rambler

we took anything and everything and we were young, just starting out,and experimenting for the future and all we had was time. so we piled into our(no it was my rambler)'63 rambler and drove anywhere and nowhere in particular, anywhere the rambler would go. the rambler ran like the most expensive sports car "i'd swear that car could fly," with it's v-8 engine and premium gas at 70 cents per gallon. pink floyd on the eight track tape player made the lack of a front seat cover almost bearable but not quite, even though you could lay back the seat like a bed and use the blanket/seatcover to keep warm at night. the rambler fortunately came equipped with heavy duty bumpers making the ramming of inebriated rural road signs possible although the bumpers did begin to "V" in the middle after many late night rendezvous and the deodorizer lost it's pine scent. earlier, after buying the coupe i intended on painting the rambler but i stopped after doing just part of the body work leaving the rambler camouflaged looking because of the gray primer and the cars faded green original color, the remainder of the short time i owned it, it sort of looked funky yet appropriate for my age and the times.the war in vietnam was just over, and i was a child of the sixties, when i sold it i got fifty dollars , it was a wreck.

thinking back on the rambler now that i'm older and have owned quite a few cars, the rambler wasn't an attractive car but boy it ran like the wind(flatulence), and there were several perks to owning it like that front seat that completely laid back i'm sure there was more but don't ask me what? and you didn't have to worry about scratches since the car itself was a scratch and it still ran.
