Way Back Pics: You and Your Cars/Motorcycles/Etc

Don't have any way back pics per se, as I've only been driving since 2012, but I do have a few pics.

April 3rd, 2014. The day I got my Regal. I was still 15. Drove it until November 2014 when a bad headgasket took the V6 out. Then I joined this here forum.

Me and my littlest sister on the hood of my 1970 Thunderbird I bought in December of 2015 on a whim for 650 dollars. 429, MSD ignition, 2.5 inch dual exhaust with H pipe. Holley 600. Sounded sweet. The front end fell out from under it. What can you expect from 46 year old rusty parts? Shortly after I basically replaced the whole front end, did a derpy alignment on it, and it rode like a cloud. Straight as an arrow. I bent a pushrod doing burnouts and sold it for 1000 last May.

My dad and his 1981 Grand Prix. He bought it for 1474$ back in 1995. He traded a stereo amp and 50 bucks for one of the first runs of Centerline Scorpion wheels in 17" size. He drove it as a DD until it flattened a cam lobe and the TH200c bit the dust. Sold it to my uncle in 2001/2002 who ripped the 350 olds out of it, which is currently in my dad's garage, and plopped a SBC in it. He then sold it and we never saw it again.

That's about all I got.

my first regal.

Back in the day.

I have quite a few pictures of my car... but not a lot of me with it! This is about all of em. I was at my poppops farm getting senior pictures, and got a couple candids with the car haha. I cant remember exactly when these were taken. Judging by the wheat, I'm going to say Fall 2015.

LukeZ, that's about the textbook perfect Elco, complete with vintage black plate and one of these:
I remember scaring the crap out of my prom date in 10th grade getting air in the wagon on old Smithbridge Road near the state line.

Thank you! I try to keep her looking this way The Flux Capacitor was a great mod; the only downside is that it puts a pretty big load on my alternator lol. And no way, air time in your wagon? I've read your build thread on it, and it looks like you have plenty of memories made with it!

That was my first G-body. It saved my bacon 30 years ago when a drunk driver plowed into me. The worst injury was cuts to my scalp when the rear hatch shattered and the sudden stop blew it all forward into the back of my head.
