Another car which can be seen cruising the campus is the four-wheel drive sportscar made, but if it doesn't have tunes, it won't l make it. Some cars on campus are implanted with music sys- tems more valuable than the automobile itself. MAKES One of the most popular Hampden-Sydney cars is the family station wagon. These cars are usually passed down from a Hampden-Sydney mother to her son when he goes off to College. One of the most important qualities of this car is the large number of people that can be packed in for a road trip. Some wagons Scout, jeep. Bronco, or Blazer. These gis- guzzling monsters f are very popular with students who live off-campus because they often need four-wheel drive to negotiate the rocky, muddy, unpaved roads where they live. tThis is all well and good except that they rarely attempt to get to class when it snows, telling their professors that they were snowed in.j These vehicles also come in handy during hunting season and for tailgating during football season.
