I actually owned one, and yes the starrion was a POS...
Something of real commical intrest, is that I also owned a Nissan Bluebird which is the US MAxima. What is comical is that I was forever harrassed about listening to music and the one liner from IRon Eagle that had came out around that time "This is the BlueBird..I be ready to refuel" The Bluebird became our unofficial squadron brews-brothel-recreational vehicle. I got so sick ove everyone wanting to drive the bluebird becasue of its iconic status (hell we even had visiting squadrons getting in on it. That i left sets of keys everywhere. On my desk, in survival shop, several in the car, and even one wiretied to the Antennae, and if you were creative enough you could fold it over into the car and actualy start the car, and let the antennae slingshot back.
That car was serious hamburger, it began a tradition of of the most heinous acts of car theft. Many times dudes would take the car to the PX only to come out with several cases of beer and the car was gone.... take a nice trip to Naha, and one of the jarheads would get in on it...be found a week later at Futenma, which required us to midnight requisition it back.
The car was pretty tattered and the JP's were very lax on vehicle safety conditions.. the car came equipped with, a Bungied passenger door, Wiretied Bumper , no dash, Ripped Seats ( passenger side didnt even have springs but a shell, so one yahoo one day used the emergency bumper kit found with a spool of wire on the stickshift brought a set of lineman pliers and wire tied in a metal office chair. some time later the Typhoon hit, and yes my turtle with the tattered shell had the sunroof ripped clean off. But that wasnt going to keep us down! We now had a Navigator position installed, and General Heckler to the fine ladies of the japanese populace....Lots of JP schoolgirls got borke into US Slang...
I really miss the fun we had with that Eyesore of American debauchery.
"RickUSN-
That was intelligent and useful Mudd.
But it certainly is what Ive come to expect.
Mindless babbling with no intent to either enlighten or inform.
