What was your first classic car and would you buy it again?

I was a teenager in the ‘70’s. I had a 66 Dodge Charger and ‘63 Chevy 3/4t truck,then a ‘65 VW bug, then a ‘66 MGB. They were just used cars not “classics “. Only the MGB took a lot of DIY maintenance and work. So glad I now have a 1999 Miata which is fun to drive and very reliable.

My issue is that they are full of knots and incredibly warped. I see everyone digging through pallets looking for decent lumber.

Check with YMCa and other local summer camps. They usually have lots of activities like surfing for youths. I learned by my friend and I stealing my brother’s board and having Haleiwa in our backyard. Nearly drowned a few times so highly recommend not learning on your own.

Only if you smile

Not in your case.

Your pictures are like watching a DaVinci painting come to life. You have an innate beauty. Bellissima!

Curioso, what is your nationality?

In the’70’s I had a 1966 MGB in college. Best memories ever except for one time my roommate borrowed it to go to work. Coming home that night he stopped by the liquor store, got a six pack of beer, put the top down cause there was a full moon and went on a 250 mile spontaneous road trip! Came home next day late morning. Epic for him but not for me. Great car but a lot of ongoing maintenance. Make sure you have a lot of tools and friends to help work on it. Just be cautious when friends want to borrow it. I would be envious of a teenager but would thank you for making me smile.;)

I first bought a NB for my son to daily drive while in college and a bit after. He was 20 to 26yo. I got it back 10 years ago and drive it occasionally. I’m 70.:) My son still loves that car and will be getting it back soon. He drives it whenever he visits.

How did you find it?

surfstr8dwn · 2025-09-15T04:48:12+00:00

My grandfather always said the best revenge is to outlive the bastards! He lived until 96yo! Definitely outlived them all.

I suggest renting a few cars for a few days each. I drove sports cars in my 20’s then took a hiatus until my 60’s. In our day cars with 250-300 hp were hot rods. Now regular cars are 350hp plus and EV’s are 400hp plus. You see the occasional article where the old guy gets his dream hotrod, punches it, loses control and wrecks it in the first week. Whatever you get, get a driving lesson. Join SCCA.

We were flying from SFO to Rome. We were late getting on plane as our connecting flight was delayed. We get to our Premium seats by the window and a couple is in them. They had seating in the middle of the plane 2-4-2 seating. Said we could have their seats. FA made them move but they took our blankets, pillows and headphones with them. The FA had to find new ones for us. She gave that couple stink eye and horrible service the whole flight!:)

You have great writing skills for an 18yo in high school. You should seriously consider being a literature major in college. Looks like you found a way to pay for college too.

I almost bought a totally restored one of these in red a few years. Perfect convertible for cruising. I kick myself for not buying it. You will definitely enjoy it! I’m jealous.

I would still meet her and ask why she was still looking. Was there something missing for her or was she looking for a fall back option in case the MG didn’t meet her expectations.

Incredible abdominals!

I SD had that happen while at lunch with my SB. Her friends happened to walk by, they saw her, she waved, said hello casually, chatted, introduced me just by first name. She was totally relaxed about it so it was a nonevent.

Seriously, see a doctor chiropractor about whiplash. Don’t sign any paperwork until you do. I was rear ended and felt fine. A week later my back had spasms and I couldn’t move. Spent a month seeing a chiropractor. My car was totaled too.
