First car was a '62 Ford 500 XL equipped with a 406, 13.5:1 compression, 3x2s, and a 4 speed. I earned the money working for a printing company after class in high school. I never got beat the whole time I owned it.

First car stories? Mine: 195(mumble) Rambler with 3 speed column shift & Overdrive. Died a horrible death because my sister (who sold it to me) told me I'd "never need Overdrive". Found out on a 32 mile freeway trip that, Yes, I do need Overdrive.

Which parts made dents in the hood when the engine exploded? :D:

I think this might be an appropriate time for Zazu's backwards car with stuck transmission in the middle of the night story.
