Fess up!!! What kinda car did you drive in High School!?

[SIC2706]

i was kinda the car guy in school with my 79 camaro and my SVO mustang but we all had that one un cool car and mine was a 87 cavalier that was rusty and blue everyone called in the blue bomber. I tore that poor thing up doing reverse neutral drops in the rain to get all sideways...Me and my band in high school jumped more hills and tracks. i dont know how it even survied. The day i bought my mustang i dad wanted to sell the cavalier but i couldnt. I felt i had the right to destroy it myself. So later in the year i stripped it and ran in in are local fair demo derby,,,,,,,,,Got to love having a car addiction

I'm with 55--What I drove and what I owned were often different .. MY cars were a 55 Ford Sunliner (convertable) with a 292--popups and 3/4 cam, and after that dropped a rod, a 51 Chevy Busines Coupe with a 261-2 2bbls (ole lady in a Caddy sideswiped it-still own it). A whole string of $15 50ish Chevy cars that ended in the river when they quit. In late 69, Got a 59 Vette from a buddy who dissapeared in Nam. Sold that in 75 and bought a 10 wheeled stretched bob truck and hauled hay outta Kansas for years..

My drivers (mom cars)-- 59 Ford Galaxy(learned how to put trannies in-6times), 65 Ford 302, Renault Dauphine (rolled it, then caught fire-got billed for burning up the pavement). Mom was verrrry forgiving.

Ah da goodoledayz.

If you're a young buck I don't know what that'd make me...

CLASS OF 05

Not a car, but at 14 all I could get a license for was a motorcycle. My first was a 1954 Cushman Eagle. I don't know if it was a local thing or not, but every young boy here in Middle Tn wanted an Eagle or a Mustang. (cycle that is)



I acquired my first car in a little town called Carpinteria, California. A 1948 Chevrolet 2 door for a big $45. I did have to buy a voltage regulator, which I think was around $3. So for $48 I was off and running. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that car. When I left California, I left the 48 behind, trading it for a 1941 45 cubic inch Harley. We threw the Harley in a u-haul trailer and brought it back to Tn. Over the remaining years in high school I owned a variety of cars, 1959 Metropolitan, 1957 Dodge Custom Royal (hemi powered), 1963 Volkswagen, 1964 Falcon Sprint, !965 Falcon Futura, 1953 Henry J (olds powered). Also owned a variety of motorcyles including a 61 BSA, 65 Yamaha Catalina, 66 Yamaha Big Bear Scrambler, and a Triumph Tiger Cub.







The 60's were a great time to be a teenager. I had great friends and had a great times which are very cherished memories.
