An older man and woman had been married for over 5 decades. One of their favorite activities was taking a cruise in the man’s 1960 Chevy, a car he had owned since High School and the car that he drove to pick her up for their first date. They drove away from the chapel in it and brought each of their children home from the hospital in it. The vehicle was as much a part of the family as any inanimate object could be.

One Sunday while on a drive the conversation turned reminiscent.

“Honey,” said the wife, “Do you remember our first date?”

“Sure do, you wore that blue dress and we went to the drive-in.”

“Do you remember that summer? You would drive and I would cuddle into you as we went down the road?”

“Sure do. that was a great summer.”

“I loved sitting with you on this bench seat, so close and in love. I wish we still did that.”

The man looked over at her in the passenger seat, and down at the steering wheel.

“I didn’t move.”

He will be missed.

Seems to me like the man implies she reminisces about past romance when she is in fact the one who stopped sitting closely to him. He can’t have moved because the driver’s position can't change? I think I get it, not sure. Seems cute.

She was reminiscing about when she used to cuddle into her husband while he was driving due to the bench seat and that she missed doing that. He is basically saying that she still can as he didn’t move and is still in the same spot to do that.

Stickshifts and safetybelts
Bucket seats have all got to go
When we’re driving in the car
It makes my baby seem so far

A lot of good cars are Japanese.

I figured that out as soon as I posted it, when I realized who was saying what.

Yeah, I figured it out right after I posted it. You must have loaded it in the 30 seconds that comment was visible before I edited. I guess I’m not ninja enough.

So... she fell out of love with him, he’s still in love with her and she served (or will be serving) him divorce papers soon?

But then why would he be missed?

This actually folded down to meet the back seat

And the entire dash lit up
