I was hoping for pics of a working Fred Flintstone car

So, a corral of Mavericks.

None of which will actually turn over.

I've been to those caves. There are a lot more things going on besides the storage of cars. There are furniture warehouses there because of the ability to maintain temperature and humidity. I was there to help my brother tear down and ship a tire testing machine to another location for a major manufacturer of tires.

I don't think those are still there, I think it's a picture from way in the past when they were new, just showing that Ford has been using it for a very long time.

One of my brothers owned a Maverick, he claimed it was the worst car he ever had and over the years he owned a lot of clunkers.

My dad owned two Mavericks, a 72 and then a 75. I drove the latter to school. Meanwhile, Mom drove a 72 VW Beetle, a 77 Corolla (that I totaled in a head-on with a landyacht) and then a 79 Corolla in those years.

The German word for contraceptive is “Schwangerschaftsverhütungsmittel”. By the time you finished saying that, it’s too late

I'd dispute my brothers assessment of the Maverick since at one point in my reckless car strewn youth, I owned a Rambler American. While you were demolishing the Corolla, I was tooling around town in my 74 Karmann Ghia which I ended up a total as well.

So, a corral of Mavericks.


I see what you did there, lol.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Just out of curiosity, were you a Oceanography Grad student in the mid 1970s?

As a point of comparison, was it worse than the Falcon it essentially replaced or the the Fairmont that replaced it? My Granny had a Fairmont when I was a child, it seemed nice enough from the back seat.

The only 70s Maverick I see now are Hot rod versions that were worth keep and keeping up by the owners.
