dad's first family car, 63 bonny converitble, created passion for me to be a pontiac man. he was unwilling to get me a gto in high school, so a beat to hell lemans it was.

hopefully we can add a grand prix to the family at some point.

Well put;
I agree with this whole-heartedly.
But this age thing still does scare the crap out of me sometimes...

Looks like those of us 50-60 are leading the poll by a bunch.
Think maybe it's because when we were in high school in the 70's to early 80's mid to late 60's to early 70's Muscle Pontiacs were fairly cheap, and cooler than the run of the mill Camaro or Chevelle?

63 with two wifies under the belt....no more for me....
And some ponchos I've had longer than both.... 40+years worth of marriage.
I have found out the ponchos are a WHOLE lot cheaper to maintain.

What's kinda funny to me is looking at the poll results and seeing what members fall into a particular age bracket. Most people I estimated correctly based on clues in their posts over the years: their writing style, choices in music, references to children/grandchildren, experiences in their youth, etc. A few were younger than I assumed, and some were older.

I guess it's the personal connection that cars have with people. Whether you drove it in High School, drove it to your honeymoon, made 3 kids in the back seat, or use it as a casket - it's the story in it that makes the difference to me. I love seeing the survivor cars pulled out of a barn with a crappy aftermarket stereo, bolt on accessories from 1981, and a Bad Company cassette under the seat.

This was a cool thread. Well done!

I graduated HS in 1981 and had the money in the summer of 1980 to buy a 69 RA III/4spd Judge in the next town but my Father refused to allow it.

Wise man he was because in October of that same year I totaled my mother's Pontiac Pheonix and in the spring of 1984 when he did let me buy my 1977 Formula, I blew the motor on the second day I owned it.

Racing a Porsche 911 down I91 heading back to school I spun a bearing.

I may be stupid, but I'm not scared.
