I had drivers ed in a '72 four door Chevelle, ugly pumpkin color with a black vinyl roof and black interior and NO a/c. Ugly uncomfortable car.

All my schools drivers ed cars came from a (gag) Chevy dealer. There were a few of each 1980 Malibu, Chevette, and Citation. All base model 4 doors with zero options. The Chevette's didn't have power steering and even though they're small and light, was still a sweaty job in July, at 90 degrees, for parallel parking instruction.
Always thought that was over stressed. I mean, how often does anyone parallel park? I've probably had to parallel park maybe a whole half dozen times since then, he rants.

I learned how to parallel park in my mom’s ’75 New Yorker. Even took the driver’s test in same vehicle (with flying colors).
I agree. If you can park one of those hunks of iron, anything else is a breeze.

My best friend at the time, took his drivers test in a 1970 Olds Custom Cruiser wagon. You know, one of these behemoth's. The parallel parking test must've been a bitch, lol!

I don`t live alone and I didn`t see a helmet either. Must be some kind of optical illusion.

A long, long time actually! lol. Yes, I do have a GF of over 15 years that's here quite often, we don't live together though. Talked about it but decided to not mess with a good thing.

Not a laugh CL ad, it's priced accordingly. Not bad for a 24 year old Wisconsin truck, lol. Seriously, it looks better than the average '95.

Funny how that works, isn't it? Seems like I just bought my '96 Dakota a few years ago but I've owned it for 21 years. Doesn't feel all that long ago I bought the Aspen except it was 32 years ago already, yikes!
