The neighbors that live behind me….well….let me rephrase….the renters behind me have an old 80’s Buick Regal in their driveway.
It reminds me of my first car – which was a 1982 Buick Regal (in silver/blue). If I recall, it had power locks and manual windows. It had A/C (nice in Houston).
It was stolen twice (if I recall) although I can only remember the details of the one time at our house.
My habit was to come home at 3 or 4 am after being out in the poolhalls (even on school nights) and then pass out for a few hours. Well, one evening, I believe I was at home, but my brother didn’t know it – and his room was on the same side of the house as the garage. So he hears some people screwing around with the car, and then assumes it’s me or my friends. They drive off. Apparently, the next morning he realizes it wasn’t me.
The dudes were high or drunk, because they took the car down the street, then turned into a giant field – and drove down the field instead of driving down the regular roads.
The cops recovered the car.
My brother eventually ended up running the car under a really tall truck – wedging the hood shut pretty much permanently. Which was kind of a bummer, because even though I bitched about it a lot, I really liked that car.
