My husband and I will always stop the car to check out cool signage and architecture from the 50s. I could feel your disappointment with a remodeled interior.

Thaaaaat's better.<br /><br />I laughed at your valet comments...LORD DO I SYMPATHIZE. "Now, you're gonna want to click the remote key lock thing because the driver's side door lock does *not* work. Also, you have to click it twice to lock all four doors. Also, please do not tramples the scattering of tourist pamphlets and Judy Garland cds in and around the floorboard. Also, do not judge me for the perma-smell of Sonic emanating from the interior."
