"I'm thankful for the 1978 Regal I've had since I was 15 (almost 40 years) I'm also VERY thankful for the Holley Sniper EFI I installed this year which makes me work extra hours for tires."
Built6spdMCSS
"My buddy Ronnie, knew him for a long time. He had a shop and when I bought my SS in November 2010 he closed for a week after Christmas of that year and we built my SS into a running & driving car. Had a couple buddies come over too during that week and we got it done. In with a 305/2004R, drove out with the LS/T56. We did alot of cruising around after that having fun with the car. He passed away a few years ago from dimensia. Was a great guy would help anyone he could.
With his help at the time it got the SS setup into what I've built it currently into. Took these pics before I lowered the nose but they work."
Drkuhar
"I'm thankfull that when i sold my car in 1999 that the guy stripped the performance parts and left it at his moms house and never the transferred the title. 18 years later i got it back to build a second time and on paper it was mine the whole time. This was the pic of the first time i saw it in 18 years."

"I'm thankful that my Dad bought this car new in 1978 and I am now the caretaker."
MrSony
"I'm thankful for my car as a whole, it taught me how to problem solve, think on the fly, and become adept at emergency fixes. And arguably, the fact it was my first car, made me a better driver. No abs, no ipad in the dash, no distractions or nanny devices."
pagrunt
"Since we were called out (in a good way of course) he's the Jr. Mechanic being entered under me for this month. I'm thankful he has motor oil running through his veins & wants to do a father & son project. He's thankful for having his first car & having a dad who'll help getting him get it ready."

One month later lost job and had to start over in a new field. Sold off all my parts. Almost had to sell the car. Thankfully I did not have to part ways."
DonF
