1982 single cab manual shift ford ranger with a rebel flag stitched into the roof. And that 2 wheel drive with that 1 back wheel spinning would go anywhere those 4 wheel drive trucks would go!!!! Ended up selling it to a black man with the rebel flag still in the top :)

1983 Cutlass Salon. Black with grey plush interior. Had a sixer and would spin the back tires at the drop of a hat. That car got about 10mpg. Every reggin I ever worked with wanted to buy it from me. Even the lawn men at Millsaps asked about it.

'86 Nissan Maxima; silver. Bought it from a guy in Greenwood in '96. He had kept a record of everything he'd done to the car. 190k miles and looked like it had just rolled off the show room floor. That little sob would flat out get it. Discovered that it would hold 15 folks with the windows down and sunroof open. Drove it till my sophomore year of college and it never spent a single day in the shop. Still see it around town from time to time.

My dad worked for the phone company, So he brought home a 1971 dodge van ( in 1985)with a slant 6, 3 on the colum. Found some old captains seats and a CB. Painted over the Bell green so it was white over silver. Could mow lawns after school or put the old couch in the back.

I had an 86-89(can't remember year) Mazda RX-7 with the turbo. It would hall ass. I paid 400 bucks for it and put a master cylinder and a paint job and covered the seats and drove like a mad man. I has it for 2 years and sold it for 3000. I had about 1200 in it.

'61 convertable 'vette....baby blue w/white insets, white rag top and white interior. dad bought it for my sister, but she couldn't drive it so it sat in the garage for 8 yrs waiting on me (she backed over a stop sign and that was the last time she drove it....thank goodness, 'cause she ended up being pretty hard on cars).

Golly! Y'all all had cool rides. I had a 1976 Ford Pinto. 4 cyl, no A/C, 4 on the floor, and pre-recall. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Now, when I went off to school, I inherited my grandfather's old 1972 Ford Bronco with the the 302 and three on the tree. God, I wish I still had that thing. No A/C, 2 gas tanks, and fun as H3LL!!!!!!!
