First Car Stories

Awesome story man! My first car was a 72 demon, slant six, 3 speed manual on the floor. Dad bought it for me so we could fix it up together. You know, father son project type of thing. I remember that if I pressed the clutch pedal too far down it would stick to the floor! I vividly remember sitting at a stop light on a road that went up hill, and damn near rolling back in to the car behind me as I was trying to fetch the clutch pedal lol. That car got me in to a bunch of trouble at school. Not that it was fast lol, it was noisy as hell. The lifters needed to be adjusted badly, and the original exhaust was pretty much rotted off. I went hauling *** thru the back parking lot at school chasing my buddy in his turbo dodge shadow. We came around the corner and there was a student teacher walking with a special needs kid. I missed them by a good 6 feet, but I got reported to the principal. The next day I show up for school and get called into the office. I open the door and there stood a city of Aurora police officer. My buddy was already in the office. We were both written tickets for "Failure to yield to a handicapped pedestrian" and " Wreckless driving". I had to got to court with my dad. He wasnt too mad. My mom was furious! She didnt even know about it until after my dad and I went to court! I ended up with ZERO points left on my drivers license until I turned 18. Needless to say, I drove like a saint for almost two years. I learned a lesson that day thats for sure!
