I just noticed that I have over 2000 posts. What a blabber mouth.

[pippen99]

You are a woman. You are excused!

[370Z/28]

If you notice, on most of my posts I get the last word in too.

What a blabber mouth.

Congrats on your 2000th post!!!


Oh and.......

[370Z/28]

I'm an old fart. Y'all want to see young pretty girls.

[SVTCOBRA]

haha, you silly! We've seen pics of you. You're not an old phart! However, Telcoman..........

Don't pick on H. He's a good ole fella.

Here is a pic my son took of me and my mechanical babies. Subtract 10 pounds. I have shed my winter blubber.

[SVTCOBRA]

One proud mama!!!!
Nice pic too!

[370Z/28]

Thanks. If you still had your 'Stang we would go find a back road and do a little 0 - 60!

Got as far as getting my pics on my desk top to place my AutoTrader ad, but that is as far as I have gotten.

sorry Telcoman! Hadn't seen you hear in a while and wondered if you were still lurking.

Here is an oldie but goodie of self back in the late 70's....with my beloved 69 Mach 1....


Loved the Hurst T handle....Comp. Plus shifter

[370Z/28]

Aw H, what a cutie pie.

Good ole American Muscle. Gotta love it. I loved the pistol grip shifter on the Challenger in Vanishing Point. Damn Barry Newman could shift!

If I ever had the $40k to blow on a Chrysler product, I would have a Challenger just like the one in the movie. Of course I would have to keep the Z to drive while the Challenger was in the shop.

[370Z/28]

.....PS (and I gotta say it) If you had had a Z28 you would have had a smile on that face.

[370Z/28]

PS again.....

If you like Vanishing Point, you are going to LOVE this vid:

Me and my 55 Chevy stick

Did I mention it had an AM radio with five station pushbuttons

My mom had a Corvair that didn't have a/c or a radio. We had to carry a transistor radio in the car to have music..



My how times have changed.

[telcoman]

Mom didn't want to pay for any options

She spent the money on her kids

You had a thoughtful mom

My sister had a Corvair

What a POS

Ralph Nader nailed it

It was a poor substitute for a VW Beedle

[370Z/28]

I barely remember that car. I remember the '54 Ford she had before that because I busted the windshield with my head. Who needs car seats?!?!?

I also remember the first car she got with power brakes. It was a '65 Dodge Coronet. I remember going through many a traffic light with all 4 locked up.

Then....thank God, when I started to drive, she got a red '70 Charger. It was only a 318 2bbl, but it was pretty. Had an AM radio too!

Now, ask me what I had for dinner last night. I bet I couldn't tell you.

Here is a old photo that I found of my first car.

A 58 Ford POS



Photo taken at Westhampton Raceway, LI NY in 1960

[370Z/28]

I think it has some pretty cool lines. What did it turn?

[SVTCOBRA]

Did I mention the first (and only...knock knock) car I wrecked was my grandpa's 61 Dodge with push button transmission!!
I was only 14 and put it in a ditch...in a long driveway....tree also got in my way.

[370Z/28]

I lost control of my mom's Charger THE DAY I GOT MY LICENSE!!!! Was showing off (I know you find that hard to believe) took a corner way too fast, slid sideways into a curb, came out of my seat (cause I wasn't wearing a seatbelt) and ended up in my friend's lap, but my foot was still on the gas. Thank God we hit another curb and it killed the engine. I have NEVER again in my life taken a corner that fast.



My girlfriend was laughing so hard she wet her pants.

[SVTCOBRA]

SHORTLY after getting my license was pulling up to a red light in the blue alligator (72 Gran Torino Station Wagon) and thought I was at a complete stop when I reached up in the visor for my smokes (long since stopped), felt a bump, looked down and saw what looked like Sgt Carter bouncing up and down in his State Patrol car with his State Patrol hat on......
"Boy don't you know I'm the wrong person to be running into......"
No damage, and he let me go.....

[kmckis1029]

wow great history lesson lol... but seriously those are some good pics, make sure you scan those old pics so they stand up to the test of time.

my first car was a 1996 jeep cherokee sport, second car was 2005 g35x, and third car 2010 G37x. Once again i feel so young reading these posts LOL

Dodge power brakes in that era would lock up if you breathed on them hard. And the power steering was so synthetic feeling it was hard to believe there was actually a mechanical interface.

There's a reason you feel young. Even I had to have a few old cars to start off with, and I'm not nearly as old as this thread's posters are.

[370Z/28]

We are oldies but goodies.

Think of it this way. We get to retire sooner than you do.

Are you kidding? We make dirt feel young. I think 'cobra's about my age, and Becki is a year or two younger.
