Marisa looks fine, except for those fugly glasses. A better style would frame her face better, but she has a natural beauty I really like.
The years have been much less kind to me, that's for sure.

I was busy hoisting engines into B-24s that week! Of course I'm gonna sprout a little.

Tell us about you and your vehicle
Back to "your vehicle"... I bought a 2020 Subaru Forester Premium rcently. It came with all sorts of autonomous controls for my personal safety. I hate those.
I thought I could turn off most of them. Nooo...
I especially hate the automatic engine turn-off when stopped at a traffic light. I do local errands in a small crowded town. There is a button near the shift that supoosedly determines whether the shut-off function is on or off. The car shuts down either way.
Last week, the steering wheel pushed at me. Because (apparently) I had drifted "out of lane". I hadn't, but the car decided I had.
For the first time in my entire life, I have "the wrong car". I want a "stupid" car. I want a car that makes no decisions for me. What should I do?
Never try to catch a dropped kitchen knife!

No problem.
Does it make it better, or worse, that the other two ladies in the photo are Christie's daughters. Alexa Ray Joel (31, on the left) and Sailor Brinkley Cook (18, on the right)?
Christie looks great but she's had a facelift or two and some botox and lots of filler. She may have had her teeth veneered. It's a big deal in Hollywood. As you get older your teeth sort of sink and get gaps in them so actresses are having their teeth veneered. Jane Fonda talked about her veneers in an interview I was watching. She spent $55,000 dollars on the veneers.
That said, Christie has great bone structure and a very good starting point for a plastic surgery work more magic. And she smiles a lot. Makes her look younger and full of fun.
So, I'm going to try and save this hijacked thread by posting Michelle Obama and James Cordon singing karaoke in his.....CAR.
There's a reason this video has almost 77 million views. It's totally FUN!

Still, you won't find many (if any) women who look as good as Christie at 60+ even with twice the plastic surgery.
And in keeping with the thread:

Here's my vehicle! 2016 Toyota Corolla. At the drive-in a few days ago with my daughter to watch that 1980s classic The Goonies.
Do you recline (low rider), sit as if in a chair or try to see over the front? I need the seat to be high so I feel like I'm lording it over the other drivers.
Where do you grab the wheel? One hand or two? 10 and 2 but sometimes 4 and 8 if I'm feeling especially lazy.
How often do you exceed the speed limit? Quite often but only by about 5 mph. Most times even then, people are still whizzing past me.
Radio habits? (music,talk, commercial edit) NPR and pop music. Rush Limbaugh if I'm feeling masochistic that day.
Cell phone habits (be honest)? Never. No phone calls or texts. It's far too dangerous.
Fun Fact: The bumper sticker says "Santa Cruz". The car was rear-ended by another driver last year and the bumper was replaced, sans bumper sticker, sadly. I was in Santa Cruz again a few months later and tracked down the same bumper sticker to replace it and all was well with the world again.
ETA: This thread took a weird turn somewhere.

Yes, I only last for a few minutes too, on infrequent occasions. That's all I can take. It's sort of like slowing down to gawk while passing a car wreck. I know I shouldn't gawk but sometimes I can't help it!

I love that you went to a drive-in! That's so cool. I know one of the actors who was in The Goonies, the guy who played Mr. Perkins, Curt Hanson. I've never see the movie though.

Unluckyly VW decided to gradually step out of natural gas as fuel (due to poor sales). In Italy, wher diesel is more expensive than in Germany and natural gas is cheaper than in Germany, natural gas vehicle are a good compromise for environment & money savings.
I know Audi very well, I worked with them in developing the new Auspuff NOx free and PM10 free and the technology they exerimantally deploy to clean inner cities air (Audi branded containers on Frankfurt that suck air, filter it and put it back purified. Great concept but who is gonna pay for it?

What do you own?
Do you recline (low rider), sit as if in a chair or try to see over the front?
Where do you grab the wheel? One hand or two?
How often do you exceed the speed limit?
Radio habits? (music,talk, commercial edit)
Cell phone habits (be honest)?
Anything else you'd like to tell us.
Kia Sportage and Toytota Sienna, chair, left hand at 12 o'clock, always exceed but not more than 5 to 10 mph, all music with knee jerk commercial edit poking, don't own a cell phone.
2010 Chevy Malibu Chrome Edition it has 143,300 miles on it.
I sit straight with the lumbar support fully engaged.
How I grab the wheel depends on several things. Road conditions, weather conditions, how long I’ve been sitting there etc.
Do I speed? Well if I’m in my personal vehicle then on the highways I keep up with the flow of traffic. If that means I speed, then sure. I will not speed through residential areas or on non-highway roads with two lanes of traffic (both directions). In the company vehicle I never go more than five miles per hour over the limit because the sensors on the car will throw up a red flag and I’ll get a call from corporate.
Radio habits vary. Most mornings it’s the Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. After that it’s classic rock.
Cell phone is on the charger and I only use it if I’m stopped.

God meddles in the affairs of humans in a small part the Earth for 1500 years, giving one tribal society rules to live by.

Looks like they're all trucks and minivans. They're probably sitting on the truck bed watching the movie. A tailgate movie.

That does look strange
Most people brought their gigantic trucks and SUVs and sat in the truck beds or opened the rear of their SUV to watch the movie. Not many others had a normal car like us. I even brought a boom box to listen to the movie's audio outside and we sat in lawn chairs to watch it.
