Atlas Shrugged is a great book. Ayn's only real failing, in my view, was her lack of belief in the Creator. My favorite Ayn Rand story was told years ago by William F. Buckley Jr. As Buckley tells the story, Ayn said to Buckley: "Mr. Buckley, you're much too intelligent to believe in God."...

Your listing of the Sail America as a Dealership package (in your Wikipedia post above) is not correct. The Sail America was a factory offering in 1987. I just sold (yesterday) a 33K mile Sail America; it had the original window sticker, printed by Ford, with "Sail America Commemorative...

Fair enough, but not really relevant to the points I was making; which were: 1. To respond to deVille's assertion that Fox News was aiding terrorists. If we accept that premise, the blame still lies with the Sunday Times, which is an independent editorial entity from Fox News, regardless of...

FYI for deVille and evilally: Fox News is not to blame for this story, they just picked up an existing story from the wire. The story originated with the Sunday Times in London. Fox is owned by News Corp. The majority shareholder is Rupert Murdoch, an Australian. Voting control lies...

I'm jealous too. Guess I should have thrown caution to the wind and driven across that bridge in the dark (watch for an old guy in a huge ancient Lincoln :eek:) ; as even though we have mutual acquaintances (stemming from her law school days) I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Ann in person.

Yes, I'd like a report as well. I wanted to attend, since Ann and I have mutual friends, but being an old geezer, I no longer trust myself to herd a 30 year old Lincoln back across the bridge to St. Petersburg in the dark. I'd have my 27 year old girlfriend drive me, but she's home...

The speedometer style you're describing, usually called a ribbon speedometer, was used on all the "regular" (non-Mark) Lincolns from 1966 through 1977. The "rim-blow" steering wheel was used on both regular Lincolns and Marks 1970 through 1974. It was available as an option on some Fords and...

The 390 was available on the 1969 Monterey, and I thought it was in the base Marquis as well, but not the Marquis Brougham. The Marauder rims were made by Kelsey-Hayes, but I don't recall what metal they're made of. There is a Mercury Marauder club which would likely have that information...

The 1969 Marquis is a very attractive car. The front end styling was derived from a rejected proposal for the 1966 Lincoln. If the car has alloy wheels, they are not original. It came with three styles of wheel covers. However, I have seen a few fitted with the rally wheels that came on the...

So? You've yet to understand as a concept what bad leadership is. I'm outraged at the conduct of the Left in this country. No, but safety and prosperity at home does. And in the United States, being poor, homeless, and lacking in health care is self-inflicted. I guess this is...

Unless it has a lot of miles, the repair should cost absolutely nothing at a Jaguar dealer, as a 2004 should still be under the new car warranty. I recall the warranty even covers wear items like brakes...in fact, I even got a new set of floor mats under the new car warranty on my 1998, when I...

On my 1998 Jaguar XJ8, it was the failure of the seal on the wheel bearings.

Gee...I wasn't going to allow myself to be sucked back into this forum, but since you insist... I am amazed you were able to grab my quote in the 60 seconds it was up, by accident, before I deleted it. Once in awhile when I read something that really disgusts me, as many of your posts do, I...

In the 1970s, Motor Trend magazine used to run a feature road test called "King of the Hill" in which they pitted a new Lincoln Mark against that same year's Eldorado. Usually, the Lincoln won. I'm old enough to have driven 70s Lincolns and Cadillacs when they were new. There is no...

This is a classic example of how Ford has completely lost their way and is heading rapidly to oblivion. The Lincoln Town Car is one of the most recognized names in the auto business and elicits a positive impression of luxury and reliablility for people across all age ranges. So why has it...

FYI... The seat height is adjustable. The little round knob on the armrest you used to move the seat back and forth will move it up and down when you push it (the knob) sideways. If the steering wheel has the tilt feature, you push the turn signal lever toward the dash to tilt the wheel...

Sorry Phil, Fitzgerald found no such thing.... Valerie Plame: Was She, or Wasn’t She? Newly released documents don’t quite answer the question. They are some of the most basic questions of the CIA leak investigation: Was Valerie Plame a covert agent when her identity was revealed in a...

An utterly irrelevant reply. Ken Starr was a special prosecutor, not a Congressman. He was investigating criminal acts, not sex. Clinton committed perjury and suborned perjury, both felonies, in connection with attempting to deny the civil rights of a citizen of the United States. The...
