The Best/Worst Ride You Ever Had
Since we were talking urban legends some of the responses were of fond memorys of the past so i thought i would start a tread about the best or worst cars we ever had.
In my case i would have to say that my best car was my worst car. It was a 69 4dr plymouth valient. I got it in a trade for my 74 chevy short box 4x4. The guy pulled up to buy my truck with this old blue faded rusting bucket of a car. He made me a deal on the truck, then it occured to me that i don't have a driver now. So i said i'll give you $400 off if you give me this car, he agreed. It had one of those chrysler industructable sixs in it that actually ran pretty good. Needless to say over the next year i drove the s**t out of that car while i was in the process of finishing my hot rod, never changed oil, never washed it, just put gas in it and drove. Once i was done with it i sold it to my buddy for $400, he drove it the same way i did, then sold it back to me a year later for $100. i drove the p**s out of it for another year, then gave it to my sister. She drove the same way for another year then finally hit a curb and tore the front end off it. I think in the 4 years we had it, it might of seen a wash 4 or 5 times, but no oil changes no maintance, i tore the exaust off it earlier on ripping through a farmers field, never replaced it, tires were bald, nobody cared, but that car just would'nt give up the ghost, we had alot of fun with that beater
Calling out car models.. my brother and I made a game out of that. we could be walking down a street or riding along in the car with our parents and who ever could say the model name the fastest...
How did you get hooked on cars?
