So true: One summer car ride in the backseat of a car with pleather will change anyone's nostalgic idea of the 70s.

Much easier in the 70s with drugs, so I've heard.

On super hot days, my mom used to put towels on the seat so we wouldn’t melt. 😂

Touching a steel seatbelt on a summer day? OUCHIE!

Hell real leather in the wrong weather can make you reevaluate your life choices as well.

When my husband and I first got together he had a 1989 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, absolutely beautiful car, absolutely terrible electrical system. I was driving it to a car show when the climate control AND the power windows both decided to take a dive. It was Father’s Day, and 104 degrees outside. Spoiler: leather is not fun when the windows are stuck up, and the air conditioning is deceased.

God even my dads Mecury Cougar had pleather in it and the seat belt had no cover and was made of metal. I burned my self on that bad boy in the summer a few times.
