Default Re: First Car Stories!

I came up $200 short of being able to buy my first car, a 6 cyl 69 Camaro conv. I went off to college thinking about the car for several weeks until my mom called one night and said "guess who called today?" It turns out they couldn't sell the car and finally came down the $200 and I ended up getting the car. Of course, I was at college so my dad went and got the car for me. He would take it out every Sunday morning to go get bagels. I didn't get to drive it until I was done with school in May! I had it restored by the local Vo-tech school and my dad would still take it out every Sunday morning to get bagels. The funniest one was watching my dad take my 68 SS396 conv to the muffler shop with open headers! He figured the cops wouldn't give him a ticket so I said "go ahead".
