My Dad owned this vehicle when I was a kid. I remember thinking it was hilarious to be able to watch the highway go by through the floor.

I always loved how in spite of everything else, the radio was OK.

As a native "Yooper" myself from the Copper Country, I remember this band very well. They gave us many hours of fun and laughter. My thanks to them.

Everyone is here after watching that one YT short... And then realising it's older than YT itself

This song has a special place in my heart. I owned a 1988 Chevy Celebrity (purchased new) that I finally said goodbye to in 2021. It had 513, 779 miles on it. Still had the original engine that worked fine. AC and radio long stopped working, but it was warm as toast inside during cold weather. Three of the four power windows worked, as well as the cigarette lighter (I don't smoke, so it was never really used). Shocks and struts were shot, but when it was on the highway it was smooth sailing just like the day I drove it off the dealer's lot. Chrome bumpers and whitewall tires. What finally forced me to give it up was when I was told it would not pass inspection because the undercarrige rust was pretty bad (30 plus years of New York State winters will do that). Boy, do I miss that car!

I once walked out of burger king and saw my girlfriend ducttapeing her car back together... I married her

R.I.P. Shopko, Wisconsin will miss you and the history.

My local radio station used to play this every year around the holidays before it changed formats and became a K-Love station. Great memories. RIP All Hit 98.9FM

We used to sing a song like this in elementary school, it went
“Driving through the snow
In a broken Chevrolet
Through the fields we go
Crashing all the way
The snow is turning red
I think I might be dead
I wake up in the hospital with stitches in my head”

If anyone is wondering why this video has so many recent comments or why the algorithm has chosen you to see it, its because someone used this song in a BeamNG short which exploded in views, and in turn everyone came to find the full song, which in turn made youtube's algorithm to see this video as significant, which in turn sends it to everyone who watched anything remotely within the last 2 weeks gets to see it

I love how this is a 8yr old song and people got recommended this or the Beamng stuff and now that led them to this gem. I fricking love Christmas.

[Olflix]

"The radio its okay" is the christmas equivalent to "everybody but your dog"

[hotwax]

As a Troll (as Yoopers call us residents of Michigan's Lower Peninsula), I listen to this at least once every Christmas.

[newcownet]

I like how as it gets closer to Christmas people come back to this video. It’s 8 years old and I’m seeing hour old comments

[EganSynowiec]

My grandpa showed me this song about 2 years ago, and I can't stop listening every Christmas season, it is way too good!!!

[MichaelODell-jzyt]

This song fits me well. Had a 1978 Chevrolet Chevette. Car sat all winter long one year and it rusted something terrible. Floorboard rusted through. Quarter panels rusted totally through. Muffler fell off it. Driver's side door wouldn't shut and I had to hold it closed with a C clamp. Heater went out of it. Frame was bent from getting hit in the side. Only thing good about the car was the motor. Didn't leak a single drop of oil. Motor ran like a sewing machine. Didn't have much giddy up go power but it went down the road pretty good.

Everyone stand for the Michigan anthem

In January of 1994 I was born at Bell Memorial hospital in Ishpeming. It was probably fate that I became a fan of Da Yoopers, eh? I never heard this on the radio, surprisingly, but I do listen to this every year. Sharing this with friends has become a tradition.

[StellarYankee]

My local radio station has started playing this during the Christmas season and I LOVE IT

[Imtherobv]

Every year, like clockwork, I return to this gem.
Happy holidays from 2024!
