Yeah that car was a lot of fun, but it was also a money pit. Good thing I lived with my parents when I own it, back in the '70s.

My very first car was a 1931 Chevy Coupe like the one below. I bought it for $5.00 when I was 14 years old in 1953.

69 Buick Electra. It was a tank! My dad put glass packs on it so I couldnt't sneek in after curfew. The floor boards were all rusted out and I had a lovely plywood floor. Made it easy for all those road parties we went to. Just lift the ole foor up and drop out the empties. $500.00 bucks and the beast had factory air!!

 Well, this is a fun memory to relive...............NOT. On my 16th Bday, my dad tosses keys with a ribbon on them on the kitchen counter as I am getting ready for school............I freak out (happily) and run to the kitchen window.......in the drive way is brand spanking new baby blue car of some sort (didn't know what it was at the time) and I assume it is mine. I go to grab the set of keys....................Dad stops me and says no, those are for your mother......here's your set!!!! Which went to her OLD a$$ YELLOW 1977 DATSUN B210!!!!!..................it was 1985!!!!!!!
My Bday is Feb. 13 and my dad bought the car for mom for Valentines the next day but thought it would be funny to give it to her a day early for the "trick" on me...............................didn't laugh then, but being a parent now I can appreciate his sick joke.
Best thing they did was tell me if I kept my grades up, no tickets or accidents and NOT ASK THEM for gas money for the next year.......they would get me a new car senior year. My silver with HOT PINK flames 1987 Ford Ranger Sport fully loaded was smokin' when I got it!

Don't feel bad - drove the ol' Rambler fer a coupla years, then bought me a '56 Buick Special (2-door) fer the princely sum of $25! Seems the clutch wuz toast on it, an' with the enclosed driveshaft, it wuz a real PITA ta replace....but not fer an ol' country boy with an oak tree an' coffin hoist....

Hmmmm...........and now as a grown man you still are driving a Mustang, bright red but much newer! That is cute. What happened to the '65? That would be sweet to have now.

Fat_o6...............looks a lot like the truck I learned to drive on........my dad had a 1956 Chevy, with power NOTHING on that thing. I'm 15 and he decides to take me out and teach me to drive it............even though we had two other cars with at least power steering (I think?).
That truck was a monster and heavy. The all the steering gave me muscles....which my dad said I was going to need to fight off "dates" once I go my license.....dad always was a thinking type!

The brake pedal stuck down and I had to pull it up with my foot. At the time, I was just so thankful to have wheels that turned-lol. I searched for this pic on the web and it scared the sh!t out of me to have to look at one again!!
