Oldsmobile 98. 3 tons of mailbox plowing steel bumpers, orange barrel throwing, luxuriously spaced seating, so much chrome it upsets local birds, and steel steel steel. Bumps in the road? Lol. Was that a twig or a curb we just rolled over? Cant tell. Can fit an extra three persons in the trunk comfortably with the subs and amps, if necessary, or a honda 185 three wheeler, and is unstoppable with a set of chains on the back in the snow. Longer than the Short Bus, a back seat that made most king size mattresses blush, with the gas mileage to match. Oh how I miss you Hooptie. RIP.
I had a 70 Olds 98 with the Rocket 455. You could literally hear the gas pouring into the dinner-plate sized carburetor when you floored it. Had it for two or three days and the janky wiring caught fire and it burned up. Probably for the best really.

Had an 99 Crown Victoria. When I had to check all four tires, I’d pack a day-bag and carry extra water.

My buddy had a 93-94, we crammed like 12 people in it one night, including the trunk lol
I had maroon 70’ I drove in high school. It easily sat six. I have many fond memories.
Yup, had two of them. A 74 with the 455 and an 83 with the 307. Oddly, they both got about the same mileage, but the 455 was way more fun.
