. She needed a new car, because her little old Honda was starting to show its miles. Everyday for work, she drove past a ford dealership with a metallic thunderbird blue one on a pedestal. I went with her to test drive it. Of course neither of us could it afford it, and it wasn’t the least bit practical. But she fell in love with it. I wished I could by it for her.
But she settled on a practical, cheap, VW Jetta that turned out to be a POS. And for the next 15 some odd years drove a work car, or mini vans hauling kids, spotting tbirds from time to time, and pointing them out. For the last 10 years she has always had a nice new mini vans, but stayed in love with the retrobirds.
This past mother’s day we were having lunch at her parents, where I had happened to stash an ‘03 Tbird with a custom teal paint job, 80k miles, with her name on the title in the garage. Grandma was so excited she kinda blew the surprise a bit, but it was a glorious memory that I’ll always cherish. Cheapest car I ever bought at $10k, by far the most fun and exciting. We still have a van for the whole crew, but now everybody fights to be able to ride shotgun in moms tbird. The chrome on the door handles are peeled, the brakes where in need of a job, I’d like to replace the whole suspension (and probably will), and the soft top is starting to come apart. I’ve already put $5k into the thing. But it’s everybody’s favorite, including myself. Sorry this critic missed out on the fun/cool factor with the retro birds. His loss.
