Everything cultural, pop or otherwise. Books, movies, music, comics, poetry, random cultural geekery.

I actually kinda liked an old Nova I was driven around SpB in... Similar to the old Broncos...

When I was a wee lad in the early '70's , we had an AMC Hornet 4 door. Not as bad as the Pacer, but close. In those days, you could legally put a child seat in the front passenger seat, and there were no brake cut-offs on automatics to avoid shifting out of park... One morning my mom had to run back in to the house for something, and I reached over and put it in drive. Good thing I was in the child seat and couldn't reach the accelerator.

Or as I call them, The Soviet Ice Cream Truck. Especially the early ones in that dark green they no longer offer...

In Soviet Russia, Ice Cream chills you!
