Comanche County Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 For some reason that car reminds me of the many mopor wagons my grandmother used to haul me around when I was a just a wee kid. Although she favored the old giant buick wagons. She never let me wear a seatbelt because she thought they would trap you in a car if there was an accident. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Well, she likely grew up in an era when "crash safety" meant that the vehicle was so solid the only thing that absorbed any of the impact was your face on the windshield... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah, I loved that old lady...she was a "humdinger". I can clearly recall many of hot Texas road trips riding curled up on the back dash above the rear seat baking in the sun on a long highway road trip.

gogmorgo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Sounds a lot like my Grandpa. Still doesn't quite understand the fallibility of what he sees on TV and the Internet, but he's got so much to teach everyone that I kinda regret growing up 1000 miles away... Sometimes I wish I was born a few decades earlier. My early childhood roadtrips involved me strapped down to my seat as securely and as distant from my siblings as possible...
