Going the other way in traffic a 70 Cutlass convertible, blue with white top. Couldn't tell if it was a 442 or not.

I love- LOVE- living in a world where there is a word for throwing someone out a window.

My first new car was a 95 Grand Prix GTP, the 4-cammer, very similar to this body style. I put 307,000 miles on it in 17 years, literally drove it into the ground. Loved that car, and I would love to own this drag car for showing and light race duty.

NP!!!!!!! My god I want that so bad! My family had a 65 Sedan DeVille over 40 years ago, when I was well under 10, and I still have vivid memories and feelings about that car. First car I ever traveled over 100mph in.

Haven’t read all the comments yet, but is that a 65ish Caddy next to whatsisname in the opening pic? Give to Daddy.

My sister has a red Mustang like that, can’t remember what year.

Just bones, I would think. Some clothes maybe, but not a skeleton sitting behind the wheel. 

Former Aztek owner and staunch defender? You are my new favorite Jalop! Mrs McShifterson and I owned a maroon 01 GT for 4 years and LOVED it! Cried when we had to trade up for a minivan.

Whatever the first model year of the Toyota Corolla S was, around 2008 or so. The literally glued-on body kit parts looked glued on and did precisely nothing to enhance its appliance reputation.

I weep for the future.

Suspension parts, like ball joints and tie rod ends. I once bought a replacement ball joint for a car of mine, AutoZone’s store brand. As I installed it, I was snugging down the nut before the final torquing, and the rotten thing stripped, practically no effort required.

Everything’s better as a GIF.

You claim that "we’ve all done a silly thing or two while learning how to drive", but I beg to differ- I personally have never done anything this stupid. I mean, yeah, one time when I'd just gotten my learner's permit I accidentally backed an Infinity into a swimming pool, but that was completely different.

It would be like that Secure Foam scene in Demolition Man, except with poop.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Trapper Keeper? That was my dating history in college!
