I like the fact that someone has been doing burnouts inside the garage. Although, it looks like the vehicle in question was headed AWAY from the door???

Power brake baby!! I did one in my first car a month after getting my license it was over 200 ft long, and then I looked to the right and a cop was sitting right there, got a negligent driving ticket. I was 18 and in a 71 Firebird, I mean come on I had to right?Oh by the way that was the first and last ticket I ever got. That was 25 years ago.........good times. Didn't mean to hijack the thread, but since I did I might as well put up the only picture I have of that first car. I carried this picture in my wallet for almost 15 years, then I took it out. I recently found it and scanned it in order to be able to post it. Its grainy and looks old..(because it is) but its all I got.[8D]

Well you're close, they were Appliance wheels, the paint was Firebird Orange,but other than that you got it. I had a police scanner, a CB if you look real close you can see the magnetic antenna on the trunk lid. That car was so cool, my Aunt sold it to me for...get this $600.00 I realized years later she actually basically gave it to me. When I got it it was only 11 years old. I wish I still had it. A few months ago I found the original check I wrote her for $250.00 She even let me make payments. We lost her to Cancer about 8 years ago......Stinking Cancer[:@]
