All Comments on 'A Super Tuesday'

1968 was "bad times" for everyone, the country in particular. A few years later I sweated out the draft along with all my brothers in arms. Nixon's secret plan never came to fruition and Humphrey was a lost cause after Kennedy's death. Thanks for the story.

Nitpick - Service men and women women are Vets; Corvettes are Vettes!

Editing: "different sides of the political isle" - "Aisle," not "isle"!

You forgot to mention my 1980 4 door Chevette... 0-60 as fast as you can pedal!

Yes, a few mistakes like the "Vette" already pointed out. But, a nice read and thoroughly enjoyable so I gave you five stars.

Coors was sold east of the Mississippi back in the 60s

Coors was not sold east of the Mississippi in the 60's. lets all go watch Smokey and the bandit, east bound and down loaded up and truckin...

my 68 was a 327 3 speed rag top. loved that car

And, Coors was very limited east of the Mississippi in 1968. Especially in the north. Even then, they didn't like for it to get warm......

Gotta be a better way to impart so much info. People talking don’t give each other history lessons like that. Don’t need to; they’re living it.

I was there, a little younger than these two. My car was a 72 Nova with a 350 and three on the floor. Brand new, $2850. Thanks, Dad!

Shoot I was west of the Mississippi and the only way we got Coors was to import it ourselves. One frat house sent two guys in a Chevy van to colorado to buy a load of Coors and had campus buzzing with a Coors party. So it rang false for our characters to walk into a bar in WDC or surroundings and calmly order a Coors. Didn't happen. Period. Not in 1968. Not in 1974. You youngsters don't understand.

And people really did talk about the war and politics. I remember plenty of times and lots of pounding of tables. But not pounding each other. I think we were more willing to listen to each other. My whole family including my conservative Dad watched All in the Family every week and that got pretty political.

I am ashamed of my generation who were all for freedom and doing your own thing and now make laws and more laws such that many things we did are now felonies! We're as hypocritical as those we despised back then.

This read like a political tract with a slight overlay of romance. It brought me back to those days when people actually voted their conscience rather than blindly voting for a party. I admit that after utter confusion in the Johnson/Goldwater election I voted party line almost exclusively. A good read 4*

1968 Cameros didn't come with a V-6. The base engine was an in-line six.
