Momma – Speeding 72

I have been trying to remember this song and this band for weeks. The only thing I could remember was that the album cover had a blurry picture of what I swear is the same red Subaru my mom had decades ago. I finally found it again this evening so I am posting it to be sure I don’t lose it.

When I was driving home, in the pitch black at 5:00, I kept having to move my head to avoid being blinded by some giant SUV’s brights. I know these new LED headlights are definitely brighter, and if you are alone on a back road that’s great. But on the highway they are blinding. I feel like it’s actually dangerous. I long for the days when cars had lower profiles, like my mom’s old Subaru, or the Volvo in this video.

Speaking of driving home, we did end up replacing the alternator, serpentine belt, and two tires on my car. Fingers crossed that it is now in great shape for winter and can just have the usual oil changes. New windshield wipers are also due but I have been waiting for the trees in the driveway to stop dropping sap onto the cars. I will just need to keep an eye on the forecast and be sure to swap them out before the first winter storm.
