[LEAKYSEALS951]

I remember watching back to the future for the first time in 1986 on VHS. I had just gotten my first car ( a 1966 porsche 912). It, like many 911's/912's, was rusted thoroughly with a broken loose rear torsion tube and non-existent rockers and pillars.

After months of learning to weld and spread bondo, the car was in the leveling phase of painting. My dad led the way on the project. At dinner, we grilled some big t bone steaks, and chowed down on them, watching Marty and Doc. I remember watching the movie, and being so inspired- ran downstairs and block sanded the s#$% out of the thing (1:00 am in the morning or something like that).

As a teenager, I remember being somewhat disappointed after watching the movie, going back to the 912- No rear flares, no impact bumpers. It wasn't a delorian, it couldn't fly, and it wasn't capable of time travel, but it was mine, and it was all about possibilities. Today, if I could choose between a delorian and my first car- I'd choose that 912 1000 times over.

Good memories.
