Thank you for sharing. I found it enlightening and distressing as well.
Jowhorenalism students begin semi-literate and if they follow leftist guidelines remain so.
Also, I learned to drive in 1972 in that exact model Plymouth with my brother (who owned the car) in the passenger seat for most of the ride. Had a 3-speed column shifter and clutch. Boy what fun. But it was a blast. Especially when he let me drive solo after my third time out.
Never had such a thrill again until I soloed in gliders, then SE light planes (then high-powered aerobatics) decades later.
Thanks for the memories.
Back when we had great journalists there was no such thing as journalism school. You became a reporter out of high school, back when high schools used to teach or maybe studied some racist subject in College like English literature or [non-woke] history or something.
You had a usable 1937 in 1970? Wow, didn’t see too many outdated cars then, never mind now.
