Mine was a 1970 Charger R/T with 440. I used to drive that to work every day. One way was 8 miles. I used to fill that up 3 times a week, but in the late '80s gas was still cheap. I once got in a fender bender with a rice burner and my car had a quarter sized ding next to the bumper. The other car needed to be toed away on a flat bed.
The other was a '79 SE/TA I drove through college. The last valuable lesson I learned was it's probably a good idea to wear your seat belts when your upside down in a t-topped car. It got totaled, but I never missed a day of wearing seat belts since that incident.
