Three friends reminisce about their first cars and the freedom, breakdowns, and bizarre incidents that came with teenage car ownership in the 1990s.
• Jay's "Red Wolf" - a maroon Ford Taurus that cost $500 and lasted only a week before breaking down
• Chris's 1977 gold Pontiac Catalina with bench seating that received an unintentional tattoo imprint during a romantic encounter
• Tony's Plymouth Reliant with a DIY "dookie brown" paint job that survived repeated abuse but eventually caught fire
• Firefighters using Tony's burning car as an impromptu training exercise, putting axe holes in every body panel
• The origin story of Tony's car being sold by a father who caught his son planning to drink and drive
• Discussion about the future of automobiles, including predictions about self-driving cars and flying vehicles
