Man I wish I could have had 2 4th gen f bods when I was in high school.

I had a 76 Dodge Aspen 4 door, a 76 Pontiac bonneville 4 door, and a 73 Chevy truck (1 car per year...all under $1k)

My mom drives 98 now that she had to turn in the Grand Prix. So i only had 2 4th gen Fbodys for 6 months. It is kind of funny to see a 50 year old lady in a camaro with black outs on the tail lights and a curly antena.
For the past year and for the next 4 i will be paying $300 a month for the SS. So its not like I dont work for it.
How i just love it when people tell me to "take my daddys car home" when i pay for the darn thing

Yep, me and my friend woke up at 5:45am to rain... decided it wasnt worth the hour and a half drive to get rained out. Theres no chance theyll reschedule it is there? Me and my friends might just plan on going by ourselves sometime soon.

Did they give out the $2k scholarship anyway? I couldve used that

I had to borrow my dad's '76 Chevy Chevette, and he wouldn't let me touch the '77 Suburban unless he was in the passenger seat. I really wanted to buy a V8 powered '71 Plymouth Satellite or a Fury III.

..Bought my first car right after graduation: A 318 powered 1974 Plymouth Gold Duster, when I really wanted a 1978 Trans Am.

Yes, I get pretty envious whenever I see a H.S. student with a fourth-gen Z or TA. Heck I still don't have my fourth-gen, my satellite, OR my black '78 Trans Am!

I thought there was way too much rice at High School Nats. Everything had a fart can on it, even cars that you couldnt even think of putting one of those on. I thought the event was a waste of time when it didnt rain, but thats just my opinion. Plus I was mad at my 2 time trials I did run that day.
