So what rides did you have in your teens? How did you fix them up.

In high school I originally had to share a car with 2 of my sisters (OMG).
I think it was an early 1960's Rambler.

I finally got my own ride Junior year...........a 1964 Chevelle Malibu with
an Earl Sheib paint job, a Thrush muffler and moonie caps on the wheels.

I eventually sold that and bought a 1965 Chevy Impala Convertible (bought it
from the owner of the gas station I worked part time for).

That car lasted me till it was stolen and I replaced it with a '64 Ford
Galaxy I got for a steal from a neighbor.

End of teenage cars.

So how about you?

So how about you?


1962 Morris Minor 850 Station Wagon at age 16.
Went out and ran it into the rear end of a Volkswagen Bug. That screwed
me up for a year or two.
Then I bought a 1967 Honda CB160 motorcycle.
Last car in my teens was a 1963 Pontiac Parisienne 4 door sedan.

That's it...except mine had the wood trim on the back half of the car.
Actually had 8 teenagers in it and busted the rear spring mounts.
On a long downhill highway run I had it up to 89 mph. Pretty crazy on
those 12" 'lifesaver sized' tires.
Bittersweet memories on that car. Paid $400.00 for it, learned to drive
by tooling around without a drivers license or insurance and eventually
broke the accelerator in a stuck on position doing major motor damage.
Another $400.00 for an engine re-build and I was in hock up to my eyes
(making $1.35 per hour working weekends at a grocery store)
Oh yeah...due to bad brakes I rear ended the Volkswahen doing $80.00
damage to it's bumper and the authorities make me surrender my plates
until I paid for the Bug's repairs and showed proof of insurance.
That was a major downer that affected me through most of high school.

Who was just whining about OT posts? I have no problem with the post, since
it's not inflammatory, but doesn't the previous whining about a post with a
chili recipe seem somewhat ludicrous?

That's odd. You call think Johns the sheriff, but you came into a
thread about recipes and whined about it being off topic.......
