1974 Firebird. Came green from the factory. My Dad and I painted it brown.

Looked like this. Like Jim Rockford's car.




Doors weighed like 500 lbs. Was your typical-for-the-era-rolling-piece-of-GM-crap. Never ran right. Swallowed gallons of gas. This car and the $150 dollar bulletproof 1976 Toyota Corolla my girlfriend bought from my buddies Dad are what drove me to Japanese cars in college. Living in California in the 90's is what drove me to German cars.

I've owned 1 American car since college. A dirt cheap GMC diesel truck with my younger brother. It runs, sort of, after you juice it with starter fluid.
