You could have probably got a few hundred more out of it, by throwing in a Nightranger album.

 

66 ford pickup with 8" of slop in the non-power steering and all 4 shocks broke through the mounts. 4 speed that it was mostly guessing how to do the 2-3 shift, no synchros in 1st. lifters clattered for years until it dropped a valve and stuck a rod through the block on my brother.



it was a farm truck mostly used for picking rocks. Used a big hammer jammed between the gas pedal and the seat to get it to idle on cold mornings

 

First vehicle I ever drove was an 1987 Mazda b2000. We had a 66 Dodge, my dad bought it and we fixed it up, swapped the motor, did some body work was kind of fun for a 12 year old, you know learning all that ****, although the first motor I rebuilt was 4 years later..... it was out of a ghia and we did it in the living room.

 

My first ride was a 91 S-10, I beat on it like it would never break, it broke. I then had a series of ********, a 76 courier pick-up flintstone style, 2 83 FB's, 1 85 FB (should have kept it), 96 powerstroke (boom) it died quick. I've had the 89 FC for 12 years now and the 01 S-10 for 9. The sloppy steering nod cracked me up, for three summers I drove my bosses 72 C-10, auto converted to three on the floor, same shitty shocks and sloppy wheel, loaded with paint and crossing railroad tracks that thing would shimmy down the road for miles

 

thats crazy Phins.. my first car was an early 80's Regal that i traded for my 79 CJ7.





There is a 17 kid here in my town that "mommy and daddy" just bought a 2010 SS Camaro.... he also has a pair of $800 sunglasses. (my buddy's daughter is in his HS class)

 

that's some bs. in high school i got me the hand me down pos 92 s-10 5 speed and i totalled it within a few months. i had to pay my parents back for it WITH interest lol. after that i got a 76 catalina that was able to survive my driving style through the rest of high school lol. i miss that battleship haha

 

No way was I allowed a car in high school. I think I got permission to borrow Mom's car exactly twice my senior year.

 

I took the bus my senior year. It's nice catching a few extra Zs on the way to/from school. After marching band practice, I would bum rides from people or walk the 4 miles home. I didn't get my license until after I graduated high school.

 

I had an 81 Buick regal, paid $1000 for it with only 36,000 miles on it. Was a pile of ****, but I drove it from sophmore to senior year, then I bought a CJ-7.
