-----------------
Don't, Don't Don't believe, Don't believe the hype.

All,
once again to clarify my little game....

U.S. coasters only, so no Explorer, Odyssey, or Hornet, etc.

Full name match only, so no Jack RABBIT for VW RABBIT, or SKYLINER for Ford Galaxie SKYLINER.

Magnum Force,

I didn't consider Tornado (weather phenomenon) for the Olds Toronado, which was named after a European city (Spain, I think)

Nice work! I forgot about the old Ford Starliners and the Oldsmobile JetStar.

There are still a few left (six to be exact)! Keep trying!

Later,
EV

I've got two. Well, it depends if spelling counts on one.
1) Typhoon (Santa's Village, IL); Typhoon (GMC)
2) Cyclone (AstroLand et al.); Syclone (GMC)
You can see the GMC autos @ http://www.syty.org/ lata,

EDIT: Of course if we added motorcycles, I'd say the Kawasaki Ninja and about 3 coasters of the same moniker

EDIT2: Fixed the link

Besides, if we were really shutting down people we disagreed with, would Jeremy (2Hostyl) still be around? I think not. - Jeff 1/24/02*** This post was edited by 2Hostyl on 3/1/2002. ***

Echo Victor fod had a Ford Skyliner not a Galaxie starliner as well as a Galaxie Skyliner in the 1950's and 60's, look it up, it was the Hardtop Convertible. Dodge Stealth is another can't belive I didn't think of it. I don't suppose Boss would count. Zephyr is another that does work.

Does CCI know how to make a bad coaster?

the boss was a car produced by Ford during the muscle car era of the 70's.and the the thing for wild thing was a Volkswagon predesessor to the jeep.do not mess with the car god. me.

The Boss was not the name of a car, it was a kind of Mustang, like a Mustang GT today. As for Wild THing being a VW, you are wrong, that was The Thing not the Wild Thing.
