You Know You Are Old When

I have a '74 Nova. I can tell a '73 by the bumper difference.

When I was in high school, those early- and mid-70's Nova's seemed to be every high school kid's old hand-me-down car from parents or grandparents. Who knew that someday they'd be desirable?

I had one friend who bucked the trend, he had a Duster with a slant-6. Rebel.

When I was in HS, those were what somebody bought to build.

What difference? Other than yours has a trim strip. The bigger area behind the bumper?

Yes. '74 has a "shock absorbing" bumper, so it sticks out more. I had a '67 I liked much better.

Nice Nova!
Once upon a time I had a ‘74 SS 350, gold with the black hood & trunk stripes , traded my ‘67 RS Camaro for it, wish I had both back now

You know you are getting old when your kids start drawing Social Security and signs up for Medicare.

I think garry1p takes the all time best comment on this post!!!

Or is it a clone?

One of the reasons I went from a wood-burning stove to a pellet stove. Don't have to climb up on the roof once a month to clean the stove pipe.

We love our wood burning stove
24’ to the ceiling. I use the flexible
Rod cleaning kit once a year, No getting on the roof,we burn about 7+ cords a year, all from our property!
