at 17 i had a BMW --- Bike, Metropass, Walk ... it was real pimpin i must say, got to meet all sorts of people

 

Brown 1976 Mercury Cougar...

 

Way to f*ckin' grave dig, dude! While we're at it, 2001 (brand new at the time) Mercedes C230 Kompressor Coupe. Black on white leather... awesome car!

 

She was a busty brunette from a different high school. 25 years later, we still chat occasionally....

1977 Caprice Classic Coupe. 250, 2bbl V6. Good times in that car. While I was at basic training, my sister blew the engine.

 

1974 Mercedes 280. It was creme with black leather. Power windows, pneumatic locking system and original push button radio (some of you younger folk have probably never seen one in person). I started working the summer of my 11th birthday to have enough money to buy it. That thing was a tank!

 

'73 Nova. Wrapped around a phone pole in 1979, landed on its roof and slid a few yards. Ambulance ride #1......

 

'62 VW Beetle. I could get a chirp out of the tires if I popped the clutch in reverse

 

I had a 65 Chevelle SS. It was a 4 speed, Red with Black interior. I swapped in a 396 Big Block and a 3.73 gear in a 12 bolt Spicer rearend. Car ran High 12's on skinny slicks and tall messing with the gearing so I think it was more of 12.70 to mid 12 sec. car with the right tire on the rear. The engine was basically stock. The only internal HP parts were Crower high rev Hydraulic Lifter and 360hp Vette Cam. I also hand ported the heads in the Gasket match fashion and port matched the stock iron manifold. Headers and a 780 Holley carb topped it off. No Power anything just engine! Loved that car. Of course ended up wrecking it. Now at 55 I still miss it.

 

I own a 64 Beetle now. However it has a stroker motor and is pretty bad *** and will light tires all the way through first gear. Little more power. Ran a new 2011 Vette at a light held him through first and some in second then he pulled on me. 2017cc Dual 44 Webers, Big Valve heads, 130 Engle cam, Ported and Polished heads.

Went through a few cars at 17. First was a 63 Ford F100 , A couple of 6 cylinder darts & then a 55 Chevy complete with flames on the hood. Only on the hood , the rest of it was dark gray primer.
