The Grocery Getter


Yes, its a 4 door. Yes, it fits two gargantuan car seats in the back so I can take my kids out cruising. Yes, I take it when I go grocery shopping. Yes, it has tacky Rally wheels on it. Yes its got all kinds of things I could nitpick, but its mine, and when i'm driving to the grocery, target, or anywhere else, I'd rather be driving this than anything else. The stereo sounds like crap, the wipers don't work,  But I love the feel of tuck and roll and mechanical brakes, the whine of a 3 speed and the way the mufflers rap when I downshift. I sold the car I came home from the hospital in so that I could buy a 4 door. On purpose. I'd rather have my family with me in our family fun machine than rolling solo in my little german sardine can. Long live the American Icon!
