Default Wuhan flu time to kill

Just gave up an hour of my life I’ll never get back to do a vital 69 calculation that we all just needed to know...

69 Pontiacs were built with nine different overall lengths: F bodies at 191.1”, 2door A bodies at 201.5”, 4door A bodies at 205.5”, wagon A bodies at 211”, GP at 210.2”, Cats at 217.5”, executives at 223.5”, Bonnevilles at 224”, big wagons at 220.5”.

Multiply all this by respective production numbers and you get (if every car is touching bumper to bumper) 2,868 and a third miles. Coincidentally this is almost exactly the distance of the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash! The 69 pontiacs would actually make a long enough line to go from Manhattan NY to Redondo Beach California with about 20,000 cars to spare (which would get you a second line back to Riverside!)

My apologies! I forgot to add the extra half inch on the almost 13,000 69 Firebirds that were equipped with the 400 engine (they had that rubberized arrowhead on their front nose. Add another tenth of a mile to the previous number!

Thank goodness their weren’t any bumper guard options in 69 or I’d be up all night!

If you had two people of average height having sex in each one of those cars and you put them head-to-toe, how many miles would they stretch?

The sexual position they are in whilst being measured would significantly effect the overall head to toe length of each couple.

“Trailer hitches”? This is a sexual position I’m not aware of...

Yes, that's a Texas term I believe because they haul so much livestock with trailers. It's the coupling and uncoupling from behind, thus the "trailer hitch" position, and what is normally called hands & knees. LOL
