^ that's hilarious Mario!

I had a Mazda RX2. Used to womp on my buddy's SBCs believe it or not. That thing would burn rubber in every gear. The motor lasted 18 months. In 12th grade I bought my sister a Vega and traded her straight up for her 70 Camaro. Put a built 350, mags and exhaust in it and that was what started it all for me.

Edit: I had a member's only jacket too!

Shared a White 75 L82 auto Corvette with my older brother when I first got a license and finished high school with my own 78 Silver Anniversary Corvette..

Back then we (as a family) had a sweet deal going with a car dealer my dad helped out and the whole family pretty much drove new cars for about 10 months,, flipped through a few courtesy cars,, and then got some of the very early release cars the following year as he was a big dealer up here in Ontario at the time.... We even made money driving them if you can imagine.... It was my job to sell off all the cars every year and the money just kept rolling over into new ones basically as the upside sale price covered the new order price generally...

1970 Chevy Nova 307/350 trans, disc brakes.
I thought I was so cool with 8" corvette rallys in the back.

Of course the offset was terrible, lol.

I had a couple of members ony jackets, but my favorite was the jacket my girlfriend, now wife, had made for me like the nylon high school jackets. This one had Chevelle on it instead of the school. Yes, it is still in the closet.

That's cool man. My wife and I were only married a few months and she was driving a Hyundai. I found the Vette in pretty good shape and bought it for her to drive everyday instead of the econobox. Didn't realize a 15 year old Vette with 100k wasn't really the "best" daily driver rain, shine or snow!! LOL! Still miss it tho, it would've been cool with my powerplant!! LOL!
