I wasn't driving, but the family had a maroon, 4-door Olds Delta 88 and a late-70's, 4-door green Toyota Corolla wagon with a stick shift. Looked like these, only much more beat-up since they had age on them when we had them:

At the beginning of the year, I was driving an American Motors/Renault POS like this, only in white.

By the end of the year, I was driving a Nissan Sentra sedan like this, only mine was brown.

My car was a 75 cutlass 442, drove it from 83/89. Wish I still had her. Black on black beauty! I was driving it to school for Jr high and high school. It won the state high school drag races three years in a row. I don't miss all the transmissions I blew up. But hey young and stupid.

I was in college that year.

Man, there are a lot of kids here!!

I've always loved those! If I could pick one 70's car, the Olds 442 convert would be one of the top 10.

In 1987 I was driving a 1973 Chevy "Heavy Half" long bed pickup with a 350 and 3 on the tree. Smog laden no power 2 barrel carb. That all changed, moved the shifter to the floor, kept the 3 spd, added an Erson cam, hooker headers, edelbrock intake and a Holley carb. Yea, I ditched ALL of the emmisions of the day and dame that truck woke up. It'd sure boogie for a big ol pickup. 15x10 wagon wheels on all four corners and cooper short wides. Frigidaire white, mustang bucket seats and an "Igloo' 36 quart center console. Oh, can't forget the sliding glass back window and gunrack. Yes, I'm redneck and proud of it. ::yeehaa::

302, good motor! For the time anyaway. Now that I think about it, in 1987 I also had one of these...

Funny it was almost exactly like that one, a 1978 Suzuki 550E. The E meant mag wheels and rear disk brake, and I put a 1/4 faring on it and a Yoshimura 4:1 header/stinger combo.

Great, bulletproof bike that flat tracked on fire roads and got 45mpg on the freeway. I really wish that woman didn't pull in front of me, for several reasons...
