[quote:Anonymous Coward 2476229:MV80ODY0MjAyXzg4ODM0MDI4Xzg5MjMwMzk2] WAY back when I used to be a NYC commuter, I had a maroon 1968 Ford Galaxie XL Fastback (the COOL one with the bucket seats, center console, and vacuum operated covered headlights!) that I bought for 500 bucks. I had to throw a new water pump, starter, belts, 2 new front tires, and an alignment at it, but I got another 20,000 miles out of it before part of the frame fell out. I bought it from the original owner, complete with service records going back to day 1, and his family crying as I drove it away. It was a GREAT "station car" and "NYC car." I could drive it to Hell's Kitchen and party at the punk clubs, and no one would ever mess with it. I could pile gold bars on the back seat, and no one would ever notice. Great car! [/quote]

It was golden.
I bought it in 1997 for a thousand dollars as a "station car" off a Marine who had orders to go some where else.
I watched that car with desire for months, I had no idea I would actually get the chance to make it my own.
Its long gone, but for a little while . . .
These cars are thousands and thousands of dollars now.
Man. That car was a sweet, smooth dream, sliding the corners.
Had that smell - mmmm -
It had a freaking fantastic stereo in it.
I used to drive that thing all over that big base for the pure thrill of it - a diminutive white woman in that big ass car pretending I was one of Charlies Angels.
LOL
I used to play Shaft loud on that sweet sound system.
Man, inside that car - everything was perfect, like time standing still. Pure power and bliss.
Ever have something like this in your life?
Recall it, remember it, soak in it.
Go back to something that made this ride of life all worth it and hold it close. Fuck this current clown world.
