I think the show was almost a precursor for the generation: No one really wanted to be that guy in the station wagon (tho most of us did eventually sell out.) Everyone wanted to be Bronson. And I can tell you for certain that spirit still lives. As I grew a little older, kids grew up, started college and began to move on, I was able to fulfill a dream by purchasing a Harley. I can tell you that wherever I go RIDING, people want to talk to you, find out where you are going - curiosity and envy - just like the 'station wagon guy.' Nobody ever cared where the 'station wagon guy' was going. We all knew. We'll never know of course (since it is, after all, fiction) whether the suit ever was able to break free. But a lot of us did. Better late than never. Never give up on your dreams.
