Thunderbird

They say those Thunderbirds had sluggish sales due to cost, but damn, they are nice rides.

And at least they weren't a $20,000,000 loss.
No serious injuries to the pilot. The barn it eventully hit didn't fare too well.

That bulky sweater does not do her justice.

Boy, did I ever show my age. Kinda surprised Dean didn't know who she is...the youngsters here, I forgive. Paul Anka wrote a song about her. He had a crush too, but she was a bit older than him, and already famous.
