I rode the bus. At least it wasn't the short one.

My parents dropped me off.

If I was bad that week they dropped me off in front of the school.

Make sure you two kids don't have a collective brain fart and decide to drag race on the street.

I had to work and pay for my first car. A 1971 Torino GT 351C 4V Auto. It cost me $975.00 and had 60000 miles on it. I made up for the lack of speed (even though a 14.08@97 was pretty good for the day) buy being on the cutting edge as far as customizing goes. I had separate tweeters, mids and woofers run through a home speaker crossover. Dark tinted windows. Lowering springs (cut 1 coil out of the front). Leather wrapped Momo steering wheel. Shift kit and driving lights. This was circa 1979!

I live in spring are and the car meets end up in my parking lot at work... It's full of ricers and 1 mustang... It's real annoying when I try to leave work and end up getting block in basically to where it's hard to leave

I had a VW Rabbit diesel with a manual trans in HS. Very likely the slowest car in the whole school (unless someone had the same car with an automatic) as it had all of about 60 hp. A couple of months after I graduated HS, the week I turned 18, I went out and bought my first Mustang, a used bright orange 1981 4.2L V8 Mustang Cobra with t-tops. It looked faster than it was (at least until I swapped in a hotter 5.0L engine), but I remember one day a kid from my old HS who had a 5.0 Mustang stopped on the road in front of my house revving his engine, and he did a burnout to try and goad me into racing him. I didn't take the bait.

You have a sweet car, don't lose track of that. I'm a senior (graduate in 8 days) I drove a grabber orange v6 mustang (2008) first mustang at the school, but it's not just high school. Look around on these forums, or go take a drive, anyone that knows anything about mustangs just grins when they realize you have a 6 cylinder and it's pretty annoying. Don't get me wrong, with my mods, kids were jealous but there was always the kids in their preludes and WRXs that would talk all this trash, we're lucky to have a mustang in the first place.

I just got my new 5.0 two weeks ago, first v8 mustang at the school. Now I'm spoiled. But hey, I walk around with a huge grin every time I see someone that gave me crap.

Hey, I rocked out my 89 Tempo!

I took the bus throughout my years of high school, all while the richer kids were already driving Z's, BMW's, Mercedes', and Range Rovers. Those were all bought brand new by their parents, not some hand-me-down's from daddy.

We have the same car, the only difference is I have the PP. I'm turning 23 in a week, after finally able to purchase a new car last year as opposed to the crapmobiles that I had been accustomed to driving. My point is, be glad that you have now what you have, and I'm sure you are, because I sure would have loved to have my car (or your car) back in high school.

A little off topic - High school, to me, is such a paradox. It's necessary, but so pointless at the same time. Nothing you learn there will translate to real life, especially when all these clowns that go to school are raised in a bubble or something. I bump into old friends sometimes, and they are pathetic. Sure, they're still driving better cars than even what I have now, but they are still stuck in that juvenile mentality, sagging their pants and being obnoxious, holding some crap job only so that their parents will continue giving them allowance. Their only hope is that their parents don't ever go broke, because even by their mid-twenties, they still haven't done a single day of hard work, or understand what it is to actually work for something they want.

The retards you see around you? 90% of them will stay that way for the rest of their lives.

Sounds like you are getting caught up in the drama.

OH! The huMANity!

Of course, one of my buddies was relegated to the family Ford wagon in high school.
But back when I was in HS, that meant a 429 big block that could actually get the front wheels off the ground on a high RPM launch.
Yeah OK, I didn't have a fancy car.
I usually drove mommy's little tiny Plymouth Valiant.
With a 318 V8 in it.

If you haven't heard it. I HIGHLY recommend you finding Jeff Daniel's 'Blue Valient' from the Rose theater album. It'd be worth $.99 to ya I bet. The whole album is good BTW.

Ha.....1945 Ford pickup......bought from my Dad, drove it the last two years of HS.....back in 68-69.....ne drama there....I carried the beer.

I can honestly say I WOULDN'T take an SS over a V6 Mustang... even my '10 V6. After however many years the new Camaro has been out I still can't get over the look of it. The front looks something close to okay, but the whole car just looks out of proportion to me. After all the hatin' about the new Mustang rear end, it looks miles better than the Camaro IMO.

It's true the Camaro gets more attention... and I think that's why so many 'look at me' types like it. I generally don't think very highly of 'look at me' types. And I can't help but remember the first time I saw one was when I accidentally watched part of the Transformer movie... so whenever one comes by I automatically think 'cartoon car'. And yeah, I know it wasn't a cartoon... but I just thought it was incredibly stupid. I also thought KITT was stupid, but I got over that.

I went to a few back when 2920 meet behind race track started up, but that was about it. Just had no need or want knowing what was to come of it. Specially when it moved to conns parking lot.

All though there is some good video on youtube of cars jumping curbs at 2920 while acting a tool.
