This made me think of my first vehicle a fire engine red 1980 jeep pickup with a 360 that went through gas like it had a hole in the tank, but could go anywhere which it did. Many days during my senior summer I would head to the Pembina hills and tear up some mud puddles. But I was alway in love with my uncles (dad's 3rd brother) 1971 monte carlo 454 ss in a sky blue and black vinyl interior that you could burn your ass cheecks if you weren't careful. A guy that my dad worked with had a 87 grand national that had a blown engine so he put in a 383 stroker that would over heat so he would drive around with the hood off. I knew little about that car and apparently he didn't either because he should have rebuilt the motor that was in there since the grand national was the fastest production car on the market in the states.Never got to see the old man's 1969 dodge charger with 440 big block in crazy purple, his brother 2nd brother had a 70 road runner in cherry red I don't know what the motor was though. My mom had a 1968 mercury couger in emerald green and black interior with a 318 for a motor. Her sister had a 1964 ford thunderbird black 4 door with red interior, 390 motor, and had the fat man's steering wheel and swivel front bucket seats. Dad sold his charger and bought a 68 chevy pickup from the Montana forestry service, I remember it had the spotting scope next to the driver side door vent, he would use it when we would go out at night to check the trap line. You could see a long ways off without having to get close to the traps becuase you could see their eyes.They would be all nice collector cars to have today but my favorite would be the 71 monte carlo because I was able to take it to my senior prom. Man I sure do miss those days of ignorance to the reality of life's problems that we face everyday only to find happiness in finding some mudholes so we could see if we could get stuck.So share some of your early memories of those great rides that you wish you had today or post some pics if you still have them.</blockquote>
