Fred McGriff Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 When I was little we used to play a game called "I Got That Car" while we were carpooled off to 1st grade. To play you simply yelled "I Got That CAR!" whenever you passed a car that you wanted. Since we lived in a shitty part of louisville, kentucky, the best thing that could possibly happen to you during this time would be if a completely bitching Pontiac Fiero were to blow past you, peel your doors off, incinerate the paint on your car, and melt everyone's clothes off. nothing was more exciting, and it was the closest we could come to all the posters of ferraris we had in our rooms. Fieros are fucking awesome. (I remember seeing a delorian once, parked, with a door opened. Pretty sure it became a physical melee in the back seat over who got to claim it).

murve33 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Fuck, when my parents were buying me a car, I saw one for sale and it worked and everything. Only 5 grand too. But they refused to buy me a 2-seater manual. It was yellow too, the douchiest car color ever. Would've been awesome. I thought I had a picture floating around, but I can't find it. Beautiful car. Edit: Ended up with a Ford Taurus, it's nice and everything, but it gets shit for mileage, and I'm not going to be buying myself another car any time soon. First world problems lol.

I don't have any digital pics of my car because it's stored at my parents house now. That's exactly how mine looked after I restored it with my dad in high school. Minus the t-tops, but they would just end up leaking any way I drive a 2005 GMC Canyon now, but still have the T/A.

Guest hahathhat Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 oh, so it's your dad's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 No, it's mine. I bought the car for $300 when I was 17 from an old man that used it as a fishing car, only driving it a couple times a year. The front brakes were locked up and he didn't want to pay to fix them. My dad has been a mechanic all his life and likes working on cars. We put new rocker panels, rear quarter panels, a new fender and hood on it. Recovered all the seats, new carpet and headliner. Tons of sanding and body work. I paid for it all through a dish washing job. My two younger brothers also restored cars with my dad. My first brother restored an 87 Camaro RS to look and drive like a 92 Camaro Z28. They rebuilt the 350 in it and put the 92 body fx kit on it. My younger brother has a 69 Chevelle with a wicked bored over 350 in it. The body isn't done on it, but he's run out of money for now. That's just what we did in high school :sup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hautlle Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I liked to build computers too. My parents bought our first computer, I have no idea how old I was at the time. It was a Pentium 133. Packard Bell with Win95. I remember trying to over-clock it after a while. My best friend all through elementary school's dad was a network administrator for BNSF. That's how my love for tech got started. After that first computer I built a 266mhz machine, imagine that TWICE AS FAST!!! lol, but yeah.. I've been building my own and family computers since. The thing that sucks is I get stuck as the family's IT guy. But it's the fam so you gotta jbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
