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?
