So yes, it was way more stupid of me than just trying to put it in a lower gear; bad body dyslexia or something. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Why are you saying that, it's <i>your</i> car?!" Hahah! I still don't know how it managed to be just fine after that.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Why are you saying that, it’s your car?!”

Hahah! I still don’t know how it managed to be just fine after that.

We had good times in there for sure. It's really weird to get rid of something like this. They paid me $50 and towed it for free, at least. I know, huh. We had good times in there for sure.

Not the Cutlass!!!!! Good times in that car - trips to Julian for delicious pie, the ceiling fabric that continually hung in your face with 94.9 blaring on the factory installed stereo. I still wish I had bought you that license plate frame that said "Grandma bought it and I got it". NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Not the Cutlass!!!!!
