What did you drive? Here was my main car:



Here is what I have now. I bought it from my friend who drove it in high school:

I don't see anything....

Weird.

Remember the Stephen King movie Christine? I had one of those

Freshman-sophomore years it was a twin to this one. Minus the mud flaps.




Junior-senior it was a couple different used reg cab F150's.

Mine was like this, a white 1970 Torino gt with a 351/Cleveland.

It was blue when I got it, it was my first project. Painted white with single stage dupont centari.

Mine had keystone classic wheels on it.

1974 Z-28, 350 CID, 4-barrel, 4-speed. Fast, rough, and thirsty.

Sweet!

A Kelly Green 1968 Mercury Cougar. It had a souped up 302 and a Hurst 3 speed manual. That thing was fast. Shag carpet in the dash and on the floor with an 8 Track player for tunes. The interior lights were painted red so if you left them on when you were driving at night the interior kinda glowed.

We were not in that much of an affluent community. Probably less than 6 kids drove a car to high school out of a class of about 120 seniors.
Our family as4 kids, and we only had one car for the family.

Me being the youngest, it was a rare occasion that I got the car on a Friday or Saturday night. Even at that it was a 52 Chevy station wagon

When I was 18, I bought this 97 Ram Van.

I know where there's a burnt orange one sitting. I believe it belonged to the guy's mother who bought it new.

A Jeep CJ-7. Rolled and totalled it halfway through my first year of college. Replaced it with a CJ-5.

Just out of school I had one of these with the 429CJ and 4 speed, fun car and wish I still had it!

pic of a pic......senior year....'68 Dodge Dart GTS 340 4 speed

Rag top no less...bought it in '69 for $2400 w/21K miles...

OMG..wish I still had it..........

I had a sweet ass 1981 amc concord. Before you laugh...it was a 4 door so there! Oh yeah, and it was a wagon. Don't you worry though, it only burned a quart of oil every 40 miles. And just to make you really jealous...it had a roof rack. Yep! A chrome one!

'79 Trans AM. Same color as this one. Had T-Tops, loved that car. Lot of fun was had in that car.

I went to high school that the bus didn't run to where I lived. Got my license in January of my freshman year (you could get a license then at 15) and drove every day from then on.

In senior year I only needed 4 hours of whatever and 1 hour of english (they let you go half days back then as a senior). I took 4 hours of auto mechanics in the morning then an english class. LOTS of fun. I got to leave 1/2 the time to go pick up parts or whatever. We built a Super Gas legal '67 Chevelle with a 396. LOTS of fun. I helped on the engine build and did the sheetmetal work on the interior. We had other guys who did the body work and paint etc..LOTS of fun lol.

79 Chevy Custom Deluxe(yeah right), I-6, 3 on the tree
and
71 MACH I

Damn, I wish I could post pictures.

My car was a 72 Chevy Nova SS. It was actually a real SS, not a regular Nova with the SS emblem. It was Fire Engine Red with an original black vinyl top. It had a Muncie 4 speed, factory in dash tach, and the gauges were in the console, in front of the shifter. It had a 350, four bolt main with a 3.73 rear end. I sure miss that car. We will be restoring my wife's 68 Camaro in the next few years, so that will be fun!
