Radiator.
Tires.
Battery.
Heater core.
The usual things any vehicle thirty and over would need eventually.
For a four door Catalina, she moves pretty quickly.
The interior is just the right size for any big person.
The bench seats are like sitting on your living room couch, soft, yet supportive.
And everything is within easy reach of both driver and passenger.
What is it with this "urban assault vehicle" crap?
Seems like every dolt driving some big old rear wheel drive Detroit clunker from the 70's or early '80's feels compelled to describe it with this ridiculous term.
What is it they intend to "assault" anyway?
Other driver's eyeballs with their extraordinary ugliness?
It assaults his/her wallet at the gas station, and it also assaults the environment with it's emissions.
The term "Urban Assault Vehicle" comes from the the movie "Stripes" with Bill Murray. It referred to a converted GMC motor home used as an "Urban Assault Vehicle" used by the Army in communist eastern Europe. This was fictional, of course.
I see someone understood the joke. As for others who didn't get it, oh well, maybe next time. As for you who think that the vehicle that your driving is better, think again. You wouldn't survive a collision with a so-called '70's clunker, unlike the driver of that '70's piece of Detroit Iron would. And if you know how to take care of your vehicle,
you won't get assaulted at the gas station either, lol.
