Not the best suspension these cars. The title reminded me of Whiskey in the jar by Thin Lizzy Pete. I could see the likeness between driving this car and playing rock music, both are raw to boot.

[Pete]

yes, probably a lot of bathroom stops driving in one of them as you're bounced around. good song you mention. the singer played that huge bass guitar. both car and music will rock and roll you for sure.

I love the image of this wild and crazy lady driving as fast as the it would take her and not giving a s**t of getting busy or what others might think. A Bonnie without a Clyde

[Pete]

lol. there's something liberating about throwing caution to the wind and just doing whatever we want, when we want. some people get a thrill and get off on risk and danger.

[Poetic Beauty]

Yes that is very true

Even tho' I am an old car buff, I still wonder just what she might have done in that missing rumble seat

[Pete]

actually, the ford model t (tin lizzie) didn't come with a rumble seat, only the model a did i believe.

[Dave Brown]

that is a crushing response.
Here I am supposed to be an old car buff and I missed realizing what must be as obvious a fact as any and puts at risk my understanding of what at first appears to be a simplistic offering??
Possibly because there was no Thoreau lead-in on this sly little offering
I suppose the other thing is that I don't appreciate such vehicles in their stock configuration and I, at the risk of being wrong again, would suggest she would get much more of a thrill driving that vehicle
if it was powered by a twin supercharged, small block putting out 900+HP, or the like.
Just saying
Yuh know

Have a lovely day
