Wow, I went to A school in February 79. Heavy Equipment Operator got stationed in transportation at the A school and then went into 74 . Got out in 83. Lucky I did 9 months in the Philippines and almost a year total in PR.

[@daveth121864]

I loved this song during its short life on the charts in 1980. This was back in the day when I would have to sit around the radio all day waiting for it to be played. I spent the next 17 years looking for a recording, to no avail. And then, miracle of miracles, it appeared in Boogie Nights. I stopped on the way home from the theater to pick it up at a record store. Now thanks to the web, I have a dozen remixes and other creative variations of this song delivered to my hard drive with but a the click of the mouse.

[@sherihoward9461]

One of the best songs… still listening 2013 ❤

[@davidkotras7147]

Just saw an interview with Paul Roberts, the band leader, who claimed that the song wasn't written as a driving song. It's a song about getting back "on your feet" after a breakup. Being the driver requires inner strength with the ability to look ahead. Now I know what he meant by the line "What can I do when I remember my time with you?"

[@mikerobo2112]

Most top 40ish songs used metaphors for that.

[@ellzedd4113]

The Woman ♀️ in the video Is ABSOLUTELY Beautiful!! 1978, when this tune dropped, I was 17 years old and I think about what I have been through since 2010 until now, brain surgery, resetting my nose, heart failure and recently lymphoma cancer and now approaching 63 in November, when most people who meet me now, can't even believe that I am older than 44!! I don't know how old that young lady is in the video, but she is Stunning! Love her eyes and smile!! Simply Captivating and Alluring!! 😅😅

I recall driving my 70 Plymouth Duster 340 ci in 1979 with my GF from high school by my side. This song was playing on my car radio as we drove over a tall bridge. The window was down and the summer breeze was blowing through her hair as the sun glinted upon her pretty face. She was wearing a summer dress and looked so pretty. We didn’t work out, however we are still friends to this day. 🥰

[@TWayneD1020]

That 340 was one powerful engine❤. I had one put in my, then, 1966 Plymouth Satilite !! Later had a 1970 Challenger which had a 340 in it. My brother had a 1970 Duster that had one in it. One powerful engine !! Thanks for sharing 👍!!

Today I have listened to this song about 14 or 20 times, and I always listen to it in its entirety, I simply cannot stop it before the end. I would like it to continue for much longer! It has been reminding me of someone who is no longer on this existential plane. It doesn't make me sad, rather it strengthens me.
