My first was a triple black 69 Chevelle SS, I bought it when I was 16. Engine must have put out well over 400hp, I was always out of gas and the rear tires went bald all the time for some reason
. I blew it up doing burnouts during the homecoming parade, parked it wondering how bad I hurt it. Went directly to the homecoming game, I had a great game, caused a fumble on the first play from scrimmage and we ended up blowing them out. Wasn't until the next morning that I pulled the dipstick, what a sick feeling. Didn't get it back on the road for months, rebuilt another 396 in an open garage, then had to sell it to go to college. Bought a 76 Toyota Corolla, for college what a step down. I would've killed myself in that Chevelle though so in retrospect it was the best thing that could have happened. Wish I had that car back it was a monaco orange car originally. Fond memories of that car.
