Oh man Jim, you're bringing back memories that don't need to be brought back. '65 Mercury Comet Caliente 289 that lasted 4 hours.

Oops. Did I mention my dad hadn't even had time to get it insured?

Did I mention that was the end of days for me?

Did I mention I hitched a ride my whole senior year?

Off to college with a Corvair Monza which did 360's every chance it got. Most were unplanned.

Just like it but white on red. Dad was just getting broken in as I had three younger brothers following me down the road to perdition and only the youngest never totalled one. He did regularly take down the mailbox.

My Dad had a Covar to, but he also had one of these. A Road Runner Super Bird, but it was Green.

I had a 1963 Chevy Belair two door sedan with a 283 and three on the tree. It was a funny thing, that I spent more time in the back seat, than the front. I was driving all I could.

I wish I had that car today. At my age I would spend more time in the front seat.

Even sweeter!

DoxaDavid · 16 January 2009, 12:35 PM

I was 16 in '82. I wanted a TA so bad but couldn't afford it on my own. I found a mint '74 Olds Cutlass cpe with a 350 "Rocket" under the hood. Did the prerequisite Cragar mags, Hooker headers and a nice set of 6x9's for the stereo. Med blue with a white landau top. Drove it all through high school. Had a nice sized back seat!

Looked just like this one but med blue w/white top.

Send me your Sub...no senior in HS should have such a watch.

I remember how thrilled I was to save & buy a $500 all-analog Citizen dive watch (the first all analog of its kind) back in '94. Plus, I had to pray every morning my POS Mustang would start and I could make it to school. You're sporting probably two of the most reliable objects around - a Honda & Rolex. Punk kid!

Haha, I'll admit the Honda was funded by my parents, but the Sub was solely funded by me.

Sweet. I'm sure 99% of the kids you interact with on a daily basis have no idea what an amazing watch you have...I'm sure the majority of kids at my HS wouldn't have had a clue about such an iconic watch.

Mike B · 16 January 2009, 09:43 AM

I drove a 2001 F350 Lariat Super-cab when I was a junior in high school (I graduated in 2003).

Alcan · 16 January 2009, 09:51 AM

I'd just turned 16 when I finished high school in 1966, so my ride looked something like this.

ijen0311 · 16 January 2009, 12:09 PM

HoustonRider · 16 January 2009, 12:14 PM

a '73 Corvette Big Block convertible... $7500.... 1982-1984 I think... it was going thru engines most of the time.

also had a '78 Buick Regal.

been outta HS about 24 years... hard to remember all the details... went to school with Lori Johns (top fuel dragster driver in 1988)..

moby33 · 16 January 2009, 12:20 PM

'65 Mustang. I kind of cringe at the looks of it now (it was classy wimbleton white when I bought it, but I painted it this terrible Viper blue that didn't really turn out very good)...but I bought it by myself and did all the work to keep it running...at the time, I didn't think there was another car I would ever want/need.

Oysterquartz · 16 January 2009, 12:39 PM

I drove a 2003 VW Jetta Wolfsburg edition 1.8L Turbocharged
