This one, and that is me in the back.

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

1968 Coronet 500. Black with red interior. Factory 383 4 spd. Traded a Yamaha 1975 YZ 400 for it in 1976. Unfortunately it is long gone.
You know you are vintage when someone says, "Back in the day", and you can dispute their facts.

My first car was a 1973 Mercury Capri 2L 4 spd around 1980

I was flying Gliders in Jr. High, moving on to powered flight in High School while all my friends were playing little league so at the time I had little interest in cars.  My parents almost forced me to get my driver's license....(They might have latter regretted that move! LOL)  they kept telling me to buy a little 4 or 6 cyl. Car....but after seeing the Barris "Thunder Charger" in Thunder Alley....I just had to have a '66 Charger.  So I found the magical $500.00 car and took it home with dreams of making my own "Thunder Charger".  Fortunately,  I stopped after adding mags, wide tires (air shocks), T/A Challenger hood scoop, flares, new paint, and Zebra looking fur on the head liner (Yes, I did...and it didn't look that bad with the Dodge black and white interior).  Not long after completing it, I Traded it on a 1969 Charger RT/SE mildly customized by Barris with a half vinyl top and custom paint....in bright orange...long before the Duke Boys came along with the General Lee.  Since then, I have owned five '66 Chargers, one each '68 Charger RT, '69 RT Charger, '70 Charger RT, two '70 Challenger RT/SEs, a Hemi Superbird, '65 Coronet.  And to many others to list.....yes, I guess I can be considered a Mopar guy from the beginning....

1976 Ford Escort Mk 2. Was my grandfather's first (from new), then my father's then I got it when I passed my test when I was 18 in 1985! Venetian red, 4 speed manual box, four door, black cloth interior. I learned how to rear wheel steer in that car (it was a rear wheel drive saloon (sedan!)  when most of my friends had front wheel drive hatchbacks!)...but I could only do it in the wet as the mighty 1.3 four pot only kicked out 55 horses...not enough to get it to slide in the dry! I still remember it's registration (license plate) number...LTP 281R. Happy days!

Uhhh...No offense, but that really sucks!

1974 Plymouth Duster 360 though it had a 318 (not sure why).  Bought it as Texas car (lived in central NY near Syracuse and cars rusted that were native to Central NY). Bought it when I was 16 before I had a driver's license.  Kept it for seven years.

Picture of similar car - I don't have one of the actual car.

Living in a rural town we used to race on the roads for run.  Fortunately the car only went about 115-118 which keep us/me from crashing.  We had a bunch of dirt roads so we were "drifting" before it was called drifting. Used to call it fishtailing.

1974 Dodge Charger hardtop. Here's an old Polaroid pic of it.

Crappy pic however, it was scanned from the original Polaroid. Pic taken in 1979.

Was lucky enough to be given my first car by my parents, a 1981 Chevy Chevette 4 speed.. what turd but I didn't care..

1969 Charger 318 column shift F8 black interior and vinyl top. I bought it when I was 15 in 1979 for a whopping $150 in paper route money. It took a timing chain to get it running. Five years later it had new paint, a total of $500 invested and a guy offered me $1000 for it. I thought I'd won the lottery and let it go. I was onto bigger things by then: Orange 69 Roadrunner built 440 + 4 speed so the 318 car was nothing special...

1969 Dodge D100 Sweptline. Started as a 318 about a year in swapped to a salvage yard 383 4 brl. Put headers duels and glass packs on it. I thought I was the man. Never mind it was kind of beat up and primer gray. It was quick for a old farm truck looking thing. Spray can primer and brushed white wheels I was cool. Wonder why I never did good with the popular girls?
