Do you hate cars?

[Dekalb_Blues]

For best results, it's important to have a car that matches the mystic vibrations of your particular incarnational background. This one, for instance, would be perfect for those of us who were involved in esoteric pursuits in ancient Egypt:


 
Vintage one-horsepower model (racing stripes and leopard mascot are extra-priced custom options):




 The actual point, au fond, of the (suitably price-pointed) automobile? No comment.

Here's the car I had in high school, a drop-top '66 Ford Galaxie 500 XL, a hell of a boat with a 240 hp 352 mill in it (not a toy motor by any means, but conservative for the time -- you could opt for a big-block 428 with 360 horse, pretty damn serious). And a bangin' 8-track. Spacious enough interior to dance in. Trust me, the previous video has a lot of truth to it, as I first found out with this particular vehicle.



My second car was an '80 Peugeot 505 turbodiesel sedan. Like riding on a motorized cloud (comme monter sur un nuage motorisé https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt_M36YgfxM). The seats in this thing were more comfortable than any in my house -- I used to go and sit in it just to read and listen to the wonderful sound system. Of course, these early Peugeots had the minor drawback of randomly powering-up their glow plugs (red-hot electric igniters for the diesel fuel, usually energized only briefly when starting the car) when parked with the engine off, and burning themselves up. But it was still a nice car.

Having caught the luxury bug, things escalated rapidly after that...
