I was more a three deuces guy, as in my '66 GTO.
please tell me you kept it in a shed somewhere and still have it...
It was funny in high school. My good friends, in a whopping class of 53, had a 66 Goat, but not tripower, another had
a 442 with ram air/W40? and another had a Nova sedan with a 396 in it. Very special order.
And me? A clapped out 56 Chevy wagon, no not a Belair..., handed down to me after going through two older brothers.
265 and a Powerglide. What a beater that thing was. I could never understand how my friends could afford all these expensive cars, until
I better understood my parent's complete disinterest in materialism. We were land rich and cash poor and that was a fine way to grow up.
Bought my first new car, a 1971 Toyota Corolla 1600 coupe in 1971, two weeks before I graduated college, with a four speed and a 110hp "hemi" engine.
Time to get going. Need to shower and carefully shave this mess of a neck and go pick up my honey at the hospital this afternoon.
Well, get driven there, this not driving is really a pain. Hoping to cheat a little in a couple of weeks and put the soft collar back on.
I worked on cleaning up the house yesterday and after an hour I was horizontal in bed wondering "what had I done". Slowly. Slowly.
Good friends came over yesterday and spent several hours weeding our garden. I can't wait to see what it looks like. We had a planting party and let's say some serious non gardeners helped out, so the rows are pretty funny to look at but who cares.
As we have talked about elsewhere in this forum, and will forever I'm sure, good friends are the best things in life.
