Imperial

An underated car made by Chrysler Co. First appeared in the 20's. In the late 50's, it was sold as it's own model to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln. It failed though, due to obvious reasons. There was no seperate "Imperial" dealership. Imperials were sold in Chrysler dealerships, and customers thought of them as a higher priced Chrysler with a different badge. Poor quality was another factor, as they had rust and mechanical problems. By 1964, the Imperial ditched it's outdated rust prone 50's style for the nicer boxy look similar to the Lincoln Continental. This body style was used in the 2011 movie "The Green Hornet". 1964-1968 were probably the best years for the make. 1969-1973 models were quite impressive looking too, with huge grills, and a sleek fuselage bodystyle. 1974 introduced an even bigger body style that came out at the wrong time. With the gas crisis in full swing, Chrysler decided not to waste anymore time on an already failing marque. So the last Imperial was made in 1975.

Several attempts to resurect the name have happened, what with the 1981-1983 bustle back coupe that nobody liked. And the 1990-1993 boring small 4 door sedan that looked like all other Chrysler cars at the time.
Max: I just saw "The Green Hornet" at the movie theatre. Dude....that black car was fuckin' awesome. What was it, a Lincoln??
Pat: It was a 1964 Imperial Crown. The Black Beauty...One bad ass ride!

chevy chevette

A small boring 4 cylinder car made by Chevy from 1976-1987. This was the car for the ultimate cheapskate. It was meant to replace the Vega in the small car line up, but was still just as crappy. Mid 70's models included a "woodie" version with fake wood trim usually seen on stationwagons. And there was also a bare bones "scooter" version which didn't even have a backseat or a glove compartment. In 1979 the Chevette was given a minor face lift with square head lights, and it stayed the same until 1987 when it was replaced by the badge-engineered "Geo" brand of General Motors.
Kid1: I bet my little red wagon could go faster then then that crappy Chevy Chevette!!
Kid2: LMAO, I bet!! Even my Moms Pacer looks better then that crap box!!

oldsmobile ninety eight

Introduced in 1941, the Ninety-Eight was Oldsmobiles top of the line model and was a very stylish rear wheel drive land yacht up until the early 80's.

The fuel crisis pretty much doomed the Ninety-Eigh, and all large sedanst. Experimenting with Diesel engines proved problematic in the early 80's, so sales suffered. So in 1985 it was downsized to a front wheel drive generic design that looked like every other GM car at that time. 1991's bloated round restyle proved unpopular too and the model was axed in 1996, to be replaced by the Aurora.
You can probably find a 50's/60's/70's era Oldsmobile Ninety Eight on ebay for a good price. Many were driven by senior citizens when new, and were looked after.

Nonantum mills

A large suburban wasteland neighborhood in Newark, DE that was built in the 90's.

Named after an old mill that used to be in the area.

The houses are nice looking, but the people are among some of the worst ever. Don't ever move there.
Nonantum mills might seem like the perfect place to raise a family. But you will make enemies fast as theres lots of meanie moms and spoiled bratty kids.

Newbury Comics

A chain DVD/CD store, where you can never find what you're looking for. They are located in alot of Malls, and usually charge an arm and a leg for crap that's worth about 3 bucks on amazon.com. They tend to cater to the younger generation so most CD's and movies are "new" stupid tween crap. They also sell useless novelty items and used Movies/CD's that stop working after awhile. To sum it up perfectly, this place sucks.
Manny: Yo dudes, I went to Newbury Comics looking for several Metal albums, but all I saw was Justin Bieber shit, and a bunch of Crap!! Wtf is that all about?
Bruce: That store is a rip off. I was looking at Judas Priest albums there that costed 15 bucks!!! So I ordered it online and got it much cheaper.
Jake: Whatever ya'll do, don't buy there cheap used shit. I was watchin' a DVD last night that just stopped working.

Bigot

A person who's intolerant towards certain types of people, whether it's race, culture, religion, etc. In the late 20th century it became taboo to be a bigot and it's something alot of people keep to themselves now. But to me it's not such a big deal and I don't see what's so bad about it. Certain types of people make people think of them in a pessimistic way.
I'll admit that I'm a Bigot. I have never gotten along well with Blacks, Hispanics, and especially Wiggers. I just disagree with their entire way of life.

Towncar

A large RWD car made by Lincoln. Shares the same platform with the Ford Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis.

It was an upscale trim package on Continentals in the 70's. Then it became it's own model in 1981 on a downsized bodystyle known as the "panther" platform. It lost it's boxy design in 1990, and again in 1998, making the body more aero looking each time. Towncars went on to be a stereotypical senior citizen mobile, gangster mobile, and also an extremely popular livery car for the rest of it's life. By the 2000's, it was the biggest car in production and large luxury cars had completly lost popularity. The majority went to Livery companies, and the Town Car and panther platform in general were phased out in 2011.
Dan: Your grandfathers 80's Towncar sure is cool looking.
Mike: That things an old school beast, but he doesn't drive much. He's 85 years old.
