Martin, please lay off the mullet jokes for those of us who still sport them! We're just fashionably impaired...

See now you're just gloatingI waited most of my life to sport the old Kentucky Waterfall but by the time I was at liberty to do so, I had more hair coming from my nose and ears than I did on my head
The older I get, the better I was

I'm not sure if this counts. First car my parents bought me when I was 16. I had been saving ($2500) to put towards a car for myself, they said that wouldn't get me a good car. So instead my dad and I decided on this 1988 Camaro, 305 TBI, automatic and t-tops. At 16, that $2500 went to the first year and a half of insurance. After many lies from my dad regarding the title of the car, I stopped caring for the car. After I ran it into the ground and purchased my OWN vehicle, this went into storage. My dad has already spent about $4000 getting it in running condition again, and it still needs $5000 in paint and bodywork because it got hit 3 times while it was parked. My dad decided he needed the $2200 in insurance checks than I did and more than the car needed to not have dents. Anyway, end of that rant lol, big can of worms there.
All issues aside, I babied this car for the first 2 years I drove it. Washed it almost weekly, took it to the weekly gearhead gathering, purchased a built 355 to throw in it but was told AFTER that I was not allowed lol. This picture was early on, I later installed a ram-air/cowl hood from Cervini.

I'm turning 28 later this months and I have yet to buy my first car.
I used to drive my parents car, but after I moved out (and mostly before as well) I've gotten around more than adequately on foot, bicycle and public transport.
I haven't seen E.T. or any of The Godfather installments either. My life is still very awesome.

Over here we would assume you had at least 3 DWI convictions to be still riding a bike at the age of 28.....but over there it's probably not the case.... LOL

If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.
