I knew I recognized Queens! How clean the streets were back then, eh?

I'm in Queens Village, by Jamaica Ave and the Cross Island Parkway. Still pretty clean and quiet but the traffic is getting unbearable. .

Uncle Buddy's? Burned up. Still sitting there an eyesore because it was arson. Kevin and Brian still live upstairs next door.

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.
DAMN your sister got kik?
