That was a chilling movie, which changed the way I viewed people who actually *named their cars*: I avoided them from then on. LOL.

4 bodies in the trunk, 4 people in the back, driver with girlfriend riding "go-go" and whoever called "shotgun" first...

epic nights. when gas was cheap, old enough to buy beer and young enough to ride with one arm on the wheel and the other out the window.... That ride brings a smile to me. A BIG SMILE....

My first car was a '68 Firebird like this but white. I paid 600 bucks for it in 1975.

It oozed torque, so much it was almost impossible to NOT chirp all 4 gears. It passed everything but the gas station. 10 mpg and a 12 gallon tank, do the math.

“I haven’t talked to Jay Leno yet,but I’m wondering if he’s interested,”Veitch said early Thursday.”But I don’t think I should start talking about it now.”


This is really funny if you consider the fact that she’s had four husbands when you read it...

Just look at that car. No seatbelts, no headrests, has wing windows an lots of chrome. It just screams freedom (from gov't interference).
