    Whiskey Bottle, Brand New Car: Gary Rossington's Torino

    First of all, apologies for the crappy quality of the image above; we scoured the internet for literally dozens of minutes and this was the best we could do. Since we've decided to follow up International Corinthian Leather Day with Intergalactic Malaise Era Torino Day, it's only right that we mention one of the most famous Torinos of them all: the 1976 Torino (equipped with vinyl top, of course) that Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington rammed into a tree, a telephone pole, and a house after passing out drunk behind the wheel. This incident served as the inspiration for the 70s "do as I say, not as I do" anthem "That Smell." [Official Lynyrd Skynyrd History Site]
