Not the best car to drive away from a wedding in.

Depends on whether you're talking before or after the ceremony. Appropriately quick, agile, try-to-catch-me-if-you-can if driving away before the ceremony.....

I had a similar shot taken at my wedding, just not in a Locost.

That's why we used a Miata for our wedding. The outward charm of an LBC mixed with Japanese reliability. Its "quick, agile, catch-me-if-you-can" abilities still came in handy before the ceremony too...But that's because I was running a bit behind and knew that while a wedding might not be able to start without a groom, it can certainly end without one.

I know the feeling. All the lugs started falling off my car on the way to the apt. to change into my wedding clothes. I had to arrange for someone to pick me up, find a car to leave the wedding from and then had to switch wheels & tires before we could leave on our honeymoon. I arrived just 10 minutes before the wedding was to begin and no one had told my wife to be that I wasn't there yet.

So even tho we had a 3:00 wedding we didn't get to leave town till 9:00.

My now brother-in-law locked the keys in the trunk of his 67 camaro at my sisters wedding. Fortunately the rear seat back comes out with just a couple bolts from the inside.

Well I chased my wife until she caught me.
Then we drove off into the sunset, in my 1960 Ford Falcon with a 1966 mustang k code 289, actually it was dark by the time we got out of the reception.
One sweet woman, one fast car, still got the woman 47 years later, wish I still had the car.
