Has to be real, and is/was available.

I had a 1977 Celica GT liftback . I loved that car.  Besides doing everything I could on my meager income to hop it up, it was the best kitty magnet in the world. 

This car is nearly identical, except mine was black

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Senior year of HS, a buddy of mine told me about a mechanic that he worked with wanting to unload his Chevelle....."its blue with white stripes" is all he told me.  

When I saw it,  I had to have it.  1972 Chevelle SS454 Convertible clone, blue with white stripes and a white top, cowl induction hood and black interior.  I bought it for $3500 that I saved up painting houses.  

Purchased in Feb of 88, caught on fire August of 88.  Sad day.  Wish I had it now.  Some day Ill find another one.....

leaky fuel lines, i bet.. a lot of those gm era had shitty rubber.

i had a 71 Buick Skylark GS, which si the same body and nearly the same engine as that chevelle.  i put a holley carb on it and the fuel line crumbled, so i replaced all the rubber lines i could find!

I had a damn "82 Toyota Corona station wagon. It did NOT pull the wool  ;D

My dream car at the time: Porsche 928 s4. Of course, that would have been in my wildest dreams. Would still love to own one.

My first car



Mustang yes. Real Mustang no.

My friend though had parents who loved him and got him a real babe magnet to drive in High School, so I always made him drive.



1969 Cougar convertible. I still love that car. He sold it before I could buy it for myself and restore it.

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

actual car:   shit brown 1970s ford LTD with seven seatbelts and vinyl seats (also shit brown).   Had one window track busted so wooden wedges held up the passenger side window.   Had one blinker as a dangling bulb with no lens on it.   Slipped between first and second in the auto trans so you had to floor it and then let off quickly for it to go thunk into second...otherwise it would just slip forever.

loved it.


dream car?   one girl at school had a dad who owned an exotic car dealership.   She occasionally drove this one red 911.  customized slant nose so the front end just disappeared without those traditional 911 lights.   I can see that car in my head to this day.   It might help that her HS boyfriend was an ass so I was the rebound sensitive band geek scrawny but good listener type senior year then....I learned to heal and toe in that car (and as a gentleman I will say that is all I learned)  

;D

1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6  2.5 V6 black leather interior


It was my dream car, and I saved up working construction jobs for two years to buy it.  That car definitely helped me pull some quality tail.  I was also one of six people in my highschool to have a car so you could say it stood out a little. 

I ended up giving the car away a few years ago because it was sitting, broken down, in my parents driveway.

1980 Chevy Luv

Not this exact one, mine was white and black.
I solve my problems like an adult, at the strip club drinking on a work night.
