1967 Buick Skylark

It sounds like an SNL skit but it's a true story about a 1967 Buick Skylark and two Nova Scotia brothers, eh? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/halifax-brothers-stand-trial-standoff-at-border-1.5047429

"Munn said that in interviews, the brothers claimed they had no intention of committing a terrorist act and no political motivations...
"To use the words of Bailey Roy himself during an interview, essentially what they had done was 'stupid,'" Munn said.
"Neither brother had a criminal record.
"The Crown is recommending a sentence actually less than the time they served in custody at this point," Munn told the judge. "Between three to four months would be appropriate.
"This was more stupid than it was criminal."
