40+ years ago, a guy who owned an Alpine & a Tiger told me about Sunbeam's learning curve when they hit the tracks with their first V-8 cars:

• steering shaft snaked around shock tower like this __/¯¯\_ w/ 4 u-joints
• on long-track straights, exhaust heat cooked grease out of 2 u-joints
• at the end of the straights, steering was frozen straight
• outside wall was on the lunch menu

That's a fail. Put a powerful engine in the bed, so it can't haul anything and it's too small to tow anything. And, once it gets rear-ended, it's not going anywhere.

Straw hat pizza, much more better.

Or at least that's the way 10 year old me remembers it.

Straw hat? I don't get the reference.


Anyone else remember when take out Pizza Hut pizzas were in paper pyramids?

 

[Stix]

I have a straw hat local to me. It’s VERY meh. Not like it was in the 80’s. Round table is still about the best of the major chains but **** me it spendy. Med pizza, 2 salads half order of breadsticks.......like 75 bux

Back in the day it was. I tried the one that opened up again on the West side of ABQ a few years ago and it was meh. I was disappointed.

Also good, very similar to vintage straw hat. It's only been maybe 20 years since I've had round table.

It was a pizza restaurant chain. unsure if any still exist
