STEVE SAYS: "I LOVE MY CAR BECAUSE ... I purchased it in 2008, Oliver's sophomore year in high school, as a father/son project. We worked on it for two years and it was ready for his senior year. It has a 350-horsepower V-8 with two-speed automatic transmission, bucket seats and console shifter. We are both very attached to this car as it brings back fond memories of turning wrenches and adjusting screws."

I really enjoyed the article, it brought back memories, my first car in 1969, was a 1968 buick skylark, white, with a black landau roof, I put slotted disc wheels on it and air shocks.. I saved up one thousand dollars as a down payment and paid 1,950 dollars for it, my dad drove me crazy dickering over the price with the car dealer, I never thought we would get it, but it all worked out, loved my first car!
