re: #345 palmerskiss

my first car was a panoz roadster, which i subsequently crashed on i85 heading out of atlanta - my parents had the car rebuilt, and i crashed it again.

my children will not be receiving a sports car… and all i wanted was a jeep cherokee lol, but my mother was not having that.

My first car (in 1976) was a 1968 Chevy Bel Air - straight six, no air, no radio, no nothing but go-anywhere beast. I thought I killed it in 1982 and got rid of it. Turned out the problem was engine seals instead of a cracked block. I kick myself every time I think about it, but console myself recognizing I am not as mechanically ignorant as I was then.
