They'd be laughing their cute little asses off at the next red light.

Boys would try to get them to pull over. They'd flirt at the lights, then laugh and run when the light changed.

That's grade-A wifey material right there.

Well now, THAT reminds me of this girl back in HS that drove this 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk, powered by a 289 cu in, 275 HP supercharged V-8.

She would taunt the guys that if their stock car could beat her in a 1/4 mile race, they could "have" her. Well, she was no prize, so nobody took her up on that - why? - cause nobody could beat her. Her car had an automatic transmission, so she didn't spend a lot of time "spinning her wheels" off the line. Her father was a "car guy" which may have had something to do with it's tune. By the time the Fords and Chevys got traction and their dual four barrels kicked in, her supercharger got wound up and they couldn't catch her.

It was almost embarrassing to watch the guys with their Fords and Chevys meekly return to Hollon's garage (our hangout place) after she would consistently smoke them.

THE END

That's a Studebaker Wagonaire, the forgotten stepsister of the original Jeep Wagoneer, designed by the same guy and carrying some of the same styling cues. It had a retractable roof in the back for surfboards and cargo and a fold-down step on the tailgate so you could step right up into the back of it.

In 2004 GM brought out a retractable roof version of the Envoy and claimed it was the "First Ever!" What's old is new.

It also looks like ass in person. I saw one in Japan. Awful.

Yep, right up there with Jalopnik reporting on KTM (Bajaj) buying Ducati.
(Which has now been republished by redit, rushlane, cnet and on and on...)
