Allen Forkum came up with this spoof of Eastwood's "Gran Torino" for the humor column in his paper next month. I was happy to help out.

"Ya feelin lucky, hippies?
Look up and down the streets to what your kind did to Detroit. Now what do you think will stop a widowed retired autoworker with terminal cancer from using you for target practice? "

I haven't seen it... but I heard the Eastwood character "assumes room temperature" at the end of this one.
Will the hippies kill us with their good intentions & absence of intellect?

I was thinking that the "eco-freaks" would want us to go back to the days of the ox-cart, but then I remembered - oxen bad; all that methane flatulence.

Clint Eastwood (levelling his Garand at the hippies): "Get off my lawn!"

Two problems here: 1. Only the upperly mobile in their 50's or 60's can afford a Gran Torino today. 2. Eventually, we are all going to look like that.

There were a couple fairly cherry Gran Torinos around here not that long ago. They were Granny Torinos (green with a white vinyl top & baby blue with a black vinyl top), but they were both less than 5 figures. Both were 2-doors, & I think both were bought by "mod squad" guys. It'll be interesting to see what they're like when they resurface.
