Sad to see this happen.... Reminds me of the Lark in New York where the owner was taken out in the bombing "hit".

Anybody can drive a truck, it takes a real man to enjoy a four door six.

Please note that my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek when I made my original comments.

Personally, I would prefer a 4 door sedan over a 2 door sedan any day![^]

You're getting yourself in deeper Mark.

That taxi looked brand new. I wonder how many days it had been in service.

That was an early production car that was also among the fleet that was delivered to the Yellow cab co in Atlanta - ALL sixes that had a constant problem with overheating/water pumps.

Yes, I'd say that car has a problem with overheating.

Doubt if it has much to do with a water pump though....
