I've been researching relationships and divorce rates recently.

Lesbian marriages have a 78% divorce rate.

Heterosexual marriages have a 50% divorce rate.

Gay marriages have a 24% divorce rate.

I'm just pointing out that women appear to be a strong causation for divorces based on the data.

There's no real point in men trying to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other.

It’s an optical illusion. That car is about 19 feet long and driver area is spacious to say the least.

The best part of some of those station wagons was the jump seat in the cargo area that faced backwards.

Yeah, they were huge. My two brothers and I took my parent’s station wagon on a number of dove and duck hunting trips. On one occasion, we got stuck in the sand when dove hunting in the desert and it was 100F+ out. My youngest brother was about 10 at the time and started crying and said, “We’re going to die out here!”. Silly boy. Older brother me brought a shovel and dug us out. Good times but I traumatized them for life I fear. LOL

Correct! Not sure I remember seeing an American made diesel family car from that era. I'll bet that vehicle couldn't pass a snail on the highway.

Yeah, no factory turbos on ANYTHING until the ‘90s. Until then, if you had a diesel and wanted to get out of your own way, you had to buy a Banks Turbo.

What brand is that beast? I grew up with my parents ‘67 Plymouth station wagon with a 383ci “Commando” engine.

Plymouth Fury 3 to be specific.

Tailgunner was the best seat...

As obnoxious kids would make faces at the drivers behind them.

With the extra space when the back seat was folded down, Drive-In movie theaters, "Lover's Lanes", etc, etc, were a lot more "interesting" during inclimate weather.
