I convinced my wonderful mom that I needed $500 for a car to make it back and forth to football practice. She bit, thinking what kind of trouble can a kid get into with $500?

I came home with a 1978 Datsun 280ZX, no floorboards, I working brake (rear passenger), no exhaust, and NO TITLE!

I drove it for six months like this, to and from practice with three other guys, until my mom found out there was no title, and promptly called the salvage yard to retrieve it!

Mind you, for those six summer months I drove that car like I was a seasoned Indy driver...on gravel roads no less!

Ah yes, to be young, invincible, and ingnorant again!

...well at least young and invicible.
