I stopped by the local Ford dealership back in late '62 or early '63. I had heard that they had a new 1963 Corvette Stingray sitting on the lot. No idea why it was there, but there it was, a beautiful split window Vette. A thing of beauty. Made a big impression on this callow yute.
Off to the side, in the back, was a state police car. A Ford. Wrecked in a head-on collision. There were two human head sized holes in the windshield. That made an impression on me, too.
If cops' heads can go through a windshield in a collision then what chance do I have? Physics is the law.
So when we got a car with seat belts I didn't have to be told twice to use them.
Now when I get pulled over it's never for a seat belt violation.

Bad grammar, no seat belt and using the word "floor" when they mean "ground". That's all I needed to watch.
You did not stick around for the Australian?
Cah? "Your"? Dear God no.
Wow, takes all kinds, I guess. My Dad used the F word once, ONCE, in my presence when I was a kid. And even then he tried to snip it off.
Sixty, I was thinking that must be why they were honking.
And it looks like he wrote it on the back of a public street sign.
I don't like the idea of seatbelt laws (to each his own I guess) but that whole video made me nervous.
So Dad is in on it because there's a series of AngryDad videos from the same guy. He has to be playing along if there are that many "pranks" on Dad.
