Pontiac-Tom Waits

[00:12.45](Waits) [00:12.60]Well let's see, we had the eh, we had the Fairlane. [00:15.84]Then the u-joints went out on that and the bushings and then your mother wanted to trade it in on the Tornado, so we got the Tornado. [00:24.45]God, I hated the color of that son of a *****. [00:27.27]And the dog destroyed the upholstery on the Ford. [00:31.92]Boy, that was long before you were born. [00:34.92]We called it the Yellowbird, two-door, three on the tree. [00:38.94]Tight little mother. [00:39.93]Threw a rod, sold it to Jacobs for a hundred dollar. [00:44.04]Now the Special eh, four-holer, you've never seen body panels lining up like that. [00:48.93]Overhead cam, dual exhaust. [00:50.55]You know I had, let's see I had, four Buicks, loved them all. [00:58.32]Now your Uncle Emmet, well he drives a Thunderbird, it used to belong to your Aunt Evelyn. [01:03.75]Now, she ruined it, drove it to Indiana with no gear oil. [01:08.16]That was the end of that! [01:10.80]Sold that Cadillac to your mom. [01:12.72]Your mom loved that Caddy. [01:14.10]Independent rear suspension, [01:15.54]Landau top, good tires. [01:17.07]Gas hog. [01:18.69]I swear it had the power to repair itself. [01:22.59]I love the old, Dan Steele used to give 'em to me at a discount. [01:26.01]Showroom models and that. [01:28.26]And then there was the Pontiac and... [01:32.31]God, I loved that Pontiac. [01:38.22]Well, it was kind of an ox-blood. [01:42.78]It just kinda handled so beautifully. [01:46.65]Yeah, I miss that car. Well, it was a long time ago, a long time ago.
