No, I did that back in the 70s when I had a big @$$ Dodge Maxivan.Like this(not mine):
Don't make me come in here again. Durn kids!
The good news is, you’re always welcome here.
And even more so if you have a Tbird (bass).

We need to remind recent participants here of the difference between 'straying from topic' to going 'off-road' from our topic.., which as always, is...
Devo always had an interesting take on their covers. Love it or hate it, they always made the song their own.
And only 1100 posts behind...
The good news is, you’re always welcome here.
Thank you, but the closest I can come is that I used to work for somebody who had a T-Bird (car). Actually it was his wife's car, and you should have seen the panic on his face when it started to rain one day
They are if there’s a body in them.

^^^ that I could understand, but this was the modern version. I mean, not something you saw every day even then, but hardly precious.
I don’t recall the Eppi Tbird limited edition having chrome pups and rings. Am I mistaken…

That's one version they did offer, those are guitar pickups. IIRC they did these in silverburst as well

oh yah - jeese-louise, I can't use the "U" word here (especially to a mod
) but the new version of the T-bird was/is.., aesthetically challenged... 
as in... what were they thinking?
Ok, I thought those had black plastic trim rings. Guess I’m miss remembering.
Apparently, dogs aren’t into White Bird Wednesdays.
CAFE standards?oh yah - jeese-louise, I can't use the "U" word here (especially to a mod

I was ok with the new styling, assuming they had to meet crash protection guidelines and air drag goals, but they lost me (just like the Plymouth prowler team did) when they dropped a lame engine in it.oh yah - jeese-louise, I can't use the "U" word here (especially to a mod

The born again Tbird was supposed to be a nod to the Gen 1 era, which had decent performance in its day. Instead of the retro nod, it looks like the design team nodded off during the engine spec discussion and the bean counters took over. Shame really. They could have had a real winner with a Ford 5.0 Coyote engine under the hood. And a Prowler with a Dodge Hemi under the hood would have caught a lot of attention as well.
Kinda like the latest Gibson NR release that tries so hard to be like the original in many ways, and completely misses the target in others. Three point bridge? Come on man! Even Eppi got that right.
Here’s an Epi I’d love to try.
The Elitist series.

(Rolling eyes) Oh I see, lookin out for number one, it’s always all about you Mike.?…..I'm not certain they still make them, but I've got mine so I don't check anymore.
