Really thought the thread title related to the demise of the big cars of the 70's with their huge bench seats and greater back seats.

Also was the last period of the drive in theaters and submarine races of Saturday nights.

Not much can happen in these modern lunch box cars.

“Not much can happen in these modern lunch box cars.”

The following is true: I had a friend witha late 60’s commercial Econoline with a waterbed behind the two front seats. With a waterbed made before they were made with baffles, this was a terror to drive. That POS got maybe 10 MPG without a waterbed and the waterbed hardly made a difference,

Cars were great.

SUVs have become the big deal because so-called cars keep getting smaller and are, ultimately, very impractical.

The corps are able to leverage the truck chassis to compensate. Due to strangely the Gov NAZIs not regulating them like “cars”.
