One: I was behind a very 70's 67 Firebird.  It had a painted diff cover, shackles and wide tires sticking outside the rear wheel wells.  I then wondered what age, and region of people would understand me if I said, "Jacked up with N50 boots."

Two: I've been thinking of posting about what I thought was a Korean only obsession with putting the rear turn signal lights way down on the bumper.  It seems very odd to put them out of the line of sight, but it turns out it's not just Korean.  Saw some suv with an Infiniti badge with them down there, too.

Last, I spent quite a while convincing myself that the ?IS300? (Some Lexus thing) I was following had not been hit from behind by a truck.  Odd shape of the rear panels.

P.S.  I'm struck by how completely I don't give a E36 M3 about newer cars when reading the second two paragraphs.

Are you in your 50's?

I think there comes a point when all this new-fangled nonsense is just garbage, and I don't want none of it. I especially don't want any of these new vehicles with their electronic nannies and FAT a, b and c-pillars.

I mean, what the heck was wrong with Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.0?

(And the older I get, the more I want things jacked up on N50's, slapper bars, Cragars, bluebottles.....)

That was the hot setup when I was in high school.  I'll bet he had an 8 track tape player, too.  smiley
