"So this is how it starts"

[MidwayJ]

When I was that age (80 tomorrow) my brother and I used to run through the house with pot covers pretending they were steering wheels; had the “bug” ever since!
Unfortunately (for me) my kids and grandkids never got the addiction

My kids never did, either, but it's turning out well after all. My daughter is engaged to a car guy. And he's much more skilled than me at mod installs.

I had a '87 Shelby Charger GLH-S. Almost nobody I talk to these days has heard of it. It would lose to LX 5.0s, but Shelby Automobiles / Mopar came out with a "Stage 2" chip (swapped out the entire 80's computer in the kick panel) and the tables turned.

Those old turbos with lots of lag were super FUN. Nothing....nothing....nothing then SLAM!

This is what mine looked like. Had a 6 speaker Bose system, with a CD player. It was kind of a nice car and quite the sleeper. It had a freakin' luggage rack and I was gapping people.

I smell a rider to the premarital agreement.

Best wheel option too, nightmare to clean though lmao

They were. Sorry OP, for the hi-jack.

I had an '89 LeBaron GTC 2.2 turbo. Bought it brand new in '89. It was a fun fast car back in the day. It would beat a stock square eye '85-'86 Mustang GT back then, which was pretty much the "big boy" on the block.

Mine had the 3l v6. Don't know how it compares but it was quick enough to be fun.
Mine came with the gold honeycomb hub caps. I don't think I had it a month before I put wheels on it. I do still have those hubcaps in the basement....

GTC is the intercooler one, right? That thing was very fast for it’s day…

Yep, it was very quick for the time. I never got embarrassed.

My grandsons wanted to play in Papa's car. So I put them some of my old retired helmets. Buckled them up and let them play. They had a blast. It's the simple things of life that I really appreciate. My daughter said "so this is how it starts"

Love your seat belts! Much better than the typical 3-point belts.
