Oh boy. Well, you made me dig back through my family album, but here are some early shots.
Picture one, I started off at a very early age.
Picture two, I finally moved up to my own bike (I was very mature for my age )
Picture three. I had a bad driviing record before I was 5.
Picture four. One of my first experiments. I had a few bugs to work out yet.
Man, I was a cute little devil.

All right, I guess you have already figured out those pictures weren't really me.
I did dig out two real ones though. The first picture is me in my stroller in about 1948, and the second one is me in my Bug Eye Sprite in about 1962. The Sprite later got a 289 Ford swap, and was never the same after I did that.
Sorry I don't have one of those fancy scanners, so I had to take a picture of a picture.

Don that square tired bicycle pic is the funniest pic I've seen in a while.
I'll have to look through some old photos to see if I can find anything that will qualify for this one.

Guess if I have to..
Christmas, 1979. I was 6. My first wheels.
Sept 1991. I was 17. My first car.
May 2006. I was 32. My first brand new car. Oh, and the wife thrown in as well.

Oh man Joker. I forgot about the overalls with one loose strap fashion craze. You are a brave man for posting that one. . I wish my first car was that clean.
Dang it. I found a couple of pics but no scanner.

Hey, the topic was rat yourself out after all. And of course, in the current pic you can somewhat see how I got my nickname. It's more pronounced when I'm clean shaven, but oddly, yes indeed when I smile wide like that I look like Nicholson's Joker character in the original Batman movie.

Yep, pegged pant legs.. also a fad at the time. The footgear was all black Rocky boots. You can get them about anywhere these days, but back then, Rocky was only a regional brand, the plant only about an hour south of my hometown in Ohio.

Beautiful wife Joker, you are a lucky guy. Everybody else was thinking it, but I'm old enough to get away with it.

Oh, I know I am damn lucky. She looks like she's a teenager, yet is in her thirties. For those other dirty old men on here who kept their mouths shut, she made me post these:

cycledog, that bike is awesome! I would have loved to have one of those as a kid. I did get a hand-me-down Schwinn Stingray that was my uncles that was cool as hell.

Well it was the coolest in the neighborhood. I broke my leg on that bike doing donuts on the ice one winter.
