The good old days by L Sternn
Driving home from work today in 102 degree heat with the top down and a 12-pack of beer by my side, I longed for the good old days when it would have been legal for me to break that 12-pack open and have a cold one while I sat in traffic. Sigh.... So, instead I had to drive 90 miles an hour so I...

Another Regional Difference by Scott en Aztlán
Here in the ArkLaTex, the "hot" vehicles are mid 80s GM vehicles, especially Oldsmobiles. Rusty '85 Cutlasses with bling-bling wheels, vinyl tops, and tinted windows are EVERYWHERE - and ricemobiles are few and far between. They still like stickers, though - only instead of saying "Bilstein" or...
