I know we been goof'n a little bit, OK, A lot but this is how friendships get started. Granted there hasn't been more talk about our Favorite car but sometimes you need a little change of pace to find out a little more about each other.

Grated I am the 'BUTT' of everyones jokes but I am glad to serve you all. I guess I could be maybe sorta kinda be the POA Mascot. ARF arf roof ruff ruff.

Here's a Story for ya;

My speech teacher, sent my parents a written report, "Gary is very Entertaining, The Class Buffoon, only if he could put his energy into his school work, he would be a straight "A" student." Boy do the poop hit the fan. My dad took my car(Corvette) away and had to drive a Cadillac for the summer and work at the Dealership being a janitor.
That was the summer I learned with about 3 or 400lbs in the trunk of a Coupe de Ville you could get the huge caddy to do a 4 or 5 inch wheelie if you hit the gas then the brake hit the gas then the brake, you could get the huge caddy to do a 4 or 5 inch wheelie.

Also I got in more trouble burning off the rear tires to the cord with 1200 miles on the car.

I don't why I am posting this but I did.

Does anyone else have a story of your younger years. We all have one, come on.

Do you want the one about getting a '75 VW Scirocco(sp?) airborne, or the one about running from the TN state boys in a '76 VW beetle?

Gary, I know you have seen the pix of TMS, then you saw the REAL BUTT looking at me in the back ground. It is a blast. Well whatever we did as a young one should remain in the past. If I share I'll be back at the shrinks office soon. Naaaaaaaahh! To impress the girls... neutral slams on the side of a wanna be girl friends house at 3am when I was supposed to be in at 1. To make it worse it took me 2 hours to get it towed home. Boy oh boy was my Dad pissed. I don't think I drove again for a month, then again I had to earn the money to replace the tranny. Ever since then, I just about put vehicles on a Golden Platform... My gosh, I'm sounding to old.

Just finishing up my work for the day(home office), listening to Neil Young on the stereo....was just thinking of a story from the past and then I see this post...flip the time machine back to the fall of 1967....had dropped off my girlfriend for the nite, I was 17 yrs old and had a new 68 GTO conv(dark green/blk)...was cruising up a very wide street, headed home, and all at once I am on the tail of a white 67 Bonneville conv....it was only doing about 20 mph...I impatiently followed it for about half a block when an arm came out of the window and motioned me to pass...well, being 17 and in command of a GTO, I down shifted to first and fish tailed around the big Indian....the Bonneville starts to chase me...we get to around 90 mph very quick, blow thru a stop sign at around 95 mph...they are blinking their lites and blowing the horn the entire time...a couple of blocks into the game I was well past 100 mph and they were fading fast...I slide thru a service station lot sideways and double back on the next street to lose them....they followed me....after several more blocks I reached a big intersection and did a 180 ....stopped, stood up in the seat(top was down)leaned over the windshield and gave them the finger with both hands...figured it was someone that knew me after following me so hard...well, the big Bonneville slides to a stop right on the bumper of my GTO and the car was full of off duty cops with their uniforms still on...they pointed various calibers and sizes of weapons at me, called for cruisers(3 showed up)....got ugly...was there for 2 hours explaining my story, which was a waste of time...the ticket had so many violations marked on it they had to write some of it on a second ticket....I had been giving the cops fits in my town for a year, they followed me daily, everywhere I went....was stopped 5 times in one afternoon....long story short, my dad learned the next day the whole thing was a set up....my tickets were dismissed and 2 of the cops were suspended for 3 days(public endangerment was the charge)...I soon traded for a triple black 69 Chevelle SS396/375hp conv...took them nearly a month but they found out what I was driving and were soon on my tail EVERYWHERE I went again...this lasted till I left for the military 18 months later....the Chevelle got in it's fair share of trouble also...Took me until I was about 20 to learn the accelerator had a position other than all the way down....Lucky to still be here after some of the stunts I pulled, luckily never had an accident or hurt anyone....should have had my *** kicked good back then....seemed like innocent fun at the time....we even played car TAG on the city streets...chased each other at high speed, had to get within a cars length to tag the car....we cut thru yards to hide, escape etc...drove the streets at over 100 mph with no lites, so we could sneak up on each other...usually had 6 to 8 cars in these games.....total insanity....

Then there was the time a neighbor fired a shotgun at my GTO (blew a hole in the passenger side rear quarter) was tired of me passing his house at near the speed of light I guess....My game was to go from my house to the T intersection 5 or 6 blocks down the street...would wind it to 100 mph then brake and downshift HARD so I didn't slide thru the local DC plant....this guy lived about half way there....guess he was PIS*ED

OK... there is really no trick to getting a Scirocco airborne. All you need is to be young, stupid, and running late... I was on a little country road in rural KY, trying to get home on time for something. Had just left a girlfriends house, last time I looked at the speedo it read 105... It was a straight road, but hilly. I hit one of those little hills and just heard a ZING sound when it came off the ground. We're talking horse country, tree and four rail fence lined country road. I just knew that a tree and/or fence was in my near future!

But, she landed, burnt a little rubber, and stayed right on track! I lifted my right foot and coasted probably a mile to the next stop sign. Thought I was going to DIE!


The TN story has a little more teeth though... I was probably 19 or 20, driving with another under 21 year old buddy from KY to Arkansas to meet a relative from TX. On the way home, with many empty beer cans in the back floorboard, and some other contraband in the ashtray.. we topped an interstate hill in TN only to see a state boy with a flashlight pulling every car over to the side of the road (it was dark too BTW)... Freaking out, I drove by the other cars and finally pulled over at the head of the line. We looked at each other, and at the state of the interior of the car and quickly surmised that we were going to jail in TN. Not a good thing!

Terrified, we looked back at the cops and cars behind us. The cops were concentrating on a Bronco like vehicle. They had removed the rear seat and had it leaning up against the guys truck. When we saw that, we realized that if they were looking that hard for something, then we were in big time trouble as soon as they shined a flashlight into our car!

So...since the cops were kinda busy. i shut off my lights. I had never turned off the engine. I started just easing up and down on the clutch, just enough to move the car without making any excessive engine noise. With the lights off, we crept down the birm until we crested the next hill, then I layed on the gas as much as one can in a VW beetle. I wouldn't let my buddy sit down, I had him facing backwards to tell me the instant the cops began pursuit.. it never happened! We got off the interstate at the next exit and hid behind a pizza place with our atlas, trying to plot a new route home without getting back on the interstate. When we finally figured out a route, we sped across the street to a gas station to beg for directions to this new route. The attendant couldn't understand our panicked state, or our ignorance, as we had just pulled off the route we were looking for to get to the gas station!

OK, one more... in the same bug, after a late night at the drive in with a bunch of guys... i was downtown stuck at a red light with not another car in site as far as I could see, none in front, or behind, or to the left, and none to the right as far as I could see, but the view to the right was somewhat obscured... so with the guys ribbing me to run the light, I finally took off, and ... you guessed it... the only thing coming from the right was a police car... up on the right was a UHaul truck. I pulled in front of the truck, backed up against it as close as I could, turned the lights off, and told everyone to duck! You could hear the four barrel on that crusier sucking some serious fuel as he sped right by us. I hung a U-turn and headed for home!

Don't try this stuff at home kids!

Mike (FPO)
