Panther 

A car platform introduced by the Ford Motor Company in the late 1970s. Notable features include a sturdy body-on-frame design, large trunk, roomy interior, and a long hood with enough room underneath for a powerful V8 or V10 engine. In 2004, the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis/Marauder, and Lincoln Towncar were all built on the Panther platform.

After GM killed off the Caprice in 1996, the Panthers became the last traditional American sedans.

Garbage Storms 

Freakish weather anomalies consisting of dust and rotting trash caught up in a wind vortex. Garbage storms are known to occur in Worcester, Massachusetts, as well as on Wal-Mart lots throughout the nation.

After being caught in a Garbage Storm, I was forced to return home immediately and shower.

Worcester 

A dumpy city in the middle of Massachusetts that was once a hub of industrial activity and commerce. Now it is the home of shifty characters, rotting three-deckers, and unique garbage storms. Anyone with the money to move out eventually does, unless they are an idiot.

A visitor to Worcester would be ill-advisted to walk down Main Street after dark, unless they are looking for a beating or third-rate prostitute with AIDS.
