Car Porn

What country did you grow up in? I think Elton John had one of these.

 

Something you don’t see every day...

 

I had a 1980 4-door Citation as my first car. It was passed from my parents to my brother, who used it like a van while starting his sound company, then I got it with 60k miles on it. Yes it was ugly, but it was the perfect car for a 16 year old long haired kid. It was fast enough to be fun, but not fast enough to get hurt. It took many minor hits with no real damage. Cops never gave it a second look even though it was a rolling party. It was a ton of fun in the snow, and when you folded down the back seat it was like a bedroom on wheels. I sleep off many a bender back their rather than trying to drive, and it was a great "date" car. Ran well until the transmission died. To be fair I beat it hard. All-in-all a good car. when it died I bough a '78 Trans Am, and proceed to lose my drivers licence three times before switching to a truck to blend in and slow down.

 

That’s actually an Opel Kadett. We were surprised it made it to 1974, where it was replaced with a Dodge Dart that got a new engine and tranny in 1976.

 

My bad. Looked like a Hillman Hunter
