That is funny. How many young folks borrowed Mom and Dads car to go up to Mulholland? I did many time's in between down time with my own cars. I guess I should be asking how many of our parents cars came back from Mulholland with a "story" attached to it. Hummmmmmmm....a lot

I picture BIG American cars like Buick's, Cadillacs, Pontiac's, Custom Cruisers and Country Squire wagons.....
1) Hubcaps missing
2) Tires with rounded or cupped outside tread blocks.
3) Bent wheels
4) 3/4 of a tank of gas gone awol (really poor mileage!!!)
4) Burning smells
5) Kleenex box's crushed by feet
6) Items in trunk relocated by inertia
6) Headlamps mysteriously aimed high

on and on and on..........

ABSOLUTELY! I HAD MY OWN CAR BY THE TIME I DISCOVERED MULHOLLAND. BUT BEFORE I COULD AFFORD A CAR WE LIVED ON THE PRESIDO ARMY POST IN SAN FRANCISCO. ( GREAT ROADS IF YOU'RE EVER IN S.F. DRIVE THROUGH SOME TIME). I TOO WOULD PUSH THE 4,000 LB PONTIAC OUT OF THE GARAGE COAST DOWN A STEEP HILL STOPPING THE BEAST WITHOUT THE ENGINE AND PWR STREERING OR PWR BRAKES WORKING AT THE BOTTOM BEFORE FIRING IT UP. WE'D JOY RIDE AROUND S.F. AND ROAD RACE AROUND THE PRESIDIO. -- IF ONE COULD ACTUALLY CALL FLOGGING A 62 PONTIAC CATALINA AROUND TIGHT CORNERS ROAD RACING. HA, HA. DID LEARN ABOUT MASSIVE UNDERSTEER IN THAT CAR. FOUND IT DIDNT AGREE WITH ME. I NEVER THOUGHT TO LOOK IN THE TRUCK OR BACK SEAT TO SEE IF 'STUFF' BECAME RE-ARRANGED. LOL FOLKS NEVER MADE MENTION OF IT OR THEIR EXCESSIVELY WORN OUT FRONT TIRES. HMMMM. THINK THEY ALREADY KNEW?

If they only knew?
