Some trivia: did you know you can fit 17 high-schoolers into a 1979 Caprice Classic station wagon if you stack them like cordwood. You just have to be real careful and stop at the gas station and fill up the air-shocks that my dad installed for towing. (Don't tell my mom)
It wasn't MY car, but it was one that was early in my driving history.
