That's what I was wondering as well.  Had a former co-worker have his wife take some spray paint to his truck when he was caught cheating.

A guy I worked with about 10 years ago had a then-new Ford Raptor...had a falling out with his wife, she broke out all the windows.. then dumped a couple gallons of gasoline in the driver's seat and lit it up..

Road rage maybe?  Might have made someone mad. 

Where I go vacationing in Colorado in the summertime, soft dents only on the front = sudden deer or elk encounter. Soft dents everywhere and no windows? Likely a very angry human.

Or cheating spouse.  I know someone whose wife did that to their truck. 

Years ago, and recently divorced I had the fender and door of a new Camaro kicked in while parked in front of where I was living. Could never prove it but would have been like her to do it.

I was in San Diego years ago in a parking lot waiting to take my wife to lunch. A car came screaming to a halt in front of a fairly new early 80's Camaro. The guy jumps out and attacks all the windows of the Camaro with a tire iron. Busted all the windows except the driver's (it was rolled down a bit and just flexed). He hopped in the car and drove off. We called the cops, and it turns out it was his car and they wouldn't do anything about it. Apparently he and his wife were having some troubles.

It must be nice to live in places where there is no snow come this time because then the classics don't really hibernate. Up here once December hits you don't see a thing for months. But once I did see a 1966 Thunderbird as late as November 28th, at a Tim Horton's, and a '56 GMC driving around as early as the first week of March. Snow was still persistent both times.

Picked my truck up from the shop, and this beauty was sitting there....

My grand parents had one just like it in dark blue.  Even had curb feelers.  Fond memories.  Traded it in for one of the early Valiants, which even at 6-7 years old I thought was a backward step.

I was just a child when these were first introduced and for whatever reason I thought this would be a great family car and was trying to talk my father into buying one. His argument was that it looked like an upside-down bathtub. He may have been correct, and we drove on in our new '49 Ford. Still, this body style just still holds an attraction and can't really say why.

‘69 Pontiac it looks like.  Missing some of the shiny trim around the taillights. 

All I know is it sounded good, and I seen the class he runs on the window. There's a few older guys with pretty fast old street cars in that area, I see them often in the summer

69 Catalina.  Bonneville would have an "Endura" pad in that recess in the rear bumper.

I used to read them as a kid and teenager.  My late brother loved them.  He bought a lot of stuff from them for his cars.  Some of his cars he couldn’t resist putting a lot of stick on stuff on.  Not as bad as that smart car, but a lot…
