What if you couldn't keep your car?

OK Hypothetically speaking .. If any of us had to move to another country for their job and you couldn't keep your T-bird/Cougar, What would you get ?

Pick a country and post the car.

Never gonna happen. I don't think Sears will open up down there, but if it was Australia.

Well, awhile back, I almost decided to go to Iraq, and seeing as how their....situation is what it is, I'd have been driving a truck, with a few
grunts for security.
No need for my Tbird over there. If I had a chance to go somewhere though, I'm with you, it'd be Australia, and one of those FPV Falcons...
But I still wouldn't give up my 'Bird! ;)

LSX, you already pinpointed mine. All those Falcon series cars are incredible. I'm so jealous of the cool cars they get over there.

I really wish Ford would import 'em here, like GM did with the Holden Monaro/GTO...but they porbably think that if they did, less people would buy the new Mustang, i guess..

I dunno, a ute with a beefy 4.6 doesn't exactly hold the same market that the Mustang does. It's something to hope for (I hadn't thought about the Holden --> GTO think) but don't expect it from the Ford people.

I think the problem with those cars is that they're built in Australia and the UAW isn't too keen on Ford importing Ford-branded cars from other countries...

For example, I read in the magazines that the number of GTO's that GM was allotted for a year was actually mandated by the UAW because that's all the more they would allow.

Volkswagen actually quit making the old beetle in mexico a few years ago, it was a big deal. I think the last one off the line got put in a museum or some such.

Very good one, Kyle. I'm sure there's nothing like (a couple years ago) buying a brand new 1979-style beetle. I've always loved old VWs too. Anyone know if they produced convertibles too?

OK, the Beetle I can see, but a Tempest?

I'ma gonna have to go with the Australian Falcon ute thing myself, but it would take something spectacular, more than a car, to make me ever want to move out of Canada. Is Australia looking for a new PM, by any chance? :D

If I was anywhere in Europe, I'd get a white econoline van. You know, the ones all over the british cop shows. It seems like if you drive one, you get a license to drive like an idiot. Over curbs, through intersections, and pushing cars, away I go.
