On the other side of the coin, last night I saw a '60 Olds for sale at a 
detail shop in downtown Salem, Or.  Not that I'd ever buy one, but my 
immediate family had 2 of those so I thought I'd stop and remind myself what 
they were like.
So along comes this scruffy, middle aged guy with a shell shocked look on 
his face, toting a bag of what I presumed was all his worldly goods. He 
stops and for the longest while stares at my '63 Belvedere. As I've gone 
over the Old-smo-bilee several times waiting for him to leave the scene, I'm 
like, 'great, this guy's gonna hold out for a hand out', I turn to get back 
in my Plymouth and he asks if its my car and tells me that back in the day 
'those were called Mopars!'  We talked about my car long enough for him to 
get some expression back in his face and he watched my car as I left. I'm 
wondering if it is the design blandness of the last 30 years that causes 
social dispair. Good enough of a reason for me.
