If you could go back, or pick and era to grow up in...would you you?

Have read most all the post.

Would I want to grow up in a different time?

Well, as many have said there were good and bad. Born in 58, so got to watch the end of the muscle car craze, buy my 1st cuda at 15, year later trade it for a 69 roadrunner, graduate high school with a 2 year degree in auto mechanics, 5 days after turning 18 get a job at Chrysler making $4.89 and hour. Bringing home $200 a week and wondering WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THAT MONEY? Well buy more cars, 70 340 Challenger, 54 Chevy Belair, 72 barracuda, 70 grand coupe barracuda, 69 Charger SE, 69 SS Chevelle 375 hp/396, 74 Camaro, 71 Mach 1 and that was in just 6 months

Beginning 77 ordered my 1 st new car, bought a 67 Formula S 273 4 speed, so when my 77 Aspen LOADED WITH ALMOST EVERY OPTION had couple of cool cars. Got engaged so lost my new car to HER ..... LOL sold her nova ( bet her dad was mad since he worked for GM) my payment ( ill never forget $173.40) for 36 months, how was I ever going to be able to pay that?

Yeah would like to have been able to bought a new 70 HEMI cuda, or you name it, but if I had been a few years older I might have been one of the 50k that never made it home. The draft had ended by the time I turned 18. Also having the money to by a car like that, yeah in today's dollars they are cheap, in 1970 dollars a new Cuda even without the $850 HEMI option was out of reach for most young adults. Before getting my job at Chrysler I was pumping gas for maybe $1.65 an hour, the manager was pissed because I got the job at Chrysler and he was making less money as a manager and had wife and 2 kids at home, so 2.00 and hour in 1970 you might bring home $60 week

So in reflection life has been good. I made some stupid mistakes, wish I had bought more cars but been able to keep them. 1979 bought 1971 383 auto curious yellow 'Cuda convertible for $ drum roll please .......................... $850, dent in right front fender min. Rust bad power valve in carb.

OK want to go back to 1986 and keep my cuda

Life today is good for the most part

Got a good wife, nice house, 67 340 4 speed dart convertible, 99 Plymouth Prowler and 81 Imperial plus my daily drivers and truck

Watch Mr. Destiny, Its a Wonderful Life or Back to the future and see if it really works out, in each things are not what they thought it might be.
