I had a 1977 Cutlass Supreme

Trust me, you felt quite gutsy in the power of cars like that.

The Olds Cutlass' had 350 Rocket eengines. Good lookin motors.

Have you priced those out lately?
Sweet car for a young man back in the day.

My first car was a 65 Buick Riviera 401 twin 4bls(1150 CFM),shiftplate trans & bucket seats front & back. Cruising.

It was golden.
I bought it in 1997 for a thousand dollars as a "station car" off a Marine who had orders to go some where else.
I watched that car with desire for months, I had no idea I would actually get the chance to make it my own.
Its long gone, but for a little while . . .
These cars are thousands and thousands of dollars now.

Man. That car was a sweet, smooth dream, sliding the corners.
Had that smell - mmmm -
It had a freaking fantastic stereo in it.
I used to drive that thing all over that big base for the pure thrill of it - a diminutive white woman in that big ass car pretending I was one of Charlies Angels.
LOL

I used to play Shaft loud on that sweet sound system.
Man, inside that car - everything was perfect, like time standing still. Pure power and bliss.

Ever have something like this in your life?
Recall it, remember it, soak in it.
Go back to something that made this ride of life all worth it and hold it close. Fuck this current clown world.

That is one of my favorite movies.
Seriously. That is an excellent movie.
The Music.
Imagine a life, so simple, you could make a living working in a Car Wash in weather perfect Southern California before it was ruined.


I lived in North Carolina as a kid when this movie was out. The African Americans had Fros like that. Crazy mile high.
Race relations a lot better back in the day too -

Compare the beautiful music they had, to the absolute trash of today. Yes, I am old.

65' F-85 checking in. Canary yellow. 8 track tape deck, Deep Purple, Allman Brothers, Moody Blues, foosball and surfing and 10 cent draft beer. Fun stuff.

Kids coming up today have no idea how different it was back then. Pay phone, calculators, beepers, typewriters, smokes 25 cents a pack, 16 oz Pepsi in returnable bottle 10 cents, whole chickens 19 cents a pound.

No chem trails criss-crossing the sky, gays stayed in the closet. Girls were awesome! Beautiful, great personalities, feminine and not a single tattoo to be found.

I still don't get the tattoo thing. Back then only old navy guys had them like an anchor on their arm. Nobody was covered with them except the freaks at the carnival. I personally think they are just about the stupidest way to blow money.

People showing off some weird ass new tattoo they just got like it makes them cool or something then bitch about having no money to pay the rent.

A major portion of the humans on this planet are clearly devolving.

Nice....we had our local hot rod guys we had 1 guy had a Buick GS with a 472 board and polished to 527 he was a bad ass. then we had a guy with a Plymouth Road Runner the one with the big fin in the air he had a Hemi this is back in 78 or 79. we would go find an old road and have our races just like the TV show street outlaws...I loved the 80s...

No.

I had a 67 and 69 riviera.. they were fun.

Bo, buy you another one and relive it...

Gosh anybody in here remember having to pop the clutch and roll a car that wouldn't start? Remember that trick?

Cars I owned in the the past, and I regret selling:

1969 Camaro Z/28
1970 1/2 Camaro SS
1968 El Camino
1966 Bonneville 2dr Hardtop

What I currently Drive:

2012 Mustang GT

How long will it be before the polititards ban our gasoline guzzling earth Killers?

Not long.

Sad.
