Baby blue, vinyl top, four door, LTD? Grandpa citizen car, soccer-mom before there was soccer, trade for a minivan, drop me a block from school before somebody sees us, so uncool it's warm.

My first car was a 1977 Ford LTD Brougham. Painted silver by the previous owner via Krylon cans and it had the blue top. Didn't even make it home before dying.
I spent a long time cursing my father for talking me out of the Camaro and into this heap. Once I got a bit older and wiser, I realized that I would surely have crashed the Camaro within the first year. I also realized that I now was capable of most any minor to intermediate repair on a car due to my father having taught me how to repair that junker, one breakdown at a time. Now, I bless his wisdom, although I never got around to telling him so. One of my few regrets in life. |

The one in my pic is most likely a big-block car. The guy builds/restores muscle cars and hot rods. It was probably bought out of grandpa's barn for the drivetrain.
For several years in my teens, the fastest car in town was an old (older than the one in my pic) LTD, big block, straight pipes, and, in a time when cars were being jacked up in the rear to allow for bigger tires, this one sat level and low, and was insanely quick. It had "The Boss" painted on both rear quarter panels. And it was.

Brembo carbon ceramic rotors with aluminum 6-piston monobloc fixed front calipers; aluminum 4-piston monobloc fixed rear calipers. Half the reason it cost money to go fast.

An apparently 2 wheel drive 2015 GMC Sierra makes it up the Kamloops WidowMaker Hill:
That seems to be pretty hardcore.

It's not power, but momentum and reaction that makes it. I wonder if he had ballast in the bed?

If you don't nip that shit in the bud, it leads to the hard stuff, like this poor Corona...
