You mean like that time I was 12 and drove my dad's ZR-1? That thing was a beast.

Still, though, I prefer the Belvedere.

Just like that.

I'm with you on that one. I'd pick a classic over most any new car... With a few exceptions. But hence why I bought a '69 CST/10 that had no motor or trans and the typical old car issues (the electrical system has a mind of its own...) as opposed to buying this 98 GMC Jimmy off my parents, which works perfectly fine.

I can drive from 5 AM 'til 10 PM with an adult over 21 until I get my driver's license in April. BUT if I get a speeding ticket then the one year period starts all over again the day the ticket is paid so I can't really get away with that. Plus, my brother took the only vehicle that blends in to college with him so the only car I get to drive is a moving target, albeit a white one.

And only dykes have hair as short as mine, so no skirt.

This was one of my favorite threads of all time.
It was a visceral thread that brought back many car memories.
To best understand, it takes prior experience, seeing, growing up with, driving and really experiencing what you've so colorfully written about.
Flathead Packard 8's. The aoohga horn on a Model A.
Cars with fins, AM radios, and even some with split windshields.
Flooring the accelerator and actually being thrown back in your seat by a production v-8 powered rwd vehicle.
Trying not to get pulled over on a Saturday night.
Making it home safely.

Thanks for this thread Buick. Thanks for the memories.

You are most welcome.

I knew I'd find some people here that would have more than a superficial appreciation for such vehicles, the pure joy they elicit, and the fond memories they call forth.

Great read Buick!!

You clearly and accuratly described everything I love about old cars.
I had my GTO (dad hasnt driven it since we bought it, I've driven it twice a week) out all day today (two tanks of gas , I ain't no Green Peace member). Gotta tell ya, I have a had time not letting the the 389 sing through all 6 barrels, the noise, the smell, the shakeing ground.....I love it. Some guys let there stereos thump, I like when my motor Pounds.
