I remember all of them and remember most of them when they hit the showroom floor. In my town, as soon as you are big enough to ride a bike, you roam the streets and check out the dealerships in the late fall/early winter. I had redneck trucks in high school but my first real car was a 1955 98 Olds Holiday, two door hardtop. A lady getter for sure. When all else fails, BLAME BUSH!

I took it to the local drag strip 3 weeks in a row and brought home 3 trophes. Then totaled it out street racing!! NRA LIFE MEMBER We don't change the message, the message changes us.

I remember racing a 57 Chevy on a back road. He came off the line well ahead of me, and crossed the 1/4 mile mark ahead of me, but we both kept going and I smoked him after that. My Olds didn't start to breath good until 80 and really kicked in past 100. Curb weight was something like 4600 lb compared to the Chevy in the low 3000's. When all else fails, BLAME BUSH!

It definately wasn't a chick magnet. In fact, looking back, I have no idea why a girl ever went out with me twice. Must be my animal magnetism, good looks and charm. The cars I was interested in were the late '60s- early '70s muscle cars. Camaros, GTOs, Barracudas, Firebirds, Roadrunners, Chargers, etc. The one I wanted most was a '73 Corvette Stingray, burnt orange with T-tops. I saw one in '73 when I was 15 at a drive-in movie. I don't believe the fact that it had a blond in it had anything to do with me wanting it- but I might be wrong.

Pepper, Seems we had this discussion once before. You're lucky to have ever found a wife. I had me a classy muscle car when we first got married. Wife made me get rid of it. I thought it was because she was afraid of its power and speed. Now as I think about it, I think she just wanted to protect me from all those other chicks. When all else fails, BLAME BUSH!

I didn't have a muscle car when my wife and I got married. I had a 67 98 Olds Convrtible that I had traded for my '64 Impala. The Olds was traded for a 73 Ford station wagon when we started having kids.

Now we know how you caught the Missus. Yeah, after 40 years of marriage she still tells the story that, little did she know, every penny I had was tied up in that car. Thor, a side note on the Olds - I got it in Lubbock and it was supposed to have been used by the dealership to chauffer Liberace around when he came to town for a concert in 1967. It was the first car I owned with cruise control and 8-track tape deck. White with balck top and interior - what a "boat".

My first car was a '54 Morris Minor 1000 (English), could not get parts for it so I used a lot of perma gasket, bailing wire and whatever else was available. My second car was a '59 Borgward Isabella TS(German), built like a tank, knew where ever junked Borgward was with 50 miles.
