Default Re: Where were you in '85?

In November of 1985 I was a sophmore in HS and bought my 1967 Malibu (30 days before I could even get my license). My mom and I went to look at it and bought it on the spot without even driving it.

When we told my dad he was suprised, but not as suprised as when he drove it home for me. He told me that there's no way in H*LL I would've gotten the car if he'd have driven it before we bought it! (Guess it was all those years of AMCs and Renaults that lulled him into his slow car mode)

$2,600 looked like a ton of money back then, but that car was my life. Lucky for me I opted to keep it, even though it needs some love to get back it's former glory it's still in the stable. Hopefully, my son will want to drive it one day!!!

Now I can't wait to get my father to drive the L78 Chevelle I just bought. It ought to be another eye opener!!!
