A Lakewood driver almost ran into me this morning in my town. You can imagine how I know for a fact they were from Lakewood. I just see this car getting closer and closer and cross the middle line. Heā€™s got his head bent down completely looking at his phone. I laid on the horn for a minute straight even after he corrected and Iā€™m kind of glad he was in the far left lane and I was turning right because I would have been loud.

Brother, sold my 1965 mustang fastback, that I had just did a rotisserie job on. Its how I changed our lives, got enough to pay cash for our place, moves several states away, and literally started over. Now I have what is close to a classic, 2002 SS Camaro with 20 thousand on it, and my daily is a 650rwhp 2010 SS Camaro :joy::rofl: paid for :+1: I have a nice turbo diesel also, but itā€™s used for homestead work. I never have much liked a truck, unless I needed a truckā€¦lol

Mines in need of the rotisserie job, but its numbers matching, pretty much all original, factory AC, and rare 3 speed on the tree. Technically 3rd owner, dad was 2nd, original had it for 6 weeks before moving to Colombia and selling to my pops. He planned to take it to colombia, but import / export / transport fees were ridiculous so he sold to my pops. Thats why the factory AC :smiley: I even have the original paperwork and window stickers. :smiley:

One dayā€¦ Sheā€™ll be restored properlyā€¦

At 38 Iā€™ve driven it one time and got a disapproving look when I hit second a little too enthusiastically lol.

My dad has a 70 Challenger thatā€™s been sitting for years too I might end up with if he doesnā€™t peel it off. Iā€™d love to have it but I grew up looking at the Mustang and if I had to choose one itā€™s not even close.

Bought my first car off my dad at 16.

He was original owner of a 70 charger, 383 with posi.

Every car since has been faster than the last.

Yeah you canā€™t go minivan after having a rocket for a first car! I started with a lifted truck so I didnā€™t pop my driving cherry with real speed out of the gate. I miss my 2011 Camaro SS thoughā€¦

Thereā€™s a Nick Swardson joke (back when he was more interested in being funny than drinking) where he was talking about seniors driving slow. Something like when heā€™s 80 heā€™ll be doing 80 cause heā€™s got less to lose and more living to pack in. He was like this could be a standard conversation-

Hey Nick I heard your grandmother died, Iā€™m so sorry. What happened?

Oh she flipped her Vette, we knew it would happen one of these days :laughing:
