Favorite Automotive Memory

[Dasfinc]

Just your favorite 'car related memory', may it be buying your first car, or a cruise/meet you remember vividly, Lets here some!:

My favorite car memory was a few of the last 'nice' days from last fall in my mustang, because there was NOTHING like waking up at 8:50 AM, dropping the top with dew still on it, and firing it up on a cool/sunny morning for my short drive to work.

Summer nights back in high school. We'd all just pile in the car and just drive. Just drive....

My favorite memory is dropping a tappet holder down into some poor SHO owner's engine. It's still there. He doesn't know.

First time I ever modded my own car, put the cat-back on my SS. Then I just drove around for the next week endlessly with no radio on.

Mine has to probably be my first 11.9x run in the regal. Most of my experiences have been mostly downhill after that.

either that or when i called out an evo at a local spot in my sebring, everyone was like WTFBBQ??

Running 12.9 in my TA is a memory I look back favorably on.

Back in highschool a friend and I were being chased by about 7 dudes wanting to beat our asses. Called up another friend and drove to his house while they were still chasing us. He came out of his garage with a baseball bat and two of the dumbfucks had pulled in his driveway. Using their awesome teenage driving skills, they attempted to reverse high speed down the street and ended up totaling their brand new mustang and a GTP.

Running 12.5s in my TBSS with just bolt ons is probably my second fav. memory.

the whole time i owned my gtp. i never took so much pride in a car as i did back then. being known as "the guy with the grand prix" was a great feeling

i have SO many, i don't know where to begin.

what got me into cars was the fact my mom and my dad met at a local car spot back in the 70's, they both were into cars. my mom still is.. she knows more about them than i do at some points..





i can't pick just one so i will just post one.

my dad had a chenowth framed dune buggy with a vdub engine yeaaarrrsss ago before he passed away .. i remember going with him to get the emissions test done in waukegan in it one time and it began raining. it didn't have a roof panel on it, just a plex windshield and the metal shell around where doors would be on a normal car and around the protruding front end of the frame where your feet go on top or bottom and got soaked. good times

the first time i drove my 98 suburban as well. i'd never felt cooler in my entire life. everyone in my neighborhood looked at me (who i'd went to school with) that was out as i cruised up my street with all the windows open and some nice music coming through the stereo. everyone in school knew me as "the kid with the suburban" , i'm not going to lie.. i felt pretty bad ass. everyone after that and every car considered me to have nice cars because i always kept them clean.

i have so many car related memories, haha

My buddy had an Integra back in HS that he thought was hot shit and we'd cruise up to Geneva on Randall in it. Got it up to the 110 or whatever the limiter was on some back roads one night with 4 people in it. The clutch smell was horrible.

1. driving e36 m3 around and having people come up to me at gas stations to say nice car and watching people stop mowing their lawn to stare as i drove by
2. first track experience, sti with bmw driving school at gingerman raceway

beating a mustang GT in my modified Grand Prix GTP..

yes i was more modded.. yes i probably had more hosrepower... but it was still a hoot.


The GT owner was all cocky before hand... Shortly after, he bought a Grand Prix to daily drive

I know... Terrible isn't it!? I'm sure there's a special ring of hell reserved for people like me!

It was 7 years ago and I didn't know that I did it until a couple months after the job. It's still resting comfortably at the bottom of his oil pan I'm sure. I can laugh about it now.
