Did you drive a a body to school?
My first was a 75 Dart Swinger 2 door with the /6, white vinyl top with the dark green metallic paint. I drove it to school every day. It took a beating that satan himself could be proud of. I specifically remember doing a 55mph revers drop in it. I left a black mark 100 yards long. I could not hurt that thing no matter what I did. On another occasion i did some ludicrous speed in 2nd gear. I want to say 80 or 90, it was so long ago i don't remember exactly.
15 years later I'm starting to build a 70 Dart like I always dreamed of. I doubt i'll beat on it as hard. :)
