Matryoshka Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 58 minutes ago, cintinative said: Okay, after reading the comments on this on FB, I feel the need to explain that this is totally a joke. I am not advocating unsafe vehicles for our kids. I'm also not advocating unsafe vehicles for our kids, but... My first car was a Ford Fiesta that I bought for $600. Shortly thereafter, the doors stopped working - couldn't get in or out of the driver door, and the passenger door would only open from the inside. So, to get out, I crawled across the stick shift, and to get in, I opened the back hatch and crawled through. Then someone icepicked all my tires, so I drove around with cans of 'instant tire patch' that I'd use to refill / hopefully repatch my tires till the next stop. Oh, and the brake fluid leaked, so I had to keep topping it off so I didn't lose my brakes. My dad managed to sell that car for me for $300. He later saw it abandoned on the side of the road... 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 For a while I drove Big Bertha, a giant boat of an Oldsmobile station wagon - with wood paneling even! Yup, was my grandmothers. Well, she gave it to my uncles who passed it around and eventually I drove it. No AC, in Florida 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it was photoshopped. It was initially posted on a joke thread on Reddit, where a bunch of people commented that it had to be fake because no concrete crew would leave at that point.

I wonder if she purposely chose something that didn't exist so she didn't get a bunch of comments like "Hey, I loved my Dodge Charger" etc. My first car was a 1972 Chevy Nova. I was born in 1969 so it was pretty old by the time I could drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 To restart my step-dad's Dodge Ram, I had to get out, open the hood and prop open the butterfly valve on the carburetor. Sometimes this was not in the safe area of town but very seldom at an intersection because it did better once it was warmed up. I find myself somewhere in between my parents and today's helicopter parents on the whole safety expectations spectrum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Kareni I’m sure anyone young enough to be your daughter’s friend was after the switch to STI, which was more than 30 years ago at this point. The parents probably didn’t think about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
