    How about Clydesdales?
    Icelandics are known as hard workers, you know. Or you could try to impress the ladies and fix youself a couple of arabs.

      My first car was an 87 Hyundai Excel POS. Despite Upnorth's statement, this car did not become a part of me.

        1970 Chevy Impala. Was my great grandmothers but she drove it like 50 miles/yr and when she couldn't drive anymore she sold it to me for $1. Thing burned oil like a MF'er. Kept a case of oil in the trunk as when I'd drive the 40 miles to Milwaukee, it would have gone through a quart of oil.

        All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

          My first car was a 2000 Mustang V6 Automatic, Hunter Green. I miss that car.
          A few years later I fixed up a 1969 Chevelle. I put a 454 big block in it. I repainted it. It was red with black racing stripes and had black interior. I sold it last year when we had our first child.

            That just means you didn't crash it right. I learned to drive on a 1987 Camaro Berlinetta5458849912_45745a84ca.jpg that exploded, but my first car was a 1964 Beetle. I got it and then the front half of the engine blew, and then the back half blew and left me stranded on the freeway, and then I sold it and the U joint went a week later.

                First car was a white Datsun B-210 (similar to this one) that I got after I graduated from high school. Unfortunately, the struts/front suspension didn't last and it wasn't safe to drive. ABSOLUTE BLAST to drive for a small car.

                  Audi Fox.....had the same problem with front struts. Almost killed off half the Roark brothers and cousins one night driving home from Judges/RCs. Next day struts went and rammed into curb because couldn't control steering. Night before flying up I-43 at 2 am with a car full of people.

                  After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

                    1983 Toyota 4x4 Pick-Up.

                    Griffith Custom Conversion (pre-Forerunner days).

                    Rolled and totalled in a blizzard outside of Laramie, Wyoming when rushing home from a rock-climbing road-trip to see my GF.

                    *sigh*

                      So that's why I never took up rock climbing.
