i always had fbodys (3rd and 4th gens) and used to drive like a maniac all the time everywhere... scared a bunch of ppl, especially with my first 90 z28 5sp i bought when i turned 17... my dad would always be like "why do u drive like that?" "cause i like it"-me... so i grew up got a wife and a son and i toned it down a little bit when others are riding with me... a few years ago my dad calls me up says "im buying a new SS you want one of these cars i dont have room for them all in the garage" i say "the firebird?" he says "come get it"(the firebird was probably the least expensive of all of them but the most desireable to me, he bought it brand new when i was 10 years old i pretty much grew up in it)... i take the train to his house 200 miles away, drive the firebird home, call him up
"dad this thing is SO slow haha"
he says "it was fast enough for me, just drive it"
i said "i WAS driving it, i drove the **** out of it, its horrible LOL"
he says "i know how YOU drive... well at least its a hard top incase you flip it"
"LOL yeah im getting rid of that 305 ASAP im gonna make that thing fun to drive"
"ok ill race you with the SS when your finished LOL"
"thanks dad"
"your welcome"...
