That was a nice GTO that you had!
That 280 sure was nice too! I remember those!! Reminded me of a car not as nice, but it still had that long front so many cars had back then. My high school boyfriend wanted us to buy a Lotus Europa. When you got into it, you were in a reclining position almost. It was so very low to the ground, it kept bottoming out everywhere. We didn't get it, probably was a good thing...
I remember those! They looked cool! My dream car was a Datsun 260-Z. I wanted one in 1974, but they were $5000, so I had to settle for a $3000 Chevy Vega! It was pretty neat though - maroon with white faux leather interior and a stick shift. 2-door hatchback. I guess that's why I love my 2-seater 2016 Honda CR-Z hatchback!
We didn't tell my parents how much we paid for that Z. We were married & living in an apartment above them at the time & we know they'd be shocked at the price. We had to be on a waiting list to get it. That's how popular they were.
That Lotus looks very weird! LOL!
We liked it because it seemed like a fast car. Actually I really liked your car and another car I liked back then were those Porsches with the rounded backs. Prolly couldn't afford it Lol
My favorite car tho, was my Boyfriends BMW. It drove so fast and smooth. I loved driving fast back then. We got stopped in that one night, in the middle of nowhere, taking it up to 100 MPH. Those cars drive so nice...my Dad used to like when I took him out in it and drive him fast...we couldn't tell Mom tho, it was our secret
