Hmmmmmmmmmm.... lets see if I can rember what the kids back at my school drove. To start, I drove the most memoriable car on school grounds, A 1992 Ford Station Wagon. There were two others, but mine was the coolest and fastest. The 3.8 made it fun as hell to pull out into traffic, because of the fact that out school was on a main road in town. There were a crap load of mustang. They went as follows

1) Grey Convertable: the girl who drove got into an accident, which wasn't her falt. There was an accident on a main road that goes through my town and some one who was in a rush ran a red light or something and crashed into her as she turned into the school. Still has it, but I wouldn't buy it off of her.

2) Standard black: the kid is one of the few is still helping his parents pay it off. It's nice, keeps it really clean. Too bad he's out at college in Indiana, I bet he misses it.

3) Silver V6: The kid who drives it is a total pompus jerk. The first day that he had his license, he crashed. A few months into the school year, the backed into a bus, and I think that Jr year he did something else.

Those are all also 40th ann.

4) 2003 Silver V8: The kid who drove it flipped it once, was probably drunk or high. The then puts chrome bullet wheel, an ugly front face and some loud annoying exhaust on it.

5) Blue V8: The kid almost lost his license due to it. I guess the fact that he had Roush Exhaust didn't help much either.

Other cars include:
Acrua TSX
69 or 68 El Camino SS
Random Hondas
and a bunch of other cars I can't think of.

My sister's class on the other hand there's a kid who drive's a 2005 G35 coupe. I think its black on black on black and he doesn't take the rims off during the winter. I really hope he gets his rims stolen, cause I do live in a ghetto of a town.

My dad owned one of those in his High School years. 👍 Black with gold stripes.

Umm.. Lets see.

There are a bout 5 mustang there and each are a different body style. There is one (looks like 64 maybe) blue that sound reeeeeeeeeeeal nice.

There's a TT, meh.

A 2005 Black Dodge Charger with really sweet rims on it. Looks gorgeous.

Mine will be the best though because it's the only 2000 Neon in California with Traction Control and 4 wheel disc brakes. :sly: (It came from Indiana)
 
dude, thats really horrible. "I really hope he gets his rims stolen". thats kinda harsh man, and pretty mean, hoping someone's property gets stolen. no good reason for it either, just because he doesn't take them off in the winter, jerk.

anyway, for good high school memories(I'm still in high school). on 11/13/05, at 8:40 p.m., I broke 100 mph for my first time. 102 mph to be exact, oh yea, I was driving a 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE(minivan). yea, that was REEEEAAAALLLLL fun. I had the biggest grin on my face for about 10 mins as well. thats it for now.









rock. :cool:
 
A teacher has a corvette stingray, my friend has a black with gold rims Subaru impreza 99, and another teacher has a westfalia. Nothing really great but at the end of the year there may be some more car when everybody has their license

Did your dad go to Seaside High in Seaside California?

My friend Kyle had a black and Gold GT-350H.

McClaren's Angel
I graduated from High School more than 20 years ago. All I have left of the old cars is a few pictures, and a lot of memories.:lol:
I'm sure that a most of them are the same.

Slicks
Positive that a 429 SCJ and CJ were produced. There was also a 427 side oiler, and the 428 came as a CJ and SCJ. I had to open that hood often, especially after spankin' my friends in newer, smaller, sportier cars.:lol:
The only difference in those two FE block engines is the size of the combustion chambers. After all, you only have 1 cubic inch to divide over 8 rather large cylinders. The 429 just had bigger heads. (and a whopping 5 HP advantage)
I also looked it up in the Chilton's manual.
 
I stand corrected.

New tidbit:
My auto shop now has a '66 (or somewhere in there, it's too far disassembled to tell) mustang that will be restored over the course of the year. It looks like I get to work on it in second semester.
 
Looking what some of you have makes me cry lol.......
Why?
Because I owned and had to drive around in the worst car ever: THE YUGO 65 Koral.
Once I almost flew off a cliff with it,because of the faulty brakes.
Then it was a Fiat 500 R A.K.A "Figuar".Once got drunk,crashed it,survived without a scracth,left the wreck in the woods,and spent 10 hours trying to find my way home.
And that was during night time.
Then I bought the Suzuki Swift 1.3 GTI. I still have it.


Some of my friends had Fiat Tipo's,Fiat Uno's,one had a old audi 100 ,Other had a old 3-series BMW,then there was this guy wit a Xitroen Xantia 2.9V6,we all drove them illegally(ovehere you to get a driving license you must be min 17 and half years old)


And I definitively can't forget my math teacher's black NSX,almost every kid in my school wanted that car.........

Drift, I was kidding. The kid probably didn't even help pay for the car, his parents probably brought it for him and also the rims. Also, he's sort of a moron so he's bout to crash it sooner or later. Kids and new cars don't reallt mix.
 
My buddy's truck make a horrendous squealing noise that one could hear across the lot, so his mom won't let him drive it until he gets the belt fixed!!

A guy I know really well has a 1984 Dodge ram (one of the special cab options, like a club cab with a really short box) that him and his dad did a frame off on, bored the 360 to 372, filled it with goodies and then painted the thing desert sand metallic with a black F/T stripe around the back for Farrington/Truck (or fishing/towing, and on days it won't start it's F###in/truck)

It's the only 80's dodge that has made me drool.
 
Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

I remember an incident that happened during the school's parking lot right after spring break.

Everyone in their car were speeding a bit to get out of the lot until someone had to break really hard to prevent themselves from hitting a car that had the right away. You can hear the sounds of hard breaking and then some mechanical noises from many cars in the lot. It happens that those with a manual transmission in their car stalled. :lol:
 
We had Speed bumps in the parking lot. And most days after school someone would pour bleach on the speed bumps and there would be many bleach burnouts off the bump.
They were nice and smoky.
 
We were all wannabe ricers back then. I remember a friend had a CRX, and thought it was the most awesome race car ever, and I wanted to get a veilside kit, stage 4 turbo, and NOS, for my Miata (which I "inherited" from my dad)!

Glad that's long in the past. I was only in high school through Sophmore year, though, so few of us actually had licenses yet. We were all just wannabes back then.
 
I have many race memories and videos of vehicles doing burnouts until tires popped. I was always working on cars in Autoshop class and one of the coolest memories was in that class. I was very advanced and my autoshop teacher allowed me to work on my own cars in there since I was soo far ahead.
I had a 67 Chevy truck and I was replacing the stock intake with an aluminum intake and 4 barrel carb. Yes all right in class!! Then I added headers and some other goodies. I also swapped the rear end and many other parts. He said "You have to show me what this truck will do. Why dont you light up the tires right her in the shop" I did not take him seriously at all. THen everyone came around and starting saying "Burn em burn em!!!" So I blasted the pedal to the floor and left 2 dark black posi marks from one end of the shop all the way outside. He let me do that twice my senior year. I had the fastest vehicle my junior and senior year. Those were the best years of high school!!:D
There were many many other events that happened.
 
A couple of months ago, we witnessed out first NFS-influenced Idiot try to drift.:rolleyes: An AWD Eagle Talon. He didn't have any angle on it at all, and totally biffed it right off the road and into a small stream. It took about an hour to get the car out (by rollback, no less). We witnessed this while waiting for our busses to cart us home, but his little fau pax blocked both lanes of traffic and most of us didn't make it home until 5 pm. The roads looked like an effin' christmas tree. :lol:
 
There aren't too many cool cars at my school. I just finished high school this year, so here goes.

Eagle Talon '96 (I think), one of the few good cars in our parking lot
Mazda RX-8, some lucky bastard had a new deep blue RX-8, it was damn nice

And well that's about it. All of the other cars I remember were junk.

Though, once, this kid's dad came to school to pick him in a blue w/ stripes Dodge Viper GTS. :drool: . He was revvin that V10 for a bit as like a group of kids piled around the car to drool over it. Man, that was an awesome car.

We also had a spring car show once. A bunch of kids showed up with their riced Civic and Integra's, they were mostly painted and external modified, nothing special, but it they were better cars (esp. the Integra's), than what everyone else had.

There was one kid's dad or brother or something like that, who showed up with a '69 Corvette Stingray, or was it a '71 or something like. It was that L67 I believe, the really curved front one. He was revvin the V8, it was a big one, so like yea, that was cool.


I also a Ferrari 550 Maranello once when I was leaving school as it was passing by my school, but I doubt anyone at my school had a Ferrari, it was most likely just some1 passing through. Damn nice car though, really nice
 
I have some fond memories of auto shop in High School.
I once helped a buddy change a head gasket on an old Jeep Wagoneer.
Little did I know that it had an overhead cam, and the head weighed about as much as a new Miata.

I remember tearing down a 283 Chevy motor and putting it back together as a class.

I'll never forget the day I pulled my valve covers to clean the sludge out of them, and replace the gaskets. Suffice it to say an FE-block Ford runs pretty poorly when only one bank of plugs is connected.:lol:
 
:lol: Right now, we're reassembling GM 3400 V6's in shop class... Meh, pretty funny with the bunch of blokes in our set...

Gil...dig your shoppin list up there. Some hot iron back in your day... 👍
 
hmm i remember two kids leaving hte middle of class to go get mcdonalds almost everyday...lol and going home to swim and coming back during the summer. The best however is when this 16 y/o kid w/o a license decided to back a gmc jimmy out of one of the bays, he backed it into a vw bug hahahaha whata moron
 
Memorable Cars in School Parking Lot Here:

BMW 325i
an older Jaguar
a newer Mitsubishi Eclipse
and of course my 1999 Mercury Sable ;)

The rest are either average or beat up cars, ricemobiles (2 of them), or pickup trucks.

Memorable Cars in Lots Up North (may forget several of them) :

new Mazda RX8
new Porsche Boxster

It's all I remember, the rest of the cars were the same as down here, but more ricemobiles and less pickup trucks.
 
Damn, there's some sweet cars in here! :drool:
Hopefully, by the time i'm old enough to drive i'll already be hooked on my motorbike, although mum has half agreed that I can inherit her 98' Impreza wagon. :)

I went to high school in sunny CA back in the late seventies/early 80's.
And some of the guys built their cars outta wrecks.

My Junior High days take me back to a good friend whose mom drove a very cool, very roomy 1963-64 Country Squire wagon. She took us to the Bus stop every day after school.

One of the girls at my Jr High was squired to school every day by her dad, in his pink 1957 T-bird.

My dad drove me to school in a 1966 Mustang. (There is nothing cooler than having a dad that's into cars).

My very best friend's mom drove a 1971 Mustang fastback, with a 351-C.

By the eighties these cars were gathering dust cause they burned too much gas.
But for a 6-mile drive to school, they were great for us kids.
 
Indeed...it's great to feel that sense of pride. "Yeah, that destroyer out there is mine." :sly:

A new car has just recently begun showing... How about a 1974 Chrysler Newport? It looks pretty odd to see the Newport parked next to a 1967 Delta 88. Then 4 Cavaliers. :lol:
 
Black&white ;)
There aren't many ricers here in Germany, but neither are cool cars at my school.....Oh wait.....there's a Estoril-blue E46 330i convertible, the guy's in my class, really rich, a decently tuned Golf 1 Cabrio. A teacher drives an old 911 (i think 930 series but with the weaker engine....some 150 hp), another one has a W140 Mercedes Benz xxx SEL, a bit old but very very nice to look at.....other than that....
There are 2 kids whoose' daddies own BMW ///M5s, one E60 and one E39 (drool)

Luckily we are spared of posers, ricers and such disgraceful things that fill the streets.Insuring a car is extremely expensive for teens, they pay HUGE amounts of money to get their (insert typical teen cars.....Golf GTI, BMW 323, Corrado&co.) insured.Other than that, gas prices in Germany are rising (lucky Americans.....) and the avarage 18yo can't even afford to drive his gas-guzzling sports car too much. There are mostly decently tuned cars, nothing more :) - Just as it should be !

PS: No muscle cars in sight :(
