Apparently she bought a brand new ‘69 Charger with the six pack. She liked that it was roomy and had a large trunk. She got rid of it because it squealed the tires every time she touched the gas and it embarrassed her, lol. She was 68 years old at the time. She wouldn’t let my pawpaw drive it because “he liked to drink”.

No she didn't. 1969 Charger wasn't available from the factory with a 440-6 pack. Sorry memaw.

Man, idk, the point is the same. Mawmaw was embarrassed burning the tires in her “grocery car”.

If she didn't drive like Mario Andretti she wouldn't have that problem. Was she wearing brick shoes?

Her buying a BB Charger is a cool enough story on it's own without the BS thrown in.

My 4th grade teacher was about a million years old, mean as a snake, and drove a shiny new Olds 442. I never saw her go over 30-35 mph...

I'm jealous of your mawmaw. I was 28 when the 69 Charger was new. I wanted one badly, but could not afford the $3500 sticker price. I had to settle for a two-year-old Mustang.

That’s not the only thing that was squealing in her car.
