A manly car.

1. But it looks like a Barracuda!

[onehandle]

3. Heart. Just about the only act I didn't see in that era.

I is sad...

[Brother Buzz]

6. Looks like a '69 Dodge Charger to me

[csziggy]

7. OK it is a Charger - but Dodge Charger doesn't have a good song

While Barracuda does!

[Brother Buzz]

10. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down?

[pintobean]

12. A Mopar is a Mopar

Mostly old parts and rust.

Actually, I love the late 60s and early 70s Mopars.

[onehandle]

2. My Camaro has almost all of that.

Except the tire chains (I have thousand dollar snow rated tires), and the candles (I often have alcohol to do the trick onboard), and the snacks, (alcohol isn't a snack?).

Otherwise, my ride is pretty manly.

[RushIsRot]

4. Spare tire and jack optional?

[R B Garr]

5. Wait...paper maps? That can't be right.

I thought those things were obsolete now. Manly man now has his $600 SmartPhone all dialed in and mounted on his dashboard.

Does anyone even remember those Thomas Bros maps? I used to swear by those, but it's been years since I've had one.

8. I won't leave town without a road atlas.

GPS will tell you where you are and where to go to get there. But a road atlas is essential to finding alternate routes to avoid construction and accidents (not the minor detours either).

[Joe Shlabotnik]

14. +1 I still fall back on them from time to time

They're getting hard to find though, and pricey.

[jmowreader]

16. Go to a truck stop

EVERY trucker on the roads today carries an atlas.

[shenmue]

9. Cat litter?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

15. Toonces can only hold it for so long,

(unless he's on a mission and wearing kitty-Depends)

[mockmonkey]

18. For traction

For when you get stuck in the snow or on ice. This would be the cheap clay style cat litter not the clumping variety.

[shenmue]

19. Okay. Rock salt does the same thing...

so I was wondering if maybe it's manly to let the cat drive.

[mockmonkey]

20. One of them...

is going to have to push!

[shenmue]

21. Oh yeah!

[Bertha Venation]

11. "Strong enough for a man --

but made for a woman."

[HeiressofBickworth]

13. While on a road trip with my granddaughter last year

I saw the limitations of a Garmin or other GPS. She did the driving (my mistake -- she's awful) she did a good job of following the driving instructions (Seattle to Denver and back through Utah), she had no idea where we were in relation to other states or in the country in general. She related only to the area displayed on the screen. Although we were a couple of days on the road, she really has no concept of the distance we traveled.

I travel with a GPS, but I also travel with a RandMcNally road atlas. I also have an emergency bag in the trunk -- hand-cranked radio/flashlight, change of clothes, extra sweatshirt and shoes, water bottles, fleece blanket, jumper-cables and two axes (one small, one large). Oh, and most importantly TOILET PAPER.

17. A real man's car will have one of these in it

[Throd]

23. +426!

I love how the intake manifold is wider than it is long.

[hifiguy]

27. Dual quads are pretty stufly, alright.

Gotta love that two gallons per mile!

[Ryano42]

22. Save that beautiful Muscle Car for VFR conditions!

If you are really packing all that stuff put it in this, a REAL Cherokee:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

25. nice ride. n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. What? No Bourbon? n/t

[Laffy Kat]

26. I'm so glad I'm a woman.

Couldn't afford all that stuff!
