Favorite Car

[chittybangbang]

Mine is my '74 Bonneville 4dr, like this but shit brown. Had it at age 16-17 and that car really took care of me and probably is the reason I'm still alive. I went off the road a lot, drunk, stoned. Never slowed down in the winter. I don't know how many times I watched that thing being winched out of ditches like Luke Skywalkers X-wing in Dagoba swamp. I don't know how many times it was impounded either. It rode well, was heavy and stuck to the road well, carried a lot of teenagers out past curfew. Bounced a lot of deer off that car too on those back roads through endless Iowa cornfields. Pretty decent 400-4v motor, didn't mind being run for 30 miles at 120mph with the pedal in the carpet. Pretty much the perfect car for a teenager without parental supervision. I don't want another one, but I really respected what a good car that was.

I'm with ya there.Best friend in high school had a 73 grandville convertible. w/ a 455 and chit brown.Too bad the central NY winters took its toll on the car.I'm pretty sure she sold it for 350 bucks in '88
