    This was a sort of theme song for a trip to Kauai. We drove a lot, and this song was played a lot on the local radio station. It’s very evocative for me.

    When this song was popular I was young and the whole of my future was ahead of me and hopeful and optimistic. I had my first car – bought on part-time fast food wages and seasonal neighborhood lawn care cash and receipts from repaired electronics – a ’69 MGB that leaked everything and periodically caught fire and was so wonderfully noisy and windblown and impossibly joyful that we’d find a way to squeeze four of us into its two seats and package shelf and tear around like racing with no destination.

    The car in the video is an Austin Healy, but a close enough relative that my friends called this “the MG song.”

    I miss all of it.

    Michael Verona​, my dad’s friend used to restore Austin Healys, so I can relate.

    My dad used to race Austin-Healeys. 🙂

    (No, he didn’t win much until he switched to Mazda.)

    I’ve seen 3 or 4 of your 80s music posts so far, and they’re really taking me back. High school and crazy hair and learning to drive and summer camp and a rush to grow up.

    As I said, Marla Caldwell​, I was wallowing in the 80s. High school had mostly good memories for me. I did some dumb crazy stuff back then, but I don’t regret it.

    I don’t regret much of anything. There’s a couple of things I’d do differently if I had them to do over, but everything up to now has made me who I am.

    Jessica Carrasco​, if the kids start calling this classic music, then we’re old.
