Country music is often about pickup trucks, drinking with your friends, your cheating wife, or buying your horses a beer.

Now I'm going to drift into country music. Is there an end to this? Wolfen at least was connected to the thread title (I think?).

All right, it's also about driving for a living, usually tractor-trailers. I would say that there are some good country bands, although they usually don't get noticed much by the mainstream part of that business.

As Dinah Shore used to proclaim, "See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet, America's favorite family car!"

What is America's family car (or SUV) today? Probably Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Hyundai would be candidates.

Totally fine. I love the loose attention to norms here in the forums.

It's more like the complete abandonment of norms, but hey . . . You can stop me if I bring up The Civil War or the Titanic.

Yes, definitely don't bring up the Titanic; it's a designated memorial and not to be disturbed. Just leave it rest in peace on the seabed.

Post deleted because of thread drift. I'm a little more awake (in the literal sense) right now.

Not be picky, but Wolfen was discussed in the movie thread, wasn't it? Okay, I'm being picky.

wasn't Drive by the Cars a song about cars

It wasn't really about cars.

It was, and it wasn't.

Toyota Camry.

The Honda Accord might be second. Among New York livery cars (the non-medallion cabs), the Camry is certainly at the top,

 

[gunhilltrain]

It was, and it wasn't.

It's certainly a very 1980's-looking video.

Ford Escape and Mustang Fastback.

Yes, but they don't sell in the huge numbers that the Big Three used to produce. I'm going to restrain myself and not comment on old Mustangs. I do have one in a story.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Maybe, but those are what we drive. Well, Jo also has a Harley Hog she rides. Sometimes, I'm in back of her, clinging to her for dear life.

My ex-wife learned to ride motorcycles because her second husband did that. She was, I think, 46 or 47 then. Anyway, he passed in 2011. Now at the age of 66 she is too old to ride one.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Yeah, my dad rode horses, and motorcycles, raced cars, hang-glided around Colorado, Clum mountains, and karate, if it was physical, had some amount of danger, he did it. (yes, I know clum isn't a word)
