MARCH MOPAR MADNESS SALE
Reader Raffioli is selling a beautiful Holley-equipped Chrysler slant-six engine – attached to an actual Chrysler Valiant! The whole deal is going extra cheap because a hippie used to live in it. Bid NOW!

I had a girlfriend a few years ago that had an Valiant. She loved the silly old thing: parts for it were cheap and the car was so simple even she could work on it.

Preview is my friend.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2005 03 27 at 02:13 PM • permalinkThe link redirector is just broken. It strips of everything after the first & which of course screws everything up.
Obviously it simply takes the URL parameter of the GET request and doesn’t bother checking to see if maybe the target URL actually contains parameters itself. It doesn’t seem to bother actually escaping special characters such as &, =, and ; that mean something in the query path of the URL when generating the link in the first place.
I suggest that part of the code was written by an idiot who doesn’t understand the simple workings of HTTP and didn’t bother reading up on it before hacking up some crappy code. That doen’t bode well for the rest of the code especially from a security perspective. And they have the balls to charge money for this garbage?
I’m also pissed about the redirect thing. I have to go into to any entry that has these sort of urls and handcode the settings with things like
&to make it recognize the “&” symbols… I’m surprised that Expression Engine does this, and I can’t seem to find a satisfactory fix on their support forums.

Oh man, Chrysler must have loved that moniker. Does it apply to all Valiants, or just station wagons?
Posted by Bruce Rheinstein on 2005 03 28 at 12:36 AM • permalinkalan, do you have some sort of problem?
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2005 03 28 at 01:03 AM • permalinkthat raffioli! wow! he tried to shove it to ‘the man’ (ebay) by subverting the dominant capitalist paradigm but like, it backfired and now the fa$ci$t$ have forced him to like put the wagon out on the street with a 4 $ale on it. now he’$ part of the ‘running pig dog capitalist $y$tem’! that$ heavy.

I think it applied to all Valiants back in the 70s, the term was more derisory than affectionate. Migrants tended to flock to the Valiant, rather than the eqivalent Ford or (GM) Holden car. Funny thing is, I think the Valiant was a better car. They tend to be more collectable. I’ve had some involvement with Valiants but never owned one. My neighbour sold his AP6 at Christmas, the car had been in his family since new, I think from about 1965. My late grandfather also went and bought a metallic purple Charger 770 in about 1975 with his young grandson’s strong advice (me). The family thought he was crazy, I thought he was cool.
StevoAny old Chrysler motor is a safe bet (I say that as a devout Chevy man myself).
One of my highschool buddies, in the mid-eighties, had a parent provided 1972 Plymouth Satellite with the 318 cube engine.
He truly beat the hell of that car, in the form of drag racing, Batman turns, curb jumping and “spinning shittys” on frozen lake surfaces.
Due to lack of funds, he let the oil level run down until that poor motor squeeled in protest. His fix involved turning up the tinny AM radio to mask the pleads for lubrication until the arrival of his next meager paycheck.
Another friend had a 1973 Cuda, with the 440 6-pack (6 barrel carb.) It wasnt super fast off the line but once you passed twenty miles an hour…oh jebus, hang on.
It could pass anything but a gas station.
Good times.
Hanyu - bwhahahahahahhahahaha!
That’s humour!
