    I’m guess the “S” in your login stands for “Stud”

    I like the first car thread hijack. Mine was a 1974 Mercury Comet, red. It looked the one in this picture I grabbed online. The car wasn’t interesting, but the way I lost it was. It was stolen from the parking lot where I worked at the time by an escaped prisoner, used in a bank robbery, and crashed and totaled in the ensuing police chase. The guy tried to get off an exit ramp at high speed but split the difference between the ramp and the highway. The car flew down to the road below, and when it hit, the axels snapped and all 4 wheels popped outwards 90 degrees. They looked like flotation devices. Maybe the funniest thing about it all was that when the police were calling around to find out who/where the owner was, the message was misinterpreted and I had people telling me that the police were looking for me in connection with a bank robbery. Tough day for a college kid at his summer job….

    I have a friend who parked his car in a Chicago garage and one of the attendants borrowed his car to go do an armed robbery of a liquor store. Then he put the car back in the garage. Next morning the police knocked on my friends door.

    Like in Ferris Bueller when the garage attendants take the car for a joyride? That was in Chicago too.

    This is not my 1978 Pontiac Formula Firebird. This is a picture I found that matches mine pretty well. I had the white seats with black carpet.

    This was my first car. It had 100,000 miles on it, but oh my, the fun I had in that car.

    I had the T-tops, but they leaked so badly that rain used to pour into the back footwell and fill it up. I ended up punching holes in the floor so the water could drain out. I eventually got new stripping and eliminated much of the leaking. I replaced the steering wheel with a racing steering wheel, red carpet, bitchin' seat covers, and of course....the Formula sticker across the windshield that easily gave me 20 more horsepower!

    I kept the car looking good for years, but I had a bunch of issues with it. I ended up selling it to a friend of my father's who was getting it for their son. I saw it in a parking lot about a year after I sold it. It had been destroyed. The interior was torn apart. The outside had dents and dings everywhere. It was rusting and the paint was being abused.

    I nearly wept right on the spot. Man I loved that car...
