What was 'that car' ?

[XcYZ]

I thought this would make for a fun and interesting thread...

What was that car, the car and/or experience that made you take the path that you are on?



I'll get it rolling....

My brother had a car, as did my cousin, friends in high school, etc, but... the single sharpest memory was when I was 16. One night I was sitting around in front of a small town popcorn stand (are there any of those around anymore? lol) with a few friends when a 69 Camaro rolled by. It was yellow with black stripes and running Centerline Autodrag wheels. It was a bad ass car, looked absolutely perfect rumbling by under the street lights on a warm summer night. That's how a car was supposed to look, and that's how a car was supposed to sound. I can remember it like it was yesterday.



Am I being nostalgic because it's the end of the year? Yeah, probably. Lets hear your story; what made you a car guy.
