Ya ok
Ya ok
it was this thing, like I said, that sets in your window and when you get at a good crusing speed it would spin this fan thingy and kinda cool off your car. I can't remember for sure but I think you filled it woth H2O.

Friggin loved that car until I crashed it in the middle of a snowstorm in Chicago in '97, 1s time I heard myself scream......thought I was a goner. The car basically wrapped around me, the paramedics couldn't believe I got away with a bump on my head

...make that three of us!!! Mine was a 1986 Mustang GT 5.0
...and yeah, I loved to bang those gears myself. Went through 2 clutches and two sets of tires before I figured out I couldn't afford to keep burning the tires off everytime I got in it. LOL
...bought it at a junkyard (just a little frontal body damage...engine was perfect) and put it back together.... It was awesome.... T-tops and one bad ass engine!!! I drove that car from the time I was 16 until about three years ago. When I finally sold it, it had over 200k miles on it. I loved that damn car...and although it's now gone, the fond memories are still with me.

1972 Olds Cutlass Supreme
V8 350 Rocket / 8 m.p.g
Same white vinyl hardtop but my car was electric blue w/white interior. Perfect body, not a scratch or a fender bender. Drove it for 2 1/2 years until the gas was keeping me from eating.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
put me down for Terryray's answer (although he knew a year)
first car was a Torino. Maroon, with something sticking up from the hood.
all i know about cars is if they will get me to where i want to go or not......Hell, not even sure what the year of the car i drive right now is, and don't really care as long as it moves....LOL
do remember getting an out of state speeding ticket in the Torino the first night i got it tho.
got my licence and the car on 2/5/76, and know it wasn't new, so must have been somewhere between a 70 and 74.

Know all to well about 'knock off hubs' after my 1st TR-6. Hit a turn island hard and had to knock the wheel off the hub with a railroad spike maul. Never had a air thingy, but know that's what your talkin'about,(but that's a horse of a different color)

It was 1976, I was batting .222 as a SS playing baseball for my Dad at 16 yrs old. He came to me and said," if you win the batting championship this year , i'll get you your 1st car.
It came down to my buddy, Carey Hockmans last at bat of the season , If he got a hit, he wins the batting championship, if not I have a possible car.
Carey ends up popping up to SS
A little while later as i get home from high school, there sits a silver 1970 4 door Toyota Corona! It was really cool. As time passed, my dad added dish mags, 8-track stereo in the glove box, I painted it dark blue and a high school friend pinstriped it. I added rear air shocks to lift it. It was pretty cool at the time.
A little later I sold it for$1000.00 and bought a 1969 Dodge Charger, it was built to the hilt:firing:

1949 Pontiac bought for $100 in 1964. I don't know the actual mileage as the odometer was at 000100. Everything worked fine, even the dashboard clock. We called it the Black Bomb and it served "us" faithfully during our college years. Finally had to bid adieu when it conked out five years later - the odometer registered 126,000+ at its demise.
