My 1st car was a '57 Triumph TR3. Bought in '64 for $500. Drove that car through 5 years of college and two years of Army. (Vietnam draftee). Started first with Rallys and then auto-X. Did all my own work, modifying it for competition. That car took me to two auto-X championships.

That was a common one when we had a payphone at school. Lotta rejected charges for "Imdonepickmeup".Originally Posted by 0ddl0t
He said that he *still* has records, not that he buys new ones and scrounged up his parent/grandparent’s hifi system.
First car I was allowed to drive on the road was dad’s ‘69 Coronet 440, which actually had a 318 V8. Later, I had a ‘74 Duster with the same engine.

Gen Xer here, but a 3/4ton 1975 Chevy. 454 with a Holley 750 Double Pumper, Hooker Headers, Posi-Rear End. 4-6 MPGs maybe 8 or 9, if I stayed out of it. But, I was 16, so it would pass everything but a gas station. But it was OKLAHOMA so gas was cheap.
1) That's why I said "if".
2) More LPs sold last year than CDs. Vinyl is back, man!
My first car was a '67 Mustang, 289. Mostly rust colored...

Our neighbors had the first color TV on the block we knew about. We kids all piled over there in 1969 to watch the moon landing. Reception was bad that night, the video feed was lousy, and the TV itself wasn't all that good anyway. We ended up going home and watched the moon walk on our black and white TV. Reception was marginally better.
Our cat Stripey used to paw at outfielders on that TV screen on Sunday afternoons. Lastros, Disastros, whatever you cared to call them. Perennial cellar dwellers.
