I wrecked my mom's 1973 Ford Grand Torinio Sport when I was 15, ran it in a ditch. She looked at me and said, "well it's yours, I'm going to town and buy me another one!"
Over the next three years I spent every nickle I earned restoring it to better than new condition! I won the first and only car show I entered it in! The best part about it was the motor - a 351 Cleveland. For those uninformed brethren, that's a BIG block pumping out 350HP stock. It never had a wrench turned on it! Way too much for a 16 year old.
By the time I finished her my senior year in high school it was a car that all guys loved. Girls of course liked new cars, not muscle cars. There was one thing the girls liked about that boat - the back seat!
My first year in college I was broadsided and pushed into a telephone poll. Totaled.
