[LeeOtsubo]

A woman after my heart! That was the first new car I ever bought, in 1972! :D Mine was white with black stripes. I sold it six months later when the company transferred me overseas. Took a bath on the sale.

[Wendy]

They are pretty cars, but I will take the original over the new one any time.

[Jodi Frye]

Lee, sounds like it was real nice..don't ya wish you knew then what ya know now ?

BUTCH ! LMAO ! That is way too good ! Oh how I wish .... but are you sure you could handle being seen this way ? :) Way great. Thanks !

Wendy, yup, dreams are cheap :rolleyes:

pgreen, indeed I'm a classic car lover and probably always will be ( you can keep the Pintos tho )...but this one totally rocks me ...can't wait to piss off the Salespeople next year while ' just looking ' ..after I get them to let me test drive it :)

Nice car Jodi, but we are mustang fans. My hubby bought a new one about 2 years ago....man does he baby that nice red mustang!!! It is a cool car!!! I call it his midlifecrisis car! Oh, no, it isn't a convertible!

BUTCH:!!!!!! You are too funny!!! That was great!!!!

[phenn]

It's pretty cool, but check out this face:

You can almost hear it growling.

Colleen.. mine must be going thru his now. He has been shopping Mustang's all week. Must be a convertible, must be a stick, must be a v8. (is that right?.... must go fast!)

[Pauline]

Colleen too many parallels in our lives!!! My husband WANTED a mustang two years ago but I've managed to put him off. (a convertable though) This year he's getting one and I have to keep my mouth shut since he's been waiting so patiently. He adamently denies that mid life crisis exists!! (he'll be 50 Aug. 2008). So we'll be paying for a mustang and our eldest to be in collage this year. I've lost quite a few night sleep!

Jodi, you know my opinion on sports cars!! One place where we differ.

[CalamityJanet]

Yesterday I saw a '66 mustang going down the road...brought back great memories of a high school boyfriend. Then I got closer and the liscense plate was one of those that say "antique"!:eek: I thought those were reserved for those old restored Model T's! I feel so old.:(

[Tom K]

Jodi, I really hope that you get your wish...

Butch, super cut and paste job...

Tom :D

[CarolLHB]

Pauline, I think it's only a mid-life crisis, or male menopause, if he orders it in red!:D

[Robyn]

Fantastic job Butch!

[chas3stix]

phenn,
That classic will pass anything on the road....except a gas station....:D
Chas

[Pauline]

Funny Carol. Well I won't tell him that. I don't know what colour he's getting but I think he'll be getting used, so it will be whatever is available. I just don't want a yellow one!

[Jodi Frye]

phen, now that's a face ! It reminds me of someone but I just can't put my finger on it !

Re Mustangs...funny when they put the new mustangs out...I was totally in the love with retro meets the Jetsons and it was something I really really wanted ( I even used it as a theme in one of the contest here...the ' New ' contest...it was a ' new dream' at the time ;) .....but so many people have them now that I'm bored with it. ...Oh, and might I mention that most of the drivers are white haired...lol...we'll see what happens with the Challenger. :)

Thanks Tom...lotto would be the only way since I refuse tio have a car payment !

Pauline, I can't help it...it's in my blood. My brother builds and races classic stock as well. :rolleyes:

[Pauline]

Jodi I think that's why my husband wants it NOW before he's white haired!!! I think the reason for the white haired thing is that's when most parents finally get their kids out of the house and find they have a little money to spend on themselves!! (okay.......well I'm hoping that will happen!)

[mottcru]

Jodi - Love that car. I had a Dodge Charger in 1970. Similar, and did it go fast!! Butch, you made me LMAO too!!!! Sometimes the forum is the perfect place to start the day!

[Jodi Frye]

Pauline, exactly ! Who the heck can afford it when ya got kids ?? Besides, happy meals in the backseat of a new Challenger kind of just don't mix ! The hated minivan has become a breeding ground for candy wrappers, crayons, toys...all that back seat junk that I prefer to pretend doesn't exist ;)

Anyways, it will just be something esle to drool over at the end of the year :rolleyes:

[Jodi Frye]

Oops Betsy must have posted while I did... a 1970 Charger sounds awesome too ! Only had one nice car...don't even remember what year it was...a Firebird with a 400 in it that only did it's thing when it was real hot...so I had to drive it around a bit and beat on it a bit before i attempted to blow some doors away....ya, I was bad but that was in a past life ( seems like it anyways ;) )

[Pauline]

Well Jodi, I love my mini van!! I prefer to be higher up when driving, so mini van, truck, etc. are my favoured vehicles. When hubby brings his buddy's corvette home for the odd weekend, I feel like I'm sitting on the bloody road..........The one time he let me drive it I did like the feel of the gas pedal under my foot though!! I guess maybe I'm never too enthused when he brings it home is because I never get to drive (even though the friend said, it was okay...hubby doesn't like being in the passenger seat---well unless he's drinking and then I come in useful!!)

BUT when we get the new car, I'll be sure to post a picture for you.....along with the bank statement...............that will help heal the pain of your waiting for your turn.

Have a real soft spot in my heart for for the bird.....:)

[Ric Cisson]

Jodie, brings back memories of my first muscle car, '73 340 Duster with Hurst linkage 4 speed. Could not be beat in San Jose,:p Black with white pinstripping and chrome reverse wheels all around. I was in the Navy and eventually had to sell it to a college student at the time, sold it in '74, got back nearly what I paid in cold hard cash. I will always remember that next to my '32 Model B Ford with bored and stroked 302 Chevy small block with '70 Pontiac GTO rear end and 4 speed Muncie, deep metallic Monterey Blue paint job.

Yes there was another side to me besides a Navy Career.:D

[Jodi Frye]

Ric, well those are some fond memories I'm sure....no doubt your first true loves ;) A Romance that can't be broken....That was the downfall of dating motor heads....what to get for the car was always more important than what to get for the girlfriend :rolleyes: ...but then the girlfriend always knew that the best gift for the boyfriend was something for his car :) ...Ah what a girl did for love... key word; ' did ' :D

[baderms]

Jodi,

I would love to have one of these new callengers also but with my daughter entering college this year... Oh well maybe I can find a good used one in about 10 years after my son graduates. :D Meanwhile here's a take on it for you.

[chas3stix]

Mark, is the smile from a recent oil change? Or maybe a tankful of high octane gas?
Chas

[Jodi Frye]

Mark, that's wonderful...certainly put a smile on my face ! I said I wouldn't want another car payment so it's not bloody likely I'll have one of these beauties either... lotto sucks ! ...Most of the time i only get one number right ! Maybe if I played more than $2 a week I'd have a better chance :rolleyes: I wouldn't mind a car payment...if cars weren't the worst investment of all time ! They say ya lose $5,000 of it's worth the second you drive it off the new car lot. I can't make that work for me ;)

[Tom K]

Hey Jodi; Forgot to tell you that I just bought a brand new 2007
Dodge Charger. Metallic silver, goes fast, good road car. :D Tom

[Jodi Frye]

TOM !!! :eek: You did ??? ...Or are ya yankin' my chain ?

http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/gallery/view_img.php?id=2417
is it as hot as this one ?
Lucky dog

[Tom K]

Yes I did Jodi... You should see the looks I get at the stop lights. Not to many of them out there yet... Tom :D

[pgreen7436]

I never kept a picture of them but... I had a '69 Mustang Coupe with the 302 and a '69 Chevelle with the 350, Rochester Quadra-Jet, 4 on the floor with a Hurst linkage and a full bench seat. Man!! I miss that car a lot!! I just wish that I would have kept pictures of them. Oh, almost forgot the '72 Pontiac LeMans Deluxe with the 400/400 PowerGlide 2spd tranny. God I'm getting younger just thinking about them.:D :D :D
