A rogue red and white vintage 1958 Plymouth Fury, affectionately named Christine by its previous now deceased owner, is bought for a measly $250 by a nerdy four-eyed teen named Arnie in the spring of 1979.
Hoping a hot car would merely improve his chances of getting laid … Arnie did not expect the Stephen King unexpected … yes, Christine is possessed by supernatural forces (of course!) and will murder whoever comes between her and her new man.
Rival gangs are run down in the street, prospective lays are choked with hamburgers in her backseat at the drive-in … who will be next… and how do you stop a jealous, uncompromising, homicidal female … car???
Now, let’s be honest. Who really needs a portable music listening device the size of your palm that stores thousands upon thousands of your favourite song and films and pictures, when you could grab yourself one of these - a portable record player.
That’s right, this baby runs on 6 D batteries and comes with a convenient carry handle and high quality slip mat to show off your scratching abilities. Perfect for when you next drop in on some unsuspecting friends who simply must take a listen to your latest 50 Guitars Go South of the Border record. And did I mention stylish, I think the promo shot (left) speaks volumes.
Carl's Cars is a quarterly magazine published in Oslo and distributed worldwide. A magazine that combines automotive style with fashion, music and design, the content is more about the personalities and stories entwined with vehicles, rather than machismo and oil rags.
Karl Erik Haug (Co-founder and Editor-in-Chief) recently explained the concept of the publication to Wallpaper: "Carl's Cars is about all the strange things people say, all the random stuff they do, and the cars the drive".
Recent articles have included, How to Give a Massage with a Toy Car and She-Devils on Wheels. Perfect.
