@LoganFive fool. you do not go "viral" on mastodon. you go "woolly". you simpleton. you absolute station wagon
@GroupNebula563 I like station wagons. They’re comfortable, slightly dangerous depending on seating arrangement, and they can sure take a beating and keep moving forward.
@sweetcherry @GroupNebula563 No madam. I am Generation X-Men with the mutant powers of the latchkey, ability to survive the way back seat of a station wagon with no seatbelt and not die, and the defense ability of sarcasm.

@sweetcherry @LoganFive @GroupNebula563 SUV = Millennial's socially-acceptable tax-avoidant term* for station wagon

(My title and registration call my SUVs station wagons; if they were trucks, I'd be assessed higher taxes by my state.)

@LoganFive @sweetcherry @GroupNebula563 and that's coming from a genX punk with literary talents 😊 i can kill with words like a knight with swords

What movies are those? I seem to have some homework!

Repo Man (film) - Wikipedia

@sweetcherry @LoganFive @GroupNebula563

the humor may be a little dated or obscure, 40 years on but it was a hoot when it first came out. It's a very LA/California movie, lampooning a lot of cutural currents present in the times that may seem obscure or cryptic today. Still a worthy movie watch..

@sweetcherry @LoganFive @GroupNebula563

this would make a great double feature with Repo Man..

also a very LA/CA/Hwood movie from the same era. May also contain humor that today will seem odd, obscure or dated. Kind of a fun trip down memory lane. Both movies have some iconic shots of 80's LA that is no longer there because of time & new construction.

@sweetcherry @LoganFive @GroupNebula563

another good pairing of 2 very 80's very LA/CA/HW movies would be: "Grease" and "Xanadu".. lots of iconic LA scenes that are no longer there or too changed with time. Xanadu is really underrated as a fun movie, btw.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @sweetcherry @LoganFive okay, that's enough oldmovieposting please /nm

@GroupNebula563 @sweetcherry @LoganFive

it was primarily intended for sweetcherry.. she was the one that asked intially.

the rest of you are merely faceless innocent bystanders.

@LoganFive
And can inherently get better mileage than a monster SUV! 😁

@LoganFive @GroupNebula563

why haven't they made a comeback yet?

@LoganFive @GroupNebula563 why are station wagons "slightly dangerous"? (Other than being a car)
@stanni @GroupNebula563 It’s dangerous for the kid thrown in the way back with no seatbelt.
@LoganFive @GroupNebula563 I would never put my kid in any car without a seatbelt 😱
Is this an US thing?
@stanni @GroupNebula563 It was, back in the day.
@LoganFive @GroupNebula563 ah, I see. Sounded like it was still the case today. I guess that was the case here too.
@stanni
I'm 61 and the first 12 years of my life no car I rode in had seatbelts
@LoganFive and they've got a big backend...

@LoganFive @GroupNebula563

Hi! I like station wagons! They're comfy and easy to drive!

@LoganFive @GroupNebula563 In this case, it's actually called a station logan.
