Well, at least she saw it first. She could have started the engine while it was under the hood. ---

Yes, equally useful and luxurious, and don’t forget the vinyl padded shift knob ---

Hey, it’s the Cadillac Cimarron of Ford Land. Well, maybe the Olds Firenza analog. Either way, the faint praise the Bobcat deserves. ---

My brother owned a Pinto, I had a Bobcat and my mom had a Maverick. The Bobcat was essentially the same as the Pinto with a different hood, grill and interior. The Pinto rusted into oblivion but the Bobcat served me well for around 12 years and was a decent shape when I got rid of it. ---

She should consider herself lucky mama did not show up and tear into her. About 15 years ago 3 phone company people working here were laying some underground cable near a clump of hedges and a bobcat charged out and attacked one of the guys. Clawed him up a bit before the other 2 managed to run the cat off. It’s believed from various sounds that there were a few kittens concealed in the shrubs and mom took offense to people and equipment getting that close. ---
