Nice.  Now if I can just get my hands on a flux capacitor...
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.   ~Robert A. Heinlein

...let the cannibal who snarls that the freedom of man's mind was needed to create an industrial civilization, but is not needed to maintain it, be given an arrowhead and bearskin, not a university chair of economics.

Was there any good cars in 1977? I really want a '73 Impalla, like in "Supernatural".

Sure. The obvious choice would be the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am (Burt Reynolds Edition) but you could lean toward something a bit more creative. (6 wheeler!)  :-)

Geez.....since I was born in the middle of WW II, when there was no consumer auto production, I suppose I'll have to settle for a "deuce and a half"........

This was our family car when I was 5-9, except it was light gray/dark gray.  My dad kept a car 5 years, then it became my mom's car when the new "family car" was purchased.  But my older brother wreck it in '64.  My mom got a '64 Dodge.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

'77 was also the second-to-last year for the original Z car from Datsun...

On second thought, I might take this one:

1966 Lamborghini Miura
