So i got invited thru my moms car club (its a f-body club) to "feature" the space herpie at a local high schools prom saterday night. I guess there putting some cars along the "red carpet" and having photo ops with the cars. Should be fun the guy said we can come to his house early to polish our cars up hahaha wait till he sees my car... ill get some pics of this little shin dig. who knows maybe i can inspire a kid to buy/build a hotrod/kustom with his graduation money (lord knows i never got any look at my spelling haha) But i was just excited and wanted to share even though ill stick out like a whore in church.

And try to wash yourself as well as the car before you go! Tmans right, NO lazy eye!! Hate to have to fund a Get Bry outta Jail card! xxx Brandy
Cool Bryan, sounds like fun. Start a rumor that you are Jessy James and thats the car from Monster Garage, You just look different on TV
Perhaps they invited the herp to show kids that drinking and playing with cars is never a good idea. You sure it's not a M.A.D.D. invite?
I dont know wtf is wrong with people............my ssiter for instance...shes 16 or so.......hell im only 23...... ...she refuses to even GET in my van or my fathers coupe.....we picked her up from school once in my van...she practically cried and hid in the back. same thing with the prom....we went to take some pictures at the school....my van is pretty much my daily and shewas pissed. the worst part is....for the most part everyone else seems to dig the cars/van. my godfather took his son to his friends house in my fathers coupe the other day...and he tried to make him drop him off at th eend of the street!!!!!!!! amazing!!!!!!
I would love to be seen in the back of your van. Of course we would need to fit it with a hot tub, a wine rack, some lawnchairs, and lots of leapord print. You wouldn't mind if I wear my thong would you?
heck totally understandable, your van isn't low enough, and the coupe is running an sbc and 4 link in the front... who would wanna ride with them! just kidding.... i would sure be proud if i was 16 and got picked up or dropped of school in cars like that... my dad used to pick me up in his 1937 chevy delivery when i was i school, sure never was ashamed of riding that one
Whats wrong with kids these days? My little bro is 16 and when i ook my chevy over to his house for the first time he made me drive him to all his friends house's and show it off haha and asked me to pick him up from school one day but i had to work. And my little bro isnt even into cars unless there on a video game. But yea this should kinda funny to go do this. i guess most of my moms car club is all irocs and shit so me and my mom will have the only old cars there (she has a 67 camaro) Ill try that JJ thing rudy hahahaha i laughed when i read that one. And its senoir prom they all should be near 18
It goes to show that if its not a HOnda or TOyota...its not schitt! Back to the van and coupe...I would have run in those any day...its much better than my dads Telephone INstallers van w/ the back up beeper or my first car...a 1976 Honda CVCC that blows smoke. (that thing was a pile of crap!) Congrats on the showing....make it good and convert some of them over from the rice patty cars. Gotta post picts...
My first two kids drove a '66 Mustang coupe to high school. Poppy red for the first and repainted black for the second. The third wanted to be different, just like everybody else, so I let him drive my coupe for his senior year. Now, he's out of college, driving a Honda and wants me to give him (GIVE him) one of my cars. I don't think so.
my daugther is 11. she has been in old tin since birth. we moved to a better city with better schools. you pull up to the front of the school and all you see is Benz, Bmw, Porsche and here i come with my 58 F100. she has never been embarrssed in the past about the cars. i thought for sure she would be at this school. nope! all her friends like it. they come to check it out after school. especially when i come in different old cars once in awhile. she tells me dad can we go to school early and pick me up early too, when i'm driving a different car. she wants all her friends to see. there like man your dad has the coolest rides. even one of the parents said i have to buy one of those. the funniest thing a kid has said was " man this car is old. it doesn't it even have air bags or a cd player." i wish i had air bags to slam it on the ground. what do you mean yes it does.
I was only disappointed by my son when he chose my dad's car over my roadster for his prom last week. Although I do understand the choice of a hiboy over a full fendered car The kid and grandpas car I was some what redeemed when Roberts buddy asked me if he could use my roadster, so my car got to go to prom too! Their Prom was last Wednesday it had been a pretty rainy day, with rain predicted for the evening. Robert got lucky though and the rain stopped and roads were dry in the early evening. he picked up his date and went to the prom in the hiboy. we met him at the venue with a mustang convertible and took the hiboy home, incase of rain after the prom. The other fellow borroing my roadster didn't have to worry since mine has a top and fenders, but an open wheeled topless hiboy would make short work of a prom dress/suit when driving in the rain. I crashed about 10 that night, it was pouring outside. At about 12:30am I woke to hear my roadster pull up outside. I looked out and saw my son and his date in the rumble seat with his buddy and date up front, top down and the kids were having a blast. Turns out when they left the prom at 11:30 the rain had stopped, they had cruised around down town for a while taking pictures and then returned the mustang to my parents home. They had just arrived at our house to pick up the hiboy, now that the streets wrer dry they were ready to continue the evening with two roadsters. I turned 'em loose and didn't see them again util the next evening. The kids had a ball with the rods and I was thrilled to have been able to let 'em do it. Mike
Cword, thats cool. Man! What a zoot suit your kid has on! On the flip side... It amazes me that some kids actually don't even know what an old car is. Thats just weird to me. I simply can't compute that in my head.... Are those types of kids mentally challenged or something?
That's awesome! I wish the kids at my school appreciated old cars more. My friend levi calls my Biscuit a POS, and tells me that my '92 SC300 is "Johnson county pimpin' " and that I should sell the Chevy for a bodykit for the lexus. (the funny thing is, almost everything on my Chevy works better than everything on the lexus) Oh well, A kid I know pretty well Restored an '84 Dodge ram with his dad, and It's pretty cool, and A girl in my Choir class has a '66 Mustang, so all hope isn't lost. I told a girl in my French class about my Chevy and she said "oh my god! does it have a CD player??" "nope." Air conditioning? nope. "well, your car must suck." "ok but it's 45 years old." "Wha..... dude...."she said."my mom isn't even that old!"
That still sounds weird to talk about RESTORING an 84 model anything! I'm in denial that an 84 model is old enough to restore. I can't be that old yet...
This isn't any different than it's always been guys. Some people see Hot Rods as trash, others see them as bitchen pieces of Americana. DirtyT, just remember that she's a girl too. Loud, smelly, "unfinished" vehicles often don't appeal to the fairer sex
My dad took me to school (4th- 5th grade) in his black '40 ford sedan (w/ 16" wide whites & spray can flames) I dug it of course, but my friends said "why is there fire on his car?" I live by a high school, and I think they just think I'm wierd for driving a crusty model A roadster.
I could give a FUCK what the local high school shitheads think about me and my car. Buncha spoiled ricer lovin brats around here. Their necks still stretch and the heads follow when I go by. I stuffed 22 people into an 80 Honda Accord back when I was a HS sophomore, 12 (!!) years ago. The Byooik would have been so much more fun back then.
After I cut the top off my Chevy, I got TWICE the attention I did before. I was driving past my old Alma Mater, when a couple of punk kids come blowing out of the driveway to the school. Can we say DITCHERS DITCHERS!! They pulled up beside me at the first light, then the second, then behind me, then beside me again. I just kept looking straight ahead, sunglasses on, one arm on the top of the door and the other across the steering wheel......FINALLY the driver says Um hi, hi, yeah um that's a really cool FLOWER you have in your hair. We really like it! About fell outta the car! FLOWER? WTF!? So onto the next light, me STILL spitting feathers. At the next light, they pull up again. I look over in ABLSOLUTE dismay, because he's driving a CHRYSLER CORDOBA with go fast graphics and a loud stereo and all he can say is nice flower? Some kids! Bet if it had been a mid 80's Camaro, he'd of been ALL OVER the car! First day of school for my boy, he's going in Mama's 55 Pontiac!! AND HE"S EXCITED ABOUT IT!! He's my Pontiac Kid.....and I couldn't be prouder! xxx Brandy
im not allowed to look at the young girls my ole lady wouldnt like that haha.. but she does like my dirty unfinished car with all its sharp edges and nasty scars.
i'm proud to say there's about half a dozen kids at my old high school (where i sub) that "get" why i run black steelies and thin whites on a 60s car. alot of em do like the old stuff, but this pimp my ride bullshit is the fuckin devil... i love it when they ask me what kind of wheels i'm going to put on it...
