FINALLY, I've Found My Summer G Funk Weed Smoking Jam!

Global warming? Cars are not cool anymore.

chrome them shitz out.

it gets really good gas mileage. it's like floating on air. or a boat on a very calm sea. i need a car. there is no way i could walk to work from where we are living this summer. it's the first car i've ever enjoyed driving. don't get me wrong, i lived in a city for 13 years and didn't even have a driver's license. i walked everywhere. i didn't even take buses. and i much prefer that kind of life. i never cared about cars. but this one is smoooooooth!

Certainly, cars are a huge issue in a country as big and desolate as the U.S.

Another reason why I'm jealous of Europe. Sigh. Jesus fucking christ, people they've even got the best wine over there! Why are we here???

we is suckas.

also, i love my 99 Toyota Avalon, which has a similarly smooth, boat-like drive.

my summer g funk weed smoking jam: Okie by JJ Cale.

we can get lots of their wine here though.

i actually lived here a year before getting my license. it sucked. i got tired of being stared at by people in cars. i was always the only one walking. with a baby. in a stroller. or on a bike. with a baby. in a bike stroller. it got really old. but i held out as long as i could.

this was officially my first car, my dad handed it down to me while I was getting my driver's license and it died just before I could ride it in earnest. It was yellow, nicknamed the 'banana boat', utter pimpage. Might as well have been a hovercraft, fuck a speedbump. Live proud.

Jesus you look at cars like that and it's like...could the damn tail end BE and flatter or huger? What were folks THINKING in the early 70's?

buicks rock. my grandpa in KY drove nothing but, he had a great early 60s le sabre w/fins. his last car was a 67 skylark that I drove a bit after he died -- great late 70s weedcruizer tho it only had AM radio.

the apples don't fall far cuz my dad developed a buick fixation late in life. had an early 90s le sabre that he liked so much he bought another in 97 -- the spitting image of that 99 -- but didn't get to drive it much. After he died I gave it to his cousin, a catholic priest.

so I always thought of buicks as 'old guy cars' partly because of the insane way my dad drove -- even when he was my age now. he'd lock in that cruise control and plug along the freeway at 55 no matter what.

tho my favorite old guy driving buick story is w/my grandpa in the skylark when I was 15 and he was 80, going 40 mph on the x-way when the speed limit was 70s, cars whizzing past and horns blaring...ZOOM

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE MARIO ANDRETTI SONS OF BITCHES

uh grandpa maybe could you go a little bit faster

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE MARIO ANDRETTI SONS OF BITCHES

wow my grandpa used this exact phrase several times a day.

so I always thought of buicks as 'old guy cars' partly because of the insane way my dad drove -- even when he was my age now. he'd lock in that cruise control and plug along the freeway at 55 no matter what.

I do this when driving (c)runk.

everyone who sees my car starts telling me stories about their grandparents. ha! i love my old man car. one big reason is i am, like, 6 feet tall and i think it's the only car i've ever driven where i can stretch out and have room for my legs. so comfy. the seat goes back so far. which is why the oldsters in florida love it so. total la-z-boy action.

Ugh. My first car was an '81 Honda Accord from back when they still made them in Japan for Japanese people, most of whom aren't six feet tall and mostly legs at that. Even if I put the seat all the way back, my knees were jammed up against the dash.

you bought a '99 Buick LeSabre? that's fucking awesome. those things DO get good mileage for the size. my father-in-law bought a new used Lincoln Town Car last year and it has hydraulics that pump up when you start it. he says the mileage is way more generous than you'd expect for a car that smooth too.

This thread is making me feel all emotional.

Scott, congratulations on your new party barge. If I had "Sweet Emotion" on my player I'd be putting it up right about now, but the thought will have to suffice.

ESG is the jam!

especially after cooking up some chicken/rice/beans and drinking four bass ale.

(it's all about the stubbs)
