My father owned a GM dealership so everyone thought I would get a car when I was 16 and he came through............Gave me the keys for a Ford and said here you go Kid. I tried them in every Ford on the lot and lastly the last piece of chit in the back lot..........67 Ford Ranch Wagon ex Sask Power car painted Brown with a brush . 390 Armstrong steering but would do wicked Smoky Burnouts.......Come to think of it must have been the air fresheners in the day but it to smelt like Beer and Pot as well.LOL

77 chev malibu 4 door for $250. Nothing worked no gauges or heat control. Drove it home on 30 degC day with all the windows open and the heat running full blast.

Dad wanted to follow me home to make sure i got there but when i got on the highway he was nowhere to be seen. The car i was following was doing 140kmh++ and i had no idea just kept up to the car in front of me thinking he was doing the limit. lol

1982 Aries-K. Great value, but it sure didn't like being taken off road.

1992 civic with a big system, nitrous, and lots of little tree air fresheners so it didn't smell like beer, weed, and pu$$y. Was a great high school car til I rolled it 7 times trying to drive like Andretti.

Think you would have learned after the first time you rolled it. :D

71 Ford F250 camper special. 390 auto which later got converted over to 4 on the floor. Went like shot through a gun. Couldn't keep tires on it either. Had the handy little beer hiding compartment on the passenger side of the box. Nobody ever looked there at bush parties.

1972 Ford Torino it was red and looked just like the Starsky and Hutch car but without the white stripe. Wish I could find one now but they keep coming out with movies about Torino's and the prices are nuts
