Cool Old Movie & Story

[policemustang]

For some reason I can relate....watched the movie CHRISTINE last night on the movie channel. Haven't seen it in a long time.

I remember seeing an old junker car as a 14/15 yr old and thinking how good it would be after I fixed her up. I can relate to Arnie Cunningham (character in the movie). That first car you get as a teen. One of the best feelings in the world! Having that enthusiasm for something in such condition!

The first car I ever eyed as my first ride was a 1977 Trans-Am. It was sitting in the car port of a house around the corner from where I lived in 1984. It had a thick coat of dust on it. It was black with multiple dents & scratches, two flat tires and a cracked windshield. The house was vacant. The owners lived out of state. I left notes on the car asking a price. No one ever called me and one day about 9 months later it was just "gone".
But I knew in my heart I could make a difference with that old car and have the coolest car in school by the time I got my license.

The next year I began eyeballing brand new Mustang GT's!

Christine was the first Stephen King book I read. I really enjoyed the movie when it came out.

Roman, sorry to hear that TA slipped away from ya, but it's those early memories that carry us through this addiction associated with being a car guy.

I just saw that movie for the first time a couple months ago. Don't know why I never watched it sooner.

One of my favorite parts is when that Camaro gets destroyed. Another good movie like that is The Car. Doug

It WAS a nice Camaro, though. I enjoyed all the old music in the movie, too!
