Thunderbird truisms

Re: Thunderbird truisms

My T Bird is the first car I handwashed since my 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury when it was new.

It's a wonderful, beautiful, unique, comfortable, and very fun car; but as good as it is, the events and friendships it has made possible are even better!

Re: Thunderbird truisms

My Bird is such a lovely sight
I often pet it with delight
But soon begins a nasty fight

My wife, observing, starts to swear
'Cause when she sees my passion flare
She's jealous more than she can bear

I say, "Now, dear, you know what's true;
I do not love it more than you!"
She listens not, but bids adieu.

So then my guilt will start to swell
I'll sell the Bird so tempers quell
But wait! Instead, I shall this tell:

"My sweet, you bring my heart such joy
But men, you know, must have a toy
I've dreamt of this since I was boy!

Now, I'll ignore my Bronze '05
Just to keep our love alive
I'll think of you when next I drive."

That seemed to put the fight to rest
But do you know what I love best?
To put those mufflers to the test!

So wife is glad, at least for now,
That humbly I have shown her how
Above all else, to her I bow.

But deep inside, it still is true
This one great thing I long to do:
Drive my Bird off into the blue.

You know you're a thunderbird nut when your wife threatens divorce using T-bird infatuation as leagal grounds. (just kidding of course) Married 33 years (same patient woman).

not so off base about that, Jim. A member here did get that threat from his wife so he sold his car, but she still divorced him.

We love Birds and we hate poop on them, yet it's birds that poop on them...

Sorry Dot..sometimes I can not even follow myself....

Hey Frits,

Like they say, just be thankful that cows don'y fly!

Re: Thunderbird truisms

Hey George, I love your poem!! It is hard to have two loves without one getting a bit jealous. I think my wife enjoys the bird as much as I do.
We just went out for a nice evening cruise when I stopped at home depot for a hose nozzle. When I came out, a couple of people on their way to their cars stopped in front of my bird to ask what year it was and said" what a beautiful car". It is hard to be humble when you drive an 02 Thunderbird blue! That is the best T-Bird colour right Julie??
I show the retro calendar to many of our friends who are impressed with all the pictures and especially the nice cover shot!!!! It's really hard to be humble when you drive a T-Bird. Did I mention (Thunderbird Blue).
Take care and have a great summer everyone!
Jim.

Re: Thunderbird truisms

OK, looks like we all share quite a few obsessions about our Birds -
- always look back when I park it
- always paranoid about where I park it
- can't help touching it when I walk by (that's a little weird, isn't it?)
- always makes me smile
- I smile more when I'm driving it
- just can't understand when everyone doesn't look at the car when I drive by
- hand wash and dust it a lot
- keep the front plate under the seat, just in case...
- yup, glad cows don't fly
- and sorry, but 985 of us know the PCR really is the best looking version of a very good looking bunch...

Re: Thunderbird truisms

Here's another couple of truisms...

- You're driving behind (or in front) of another bird and you can't help but pretend that you're in a parade! LOL!

- You see another bird on the road and the first thing that pops into your mind is, "I WANT ONE!" and then you get excited when you realize that you have one.
