Automobiles and songwriting...

It's really thoughtful of you to want to get your terminology correct in your songwriting. One of my favorite country tunes of late is Brooks & Dunn's "Red Dirt Road"... I really like the tune... but I wince every time I hear the line "...her Daddy didn't like me much, in my 'shackled up GTO'..." Apparently Brooks & Dunn didn't care as much about correct terminology as you do because GTO's are coil spring rear suspension automobiles and shackles can only be used to raise or lift the rear of leaf spring rear suspended cars. Like Brad says... "...when you're a Celebrity, it's adios reality..."
