October 15, 20204 yr comment_608077 My Mom had a Pontiac Catalina when I first had memory. And my memory was :this is a huge car". We called it the "kitty cat". She always threatened to put me in the trunk when I wouldn't shut up with my questions. But why? Why? Why? Why? That makes no sense, WHY!!! Then "do as I say, not as I do". I love my dog.

October 16, 20204 yr comment_608087 AK, LOL!! Yeah that's the one! When siteunseen mentioned dropping a marble into the door of his moms car, it reminded me of the ball bearing demo they did on the XLE. The best part is you can hear that ball rattling around in there like pachinko before it falls out the bottom. Hahaha!!! This is engineering for the inner-city driving experience.

October 16, 20204 yr comment_608121 In high school one of my good friends had an Oldsmobile VistaCruiser with a big block (455?) in it. That thing was a tank, but lots of top end if you had room to run. Remember burying the speedometer needle more than once with 5 or 6 (or 8 or 9?) of us punks in it. It is a wonder we all survived some of the stupid things we did back then.

October 18, 20204 yr comment_608333 It's a series of older comedy movies with the Griswold family. This has a huge station wagon "The Wagon Queen Family Truckster". That older guy is Chevy Chase, he's been in a lot of pretty funny movies. Caddyshack? Also had a talk show for one season. He sucked at that. https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/National_Lampoon's_Vacation Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64544-c%E2%80%99mon-own-up/?&page=3#findComment-608333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
