Leroy!
When I was little, in the 6, 7, 8-ish range, my sister owned a bright red Chevrolet Camaro. It was slick, it was cool, it was BAD. She's about 18 years older than me and started her career as a teacher. I'm sure she was one of the most popular teachers at the school - not just because she is really, really nice, but also because she had that car! I hung out with Carol all the time while my Mom and Dad were working - she the oldest & me the youngest....the bookends. Carol listened to some great music and it is one of my fondest memories with her growing up. A particular favorite that always makes me think of Carol is Jim Croce's Bad, Bad Leroy Brown. Every time I hear it on the radio, it always lifts my spirits, whether they need them or not! We danced in the kitchen or cruised in that Camaro to a great many tunes. We had FUN! I just heard it on the radio and it stirred some good memories...I cherish those days...and I miss that Camaro :)

Baddest man in the whole damn town! I have fond memories of that song too! Nice post.
lucky you - my first (and second, and third) car was a BEATER. it was totally embarrassing to ride around in. you at LEAST were tres cool by association. you could've been a geek by association riding with me.
riding around was a way of life for teens in lamesa. i have some great memories riding around in cars both cool and not so much. thanks for sparking my memory too!
