I'm an auto journalist (one of the few that doesn't abuse press cars, as a matter of fact), and own a couple classics myself: a 1965 Chevrolet Malibu and a 1974 Oldsmobile Omega. I've been told that the Omega is not a classic, but and I quote, "the automotive embodiment of economic marginalization." And I'm ok with that. If there is hope, it lies with the proles, wot?
