Funny story.

Second car was a 1982 (not sure of the year) Pontiac Firebird,metallic brown with a huge phoenix decal on the hood,also it was also a T-Top (important for the story)

Closed the restaurant my parents owned early that night so i went to the local blockbusters,got some VHS movies and a 12'' meatball sub from Mr. Sub.

I loved the T Top and i always had both sides off and stored in the trunk but it started to get cold so i put both of them on,forgot to ''latch'' the top on the passenger side and when i was on the road (probably doing 70 miles or so) i hear a SWIIIIISHHHHH!!!!

And yeah as you can imagine the passenger side of the T Top just flew off!!
Stopped and went back but it was all broken,hehe i still remember that day.it's not really thing but i always laugh when i remember it,i was such a dumb kid back in the day hehe

    My first car was a 1972 Cutlass Supreme but it didn’t look near as good as this picture.

    Good story. I was driving Dad's 1972 Plymouth Duster and didn't close the door good. Spinning a "brodie"(sp?) in a parking lot, the door flew open and hit a metal pole. Tried my best to pull out the dent, did bondo and got some matching spray paint (not a bad job actually) Dad noticed immediately the next morning (he's the one that taught me to do body work) He was ...... but sort of complemented my effort.

    Listening to:



    and thinking of my top 3 cars i would buy if i won the lotto,no rolls,bentleys or mercs,just pure muscle:

    Eleanor from the movie 60 seconds,exact replica would be my first choice.
    Second would be a 1964 Pontiac GTO and a close 3rd would be a 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda.

    Even thou I'm Spanish but i lived in Canada for a long time (dual citizenship) but i love muscle cars.
    As a mechanic i suck,couldn't even change the windshield wipers if i had to but the love i feel for muscle cars has no bounds.

    That would've been a Pontiac Firebird Trans-AM. Nice car! I bought a similar one in 1976.

    Must have been,i mean that was in the early 90's...almost 30 years ago,some details are just a bit foggy but yeah i think you right it was a Trans-Am.
