Heard it often enough, never knew the name of the song until now.
Sniffing the driver’s seat?
Sure is. I remember it.
‘Pod.
Cool memories of your teenage alcoholic days!
Where’d you live in NE? Why Hampton Beach NH?

Very memorable song that has always stayed with me. I had one of those record compliations back then (K-tel?) and this song was on it. I may still have that album somewhere, but have nothing on which to play it!
With louvers, even...
I knew a girl who, somehow, owned not a Camaro but the superior Trans-Am. Bird of prey painted on the hood and everything.
No T-top.
My college roommate bought this album and played it constantly. The rest of the record is actually pretty good. We saw them when they toured after it came out.
Yeah, I remember that one. Long time now, long time. About to leave the Navy, dropped my butt in Silicon Valley and it was a rocket ride from then on out. Good times.
I grew up in the Revere area but we preferred not to hang around our local beaches for mainly two reasons.
First reason, it was easier for underage kids to score beer up in New Hampshire as they had a lower drinking age. I think it was 18 at the time and nobody in the beach area carded. Also, me and my little band of friends at the time were the nerdy types and didn’t want to hang out where we’d get hassled from other kids we knew from school. Revere Beach especially was a tough and seedy area in those days. But they did have Kelly’s Roast Beef!
'79 Pontiac Trans Am
I had an ‘83 Firebird with t-tops. 5 speed, 6 cylinder.
The YouTube video (extended version) is awesome! Hot cars and hot women.
If I said “Rock 80” would you have any idea what I was talking about?
I was interested because I just drove up that way earlier this summer. I’m from California so I like checking out other parts of the country.
But we missed Hampton Beach. Wanted to drive up the Maine coast so we went 495 from Lowell to 95 and over to the seaside highways at Portsmouth.
If I’d known about Hampton Beach I’d have gone over to the coast sooner.
It was a great day trip. I liked the area. Went as far as Portland then headed northwest through Maine to northern New Hampshire.
