There was a time in the 70's when it seemed like everybody wanted to be a long haul trucker. 

"Ten Four Good Buddy, I've got my ears on!" 

Most of us are not long haul truckers, we don't make our living spending the entire day in the driver's seat.

Short haul truckers, even bus drivers also put a lot of miles down everyday.

There are many people that have long commutes, fifty to seventy five miles each way, in heavy commute traffic.

I'm not referencing those types of drivers, I'm referring to the tourist, the vacation driving motorist.

'Cause that thing definitely is not going to fix itself!

 Breaking up is hard to do. Part two of a continuing series. 

Laugh if you will, but I already miss that thing! 

I broke up with one vehicle by having it break down on me. That was easy, if not painless.

 I still love the long roofs!

The Parklane provided the glamour to go against the Chevy Nomad.

This is my favorite wagon advertisement picture.
It captures the idea of family fun.
