My first car was a 56 Chevy. I was used to it back then, but that was 1982. And yes, I got lots of "I used to have one just like that" stuff.
and hopefully you didnt have a YOM lic plate! lol... I drove mine to lunch one day,sat outside eating my burger ,two guys come out ,sit at table next to me... one says to his buddy: "nice car(pointing to the Bird), what is it ? a GTO?"
smart buddy says: "No its a Firebird"
stupid guy says: "How do you know"?
smart guy:"it says so right there on the fender" ..lol
