Dang son, it looks like you pretty much fill those cars up!!! Raced a little on asphalt around the SE, but only once on the dirt. Oh yeh, and once on cinders in Va (iirc).

I've always considered any man who has only one gun to be dangerous ... he probably knows how to use it!!!Only got one gun

The type makes little difference ... if he has only one, he probably knows how to use it well!!!And they make fun of my only gun too.

Blackfeather, a good deal of my misspent youth was misspent in a 1971 GTO Convertible! Belonged to a good friend of mine in high school. Rare bird that one...only 671 built if memory serves. I love that car!

My first car was a 1966 Mustang...notchback with a six and an automatic. My parents knew me too well! My dad got it when I was 14, so I would have it ready to drive when I was 16! He taught me a lot of lessons getting that car ready, and I for sure never wrecked it because I knew what it took to get on the road. When I was 17, he let me buy an MG because I wanted a convertible. Again, $275 of my own dollars and lots of sweat. Pretty smart of them actually. I was working to buy parts for that thing, or working on it. Kept me out of trouble. Really smart, in retrospect!

I like the vintage photos when I can spot cool vintage iron in the background. Growing up in the 80's was perfect...just used cars then, not a "collector car" so prices were cheap and they were all over.

Oh, and Wirenut that Dart GT was a real sleeper. I would love one today for a daily driver!

My earlier rides in HS and college were an ‘83 Z28 HO, ‘86 IROC, Cessna 152 & 172, and a Marlboro Z71 Silverado.
Yes, I was the “Marlboro Man” for 4 yrs in my early 20s

Always loved the look and feel of the early Mustangs. When I got out of college and got a suit and tie job, I was without adult supervision. As a result, lots of cars and bikes! Here is a fastback '67 Mustang with a warmed up 289 and three at the knee. Great around town car, always in the power band! Those with sharp eyes will spot the Dodge wheels. I was restoring a 1971 Dodge Challenger convertible with a 383 Magnum and a slap stick...the wheels got finished so I put them on the Mustang. Radials instead of Bias Ply! What a difference. Yes, that is my 66 Mustang ahead of it in the driveway. Like I said, no adult supervision.

I'm a truck guy, but my first car was a '65 Pontiac Catilina 4 door. My parents gave it to me for my 11th birthday. It was a beater that still ran but was not worth much for a trade for my parents' new car. I grew up on a farm, and the rules were that I was only allowed to drive it out in the fields/pasture/woods, and NEVER take it out on the road. Well, my brother and I took it out on the roads a lot! lol The Dukes of Hazzard was the tv show back then. We destroyed that car within a couple of months using the farm tractor to build dirt ramps to jump the car. My last car was a SRT 8 Charger that my ex-wife got in the divorce many years ago. That car was fast, but I would never own a performance car living where I do with the conditions of the roads around here. More than once, I had to replace the ground effects on that car because of all the potholes in the city.
Might as well add me to the car guy crew. I spend way to much time working on my own vehicles.
First car was an 87 firebird. I still have it but I have to get around to an engine swap someday.
Also have a 68 Chevelle Malibu. Has been in the family since new. Pardon the condition in the picture. She looked like that when i got her from my brother and I have been slowly working her back up to road worthy.
Also stay busy with the wife’s and my daily drivers. Hers is a 01 wrangler sahara edition and mine is an 02 duramax.
