    NO not mine!!!! I'm way to young to be saying that!

    but the point I'm getting at is it's great to help introduce another person into the world of classic cars. GRANTED...he's looking at a chevy, but i can deal with that. It's really a shame how none of us "young folk" know anything about real mechanics anymore. Dad was telling my what it was like when he was in highschool, everyone was working on their own car, and they were all cudas, stingrays, boss stangs and the like :drool: .

    Just recently we had our "sr. polls" at school, and some kid with a ricer tiburon with a bunch of crap that some shop installed for him got the best car. :ban: To me, half of the fun is just working on these cars.

    It's a great feeling when i can help get another interested into the classic car world.:nice:

    Sweet!
    I was a week too late for my high school's best car last year; mine was in the paint shop... it ended up going to a bmw or something... but as soon as i brought my 66 on campus, she turned heads, I'd pull in as ppl were starting walking to class and every1 was like wats that noise? then they'd turn their heads and go like :jaw: and would try to squat down to see who was driving it =P.
    Every1 came up to me sayn that they would've voted for me a week earlier if they knew i had that car :mad:
    Now there's a 73 Camaro, a 67 mustang being kept in un-restored, rusty condition :( (don't know who's it is) and my teacher as a 65 or 64 Thunderbird. I know that the Camaro guy works on his own car, not sure about the others.
