[Shotimes] OT - 2006 Mercury Milan

[Jason Hartberger]

Or the Tucker!

But seriously, yeah, the pinto, the edsel, and the vega went by the wayside
just because they were so absolutely shitty. The SHO was never shitty, it
just got screwed over by Ford. Although I'm sure there are small groups of
people who swear that the pinto was an awesome vehicle, too. ;)
