While my own
experience with cars is limited to home to school/store to home, I had spent time with my grandson, the car thief. Thank you, dear Lord, for technology. We will watch him grow up.
While his vocabulary was that of a two-year
old (which he was at the time), he had clear vision on the types of cars. There are
three: little cars, big cars, and cool cars. He was quite serious when
he said "COOL cars."
It makes perfect
sense, this division of cars.
Here are some “cool
cars”.
| I tried to remember what this is.... |
Now, given that these
are “cool cars”, there are many cars that used to be the "Kings of Cool Fast Cars". Sadly, they have broadened their
line. Now the cool cars are really expensive, and not that cool.
| Not your father's Maserati |
The Dukes of Hazard and Magnum P.I. must weep at the devolution of the cool fast cars.
P.S. The Mustang is still the Mustang. You can see them at this site.
I need to get better cars, some cool cars. These are not. These are the cars I used to "play cars" with my grandson over Skype.

Yeah, that's a valid breakdown of cars.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy going to car shows with autos and trucks going back to the early 1900s. Amazing cars. I like looking at the pickups.
DeleteWhen my mother took care of my son as I had to work, he absolutely loved playing with the toy cars they had kept from my brother's stash. When his Grandpa got home from work, my son would exclaim,
ReplyDelete"Truck, van!" because he knew his Grandpa would carry him upstairs to play with these coveted toys while he changed out of his work clothes. Oh, the memories this brought back to me, Susan. Thanks and blessings!
I know! How fun was that.
DeleteI like the toy cars better than those huge gas guzzlers. I do know some males who would love them, to look at, but not buy, they take up far too much space. Australia has smaller cars, though we did have our versions of cool cars.
ReplyDeletethe cost of the gas is an issue in all cars now. big cars are seldom on the road, but when they are I sure love to look at them.
DeleteMy boys were always partial to Mustangs. I preferred Thunderbirds and Lincoln Town Cars.
ReplyDeleteMy SIL has a mustang convertible, 2006,
DeleteGT. Love to ride in it. jsut hard gto get in and out.
My granddaughter has a little hot wheels style car and loves to make the “vroom!” noise when we play with it. Her father, the car guy, loves it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that hot wheel car time of my life. My son was really into them. I wish he still was, he is 45.
DeleteA friend of mine had an Oldsmobile 88 convertible. He and another friend were driving by Washington University and picked up 13 girls. If that happened today pictures would have be all over the internet.
ReplyDeleteHard to imagine these days. My SIL has a Ford Ranchero and a Mustang convertible. He has had other cool cars.
DeleteThe cool fast cars of my youth have given way to cool, QUIET cars...
ReplyDeleteWe have gotten a CUV that is easy to enter and exit. Too hard these days to climb and out, I guess that means we are old.
Deletethe first one is a 63 F85 Oldsmobile. they are the cool cars to me, and anything older than that is cool. cars had personalities back then, now they are all alike and I have to see the emblem to know what it is
