    Try the front seat of a single cab. Cruising highway speeds at 5am with only a slightly cracked window.

    Those Newports hit

    God it seemed like that fucking song was on a neverending loop for about six months. MTV must have played it once an hour.

    No special car seats, either, except for babies/toddlers. I know I used a booster seat when very small, and grew out of it when I was “tall enough to see out the window.” Then a few years later (some point in the mid-90s), the law extended the age that required car seats.

    Thankfully I was above the age cut off - I’m pretty sure that after being told I’m “a big girl” and that I “grew out” of my booster seat, I would’ve put up a fight over needing to use one again.

    Man I do miss the red velur/velvet whatever people used to put in cars. I thought it was a nice ascetic.

      I rode in an older luxury one (I’m not sure how luxury a Chrysler New Yorker was seen at the time, but it had clearly been a premium model) years later as an adult and it was plush and comfy. Kind of annoying to get in and out of because it really grabbed at your clothes, but I can understand why it was once seen as a luxury feature, especially compared to the vinyl in my dad’s pickup truck!

    Lol reminds me of everyone’s back seats with all the little (and sometimes not so little) holes melted through from the cigarette embers flying back.

    When you get home, she turns on the TV and it’s 3/4 of the way through a rerun of the Beetlejuice animated show premier. You hear your mom cough and light another.
