My FIL had a ‘69 Camaro with the hideaway headlights when I started dating his daughter. He let us take it out on date night one night; after dinner I couldn’t get the little doors to open. I ring him up and he about dies laughing and says, “It’s an old car, just drive with the doors closed! Some light still shines…

Rural town. Middle of nowhere Virginia.

It should just be The Jetsons’ sound, industry wide.

Carfection or Harry’s Garage on Youtube.

I dunno - seems pretty sharky to me...

My dad had a lot of cool cars before and since then, but he cried when the tow truck finally took away his 13yo ‘88 Accord. Up to that point, I didn’t even know the man had tear ducts.

You’re SO close, but the 1986 Accord was earlier and more significant.
