My first car was a ’74 Chevelle Malibu. 16 year old me really had no business having that much horsepower at my command. Luckily for the people I shared the road with, it was also a gas hog that became too expensive to maintain, so off it went.

And so it was that I found myself senior year with a much safer-and much less sexy- 1981 Honda Civic wagon.

Light green with a huge dent in the door, it had sketchy brakes and a clutch that always seemed one step from total failure (snap shifting is a lost art, IMO).

But what it did have was a great sound system. And if you lived in Beaverton Oregon in 1992, you heard this coming out of the speakers. A lot. Loudly.

This song was played on the way to shows, on the way to the beach, and on all those drives to nowhere every kid and his friends take.
