As a Drive In Movie Enthusiast, I f-ing hate DRL’s. There is nothing worse than some jack ass who can’t turn off their lights.


I don’t know for sure, but in the late 80's I went to college in North Carolina. Up there the trend for black folk with customized cars - like your Cutlass, Caddy or Caprice, was a dropped rear and a normal or lifted front end.

So now I’m scouring my local CL for a Supra. NP.

I witnessed this when I lived in rural Georgia. It’s insane.

Google says I made that up. From here it went on to loads of fun in a Datsun B210. Fun fact: they offroad pretty well!

Love the Peterbuilt grill:

I was all hot and bothered to get a 200 series Land Cruiser to accompany my 80 series Land Cruiser. I set my budget at 25K. Then bumped it up to 30K. I looked for weeks, lo, months to find the correct one - the right mileage, the right color. I’d find one and it’d vanish. I got loans, I filled out forms, I sent

I’ve had two. The first I painted robin egg blue with white accents (grill! hubcaps! etc!) because it was 1987 in Orlando. The second was a brown manual diesel - I was jalop before jalop was jalop.

These two sad sacks.
