Yup, got mine in the Summer of '79. Thought I was bad AF cruising the strip that Summer in my '76 Monte Carlo.

Don't tell my DW! That is her absolute favorite former car, and she would have one (swivel buckets and all) in our driveway right now if they weren't selling for more than their original 1976 showroom sticker in just fair condition.....

Yeah, mine had swivel buckets and the 454 and would be worth gobs of money now. But it rusted really badly like they all did here in MN. Ended up with the door skins flapping and rattling as I drove down the freeway.

I've recently discovered that if I stop thinking of those cars as having terrible drivers in them but instead as non-thinking automatons that are just poorly programmed, I am far more patient and get far less angry and then just pass them once I get a chance. |

That's a great Zen mindset-management technique and I admire you for it. I'll try to remember it and give it a shot. But in my current mindset, does it really matter? They're in my f*cking way, and I don't really care if they're Lewis Hamilton or Helen Keller. They need to get the f*ck out of my way. Bigger picture, they need to knock off their childish, petty, passive-aggressive antisocial behavior and act like situationally-aware considerate adults.

If I'd fortified myself with 'Ludes, none of it would have bothered me in the least. I would have sailed right through the whole thing. On the shoulder, at 15 MPH. After my 2-hour nap.

I kinda miss hair, but I still hope to buy another '70 Cougar.
On the driving rants: This morning coming in to work, stopped at a light in 2nd place. Person in front of me takes off, and continues to accelerate, while TAPPING/holding the brakes |

Most here are my dads age+
Some notes about me, I'm not your typical generationa Xennial 1977/1983 Unique experience. You have a childhood, youth and adolescence avoided of having to worry about social media posts and mobile phones... We learned to consume media and came of age before there was Facebook and Twitter and Snapchat and all these things where I watch the evening Chanel 7News or read the Boston Globe I'm on the back 9 of my life 38, you guy(s) are already at the clubhouse getting drunk 🍻 ⛳️ |

Aggressive? Not especially. Opportunistic and proactive? For sure. Perpetually frustrated? Yeah...guilty.

I wish. I'm stuck in that hell-hole of a sand trap to the left of the green on 13. The more I swear, the deeper it gets.

Well said....and I feel that perpetually frustrated. Type A personality as well? I try to be a little more calm these days, but for the most part I stay wound tighter than a banjo string.

I went and found my Grandma and proudly announced to her that "I heard Grandpa talking Irish!" She was very skeptical and puzzled. "What did it sound like?" she asked. I did my best to do a mumble-mouthed impression of it. She laughed and with a wry smile said "Lad, that wasn't Irish. And I better never hear such things coming out of your young mouth."
