Back Seat Mysteries

Apparently, when I was a wee lad, my father had a dream-come-true.  His dream car, his utopia on wheels, pulled up onto his driveway.  My dad was the proud owner of a Chrysler Cordoba.  This boat of a car became the family vehicle of choice for transporting, or should I say, ferrying, my sister and [...]
