Right make and model; clearly the wrong year.

clearly

Clearly? What you mean "clearly", Willis? Its not so damn clear to ME!

First correct ID of brand and model designation takes it.

Doesn't SAY I have to get the year right. Ye gads, man! Rich is breathing down my neck. I NEED this one to stay ahead of him!

Oh, alright. 1962 then, the only year the Edsel was offered in Primrose Fuschia......

Otto Puzzell · January 03, 2007, 12:35:40 PM

Don't worry, you satisfied the requirments to declared winner on this one.

However, '58 Edsels had ugly horse-collar "Olds sucking a Lemon" grill, which this car doesn't have, identifying it as a 1960 model.

And there were no '62 Edsels.

MG · January 03, 2007, 08:20:07 PM

I knew that!

WRONG counselor. Obviously you failed to see the news releases announcing my grand entry into the "Expert" Autopuzzler stratosphere with the absolutely on-target guess of the Mustang styling buck. Oh, the thrill of being above all the "common" people...the esteem...the....HEY, WHERE'S MY WALLET?!!

How has you life changed since being promoted to expert? Woman lusting after you? Police only issuing warnings, not tickets? Invitations to exclusive clubs? I only ask since I got none of those things. $:-\$

The weatherpeople around here have been totally fucked for months now....I wish I had their degree of accountability in my job....just to come on the air the next day and say "oops, I fucked up" and have no one call you on it because no one ever really expected you to be right anyway would be kind of a nice way to live professionally.....

If a trained psychologist were to examine this post from beginning to end, he (or she) would probably conclude the case is hopeless and move on to another website.
