Mine was a brown 1972 Buick Electra 225 with a creme landau top. The damn thing was about 50 feet long and about 10 feet wide. I could load at least 8 people, 4 in the front and 4-6 in the back depending on size.

I was really embarrassed to drive it at first. The first Friday night I drove it, that changed. For some reason it was a chick magnet. I guess pulling up to McDonald's with a couple of ice chests of booze in the cavernous trunk had something to do with it. Anyway it wasn't long before the "Brown Hound" was the car to ride in.

Before long my buddy started driving his mom's equally sized lime green Pontiac Bonneville dubbed the "Green Lizard.". No matter where we went, we were the party.

That thing looks like a beast.

Mine was a 2002 Honda civic. Bought it new and drove it like I stole it. Went through 2 motors and 2 transmissions. Snapped a control arm handbraking through a turn. Had a lot of good times and had a lot of bad times in that car. Finally sold it to my uncle a few years back. He wanted it as a starter car for his daughter. She drove it for about 3 years til she loaned it out to a friend and they wrapped it around a tree. Sad to see it go out like that.

Beast is an understatement. I don't think today's parking slots are big enough. If I floored it, I could almost watch the gas gauge drop. Good thing I could fill it for about $7.

I think I spent about $2000 back in '80 putting a sound system in it. Even had a sub-woofer installed. Can't tell you how many times Sugarhill Gang's Apache was played in the tape player.
