There's no way to explain that gross gibberish away. Maybe she's an overgrown baby and thinks people will giggle when she says something shocking. It's time to awaken the ugly princess.
The Ford Falcon: Death-mobile Oct

by mikulpepper
“It was a death-mobile, the embodiment of terror. Whenever a Falcon drove by we knew there would be kidnappings, disappearance, torture, murder.”
Eduardo Pavlovsky
The Ford Falcon design team was led by Robert McNamara who wanted a new Model-T — a car that was inexpensive and reliable. In 1960, before he left for the Kennedy White House, McNamara saw his car in production. Two of the new cars were shipped to Argentina in 1961 as exemplars for local manufacture.
. . .
By 1973, the Argentinean Falcon was almost entirely made in that country, only 26 of more than 3000 parts had to be imported, and the car had undergone several design makeovers, distinguishing it from the US model. It is the best-selling car in Argentina’s history. But internal tensions were building in Argentina and, in 1976, military forces seized power.

“It’s not the Falcon’s fault. The police probably just needed a car that didn’t break down, so they got Falcons,” says Alejandro Hernandez. The regular police got Falcons painted in regular police black and white, but the secret police and the paramilitary organizations tended to prefer dark green vehicles. Soon, the sight of a green falcon was enough to frighten every Argentinean who saw it.
The paramilitary units had been operating for several years before the 1976 coup. They kidnapped, tortured, and murdered labor leaders, journalists, and anyone else deemed a subversive. Most active opposition to the junta was murdered at the beginning of the coup, then the police went after anyone they wished. Thirty thousand people simply disappeared during the period of The Dirty War, 1976 -1983.

This article indicates that before this nightmare ended, union auto workers who produced Ford Falcons in Argentina were determined to be "enemies" of the state, and were, themselves, hauled away to oblivion, too!
Good god almighty.

Sandensea, I heard about these cars of death years ago and could never forget about them ever since. There's nothing on earth which compares to a deadly, determined fascist dictatorship. What a shame it is knowing that in ALL the countries where fascists have had dictatorship already, the dictatorship people and their offspring, and their cohorts continued to live on to keep their dingy, dirty fires going year in, year out. It appears they are never really gone, only glimmering away in the shadows, ready to leap back to light as soon as another lunatic decides its time to start it all over again, people like Macri, Bolsonaro, Trump, etc.
Let's hope they never get the level of support behind them they crave.
Patricia de Ferrari should move into the Falcon of Death driver's seat and pick up Argentina's former Macri Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, who could use a designated driver.
