Dad reminisces about his cars. I first heard this monologue on a mix cassette in 1986. Tom re-released this on "orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards (2006)" disc 3, "Bastards", one of six spoken-word tracks (and a ton of other tracks).

  • @UMAMIMAMU Hee-hee--purely cosmetic!?! I guess you just set aside a couple hundred bucks for gas when you take that baby out for a spin...

    BTW, I listened to Funk for your Ass and got inspired to do a little bogey before work!

  • @jordinyc I heard it on there in the 80s and a friend had put it on several mix tapes for me as he knew how much it cracked me up. I haven't been able to find Smack my Crack; too bad 'cause there were some other treasures on that LP

  • @DrTmouth Four holer is in reference to a Buick's "ventiports", intake looking things on front fenders. While purely cosmetic, the number of "ventiports" was made to correspond to the engine in the car. A "four holer" contains a V8 while a "three holer" would have a V6. I have a "four holer" myself!!

  • @GammyGoose That's definitely my favorite part.

  • @DrTmouth Early to middle fifties Roadmasters

  • Anyone get this from the Smack My Crack LP? XD

  • @poolpig thank God you sorted that out for me!
