My dad tought me how to drive stick in his 66' chevelle with a 454 and a four speed.

Second best to the chevelle is my 66 bel air wagon with a zz4 350 with a 700r4 auto. It is my summer cruiser with shaved door handles and emblems and lowered about 4" off the ground. It has the long wagon windows painted with the car in silver and blue flake over, and old skool scallops filled in with spider webs.

Also my dads 50' five window pickup with a 350 and 350auto. It is lamborghini liscensed orange and was fun to drift around in and do doughnuts in the rain until i broke the u joint off the rear end. It goes without saying that he was pissed.

dominos pizza

FUNNIEST - chevy chevette with drivers door bashed in so bad it wouldn't open , i had to crawl out the other side with the pizza , and you could hear me coming because over half the exhaust was gone completely after i drove it a few weeks dragging on the pavement , it finally came off with a liitle help from me and a big pothole. got pulled by a seargent with anal problem - it was on his shoulders- , he got so mad he took me to the jail. FASTEST - my buddies 96 GTO. BEST HANDLING - i never liked Corvette , un til i drove 1. SWEET AND DIFFERENT- my 70 Torino fastback. COOLEST CAR EVER MADE - my 67 Mustang fastback. COOLEST 2ND RUNNER UP - my 08 black/cashmere HHR PANEL, it's the newest/nicest thing i've ever owned. BEST MPG-80 Honda 1200 , 40+. ONE MORE I REALLY WISH I STILL HAD - 64 FAIRLANE, white on red inside and out, they only made that body 1 year , round tail lights w/out the fin. SLOWEST CAR - a tie between my moms chevette and my brothers 57 vw carmen gia. BEST 4 WHEEL DRIVE - my 85 BRONCO 2. WIERDEST - my exgirls' GRIMLIN , also 64 4 door Dodge Dart w/push button trans. MOST NASTALGIC ? -my grandpas 53 BUICK , the 1st 1 with a v8, he called it "Black Beauty" , he NEVER washed it and drove it from the day it was new until the day he died in late 80s.

My brother's brand new '63 Corvette convertible. Then my Dad's 427/425hp Caprice with redline tires and posi, he let me take it out on dirt roads on the family ranch before I had a license, which is not as bad as it sounds now (or maybe it was, since I regularly drove over 100 mph with it and it handled and stopped poorly) ah those were the days.
