[DeTomaso] Ring Bros Pantera photos

[Jeff Cobb]

That car is ugly.
Lady Ga Ga must have done the interior during a full moon and if beauty was in the eye of the beholder then that body designer was blind.
Lip stick never cures ugly.

I had a friend, on the other hand, who didn't think she was that pretty. That was 36 years ago and he and I are still friends because these things always work out--I was right back then, and yet today his opinion turns out to be right...!
