In the last years of the 18th century Mr. Carl Benz drove the first, very simple, automobile in the town of Mannheim, Germany. A big improvement was made when Henry Ford developed the production line in the twenties of this century. At these times the automobile wasn't for everybody and still isn't in a lot of countries today.

In Europe the thirties brought the Volkswagen Bug as a byproduct of the war. This great car was designed by the old Porsche guy, still an awesome name in the automobile business. In the fifties the cars were getting bigger, more fancy and more stylish.

But the golden achievement of automobile design was reached in the seventies and yes, again it's the name 'Ford' that shines brighter than a shooting star in a full moon night, when the Ford Company thought, designed and built a light blue Gran Torino.

It is the year 1975 when the most reasonable car ever made left the companies driveway. The styles changed, the model variety is nowadays bigger then ever, but in the last 21 years no manufacturer could build a car that blue, that thirsty, that huge, that comfortable and that beautiful as the Gran Torino.

The phenomenal back seat were used for more than one purpose, outrageous is the number of gas station owners who can afford to send their kids to Harvard, Yale or Berkeley due to all that money that they got from me and my fellow former Gran Torino owners. With its rear wheel drive and its incredible mass it's the perfect car for hard Colorado winter. The inaccurate power stirring as well as the automatic transmission adds even more winter quality. The strong air condition produces hot air only, a marvelous idea, considering how bad a serious cold in the summertime could be.

Oil changes are rare and not really necessary, the blue babe needs a quart of oil at every gas stop anyway, so the oil stays fresh and clean. All right, the blinker is not working, but hey, who needs it. With such a car it is understatement not to join all the other little cars and use these tiny little stupid blinkers. If you drive a Gran Torino people will see where you going, there is no need to show them before it actually happens.

In conclusion, there has never been a greater car and it's more than questionable that there ever will be one. It's just impossible.
