      I’m using the meme to ironically play on a silly idea that America is in decline because it doesn’t produce cars as cool as the El Camino anymore.

        Got it. I hadn’t seen that one before.

        I love El Caminos. My best friend’s dad bought a 1974 beater when he and I were in middle school and we helped him restore it all through HS. His dad gave it to him as a HS graduation present.

          Sounds like your friend had a cool ass dad. El Caminos used to kind of scare me when I was a kid, but as I approach forty I’m starting to think that the guys who drove them had the right idea.
