Amazing find, especially given the place. I see a GMC Terrain, a Nissan Versa Sedan, a Chevrolet Equinox, a Honda Civic, and a Toyota RAV4 in the backdrop.
Finds like this are awesome.
Kind of reminds me of that 1963 Plymouth Valiant sedan that shows up at my college campus.

What isn't apparent in this shot is that there's a car show directly behind it. So while it appears to be an 'in the wild' find, it sadly isn't. You can see some of the show cars in the front 3/4 shot.

Ah, gotcha. That seems to happen a lot. Someone takes their car out, but doesn't enter it in the show.

Yup. This one deserved to be in the show more than most of the cars in the show. Sigh.

Really? What dreck decided to show up?

The usual array of modern muscle cars you can see on any new or used car lot.

Fifth gen Camaros, SN-95 and fifth-gen Mustangs, and maybe some new Challengers?

And sixth-gen Mustangs like the Shelby I posted a few days back (that was at this show). Yawn.
What I really hate is when someone buys a new car, takes it to a car show, and wins with it. What motivation is there for people to go restore a vintage car if people only care about the newest of the new? Blah.

Ah, gotcha.
At that rate, might as well trade 'em all in when Cash for Clunkers becomes a thing again.
That's the problem with the latest generation, all they give a shit about is getting shuttled around in soulless robot egg cars. To a lot of people, driving is a chore that just cuts into time they could be using on Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, choose your other social media platform. The modern generation couldn't give less of a shit about horsepower ratings or exterior styling. They only care about how many likes their latest picture of beef ramen got. Seriously fuck my generation.

You're 18, right? I'd be uh, happy to assist the girls of your generation with that.

I'm not sure where you're going with that. Care to elaborate?

You said, and I quote: Seriously fuck my generation. I'd be happy to, but only the girls. And only the ones over 18 (which, if I remember correctly, that's your age, which makes them your generation). Someone's gotta teach 'em how it's done.
I've told you before, I take swearing literally as a way of discouraging people from cussing.

At 15/16 years my mother had one of these ..... It was a '56 Holiday 98 coupe.. A late model build with the J-2 option from the '57, a cross over, built in august of '56.. It still had the transistor radio in the glove box with the factory wrap on it..
