Subject: Re: What's you cars name?
OK, you asked. Prepare for reminiscing.
Other than my first car, none have had a name. But my first car I bought
for $250 in about 1981 or so and my friends called it the "Blues Mobile".
It was a flat battleship grey 4 door 1970 Chevy Bel Air with a black vinyl
top, 350 and a lot of rust. Ugly and mean looking but it fit a bunch of us
and got us around and it got me up and down to college in Burlington, VT
for four years (not always without incident).
*"*It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of
cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses."
*"*Hit it."
Yes, I know it wasn't a 74 Dodge Monaco, but what the hell did we know.
Anyway, one fun memory is me driving myself and 5 friends to play ice
hockey. The trunk was huge and packed full of equipment and sticks. On
the parkway my 3 friends in the back seat started bitching about smoke. I
said "Calm down, it's just blow-by dripping on the exhaust manifold." Then
in the rear-view mirror I could see it was full of smoke and they were
hanging their heads out the window. We pulled over onto the shoulder and
popped the trunk, and half the hockey equipment and sticks were on fire.
The trunk was rusted through and the 70's shag carpet covering the holes
had slipped down onto the exhaust pipe and caught fire. I had to buy the
beers that night.
The Blues Mobile's death (or at least divorce from me) was fun. On New
Year's Eve, maybe about 1987 or so, I decided to go up to Hunter Mountain
by myself for a day of skiing; about 175 miles or so from my house on Long
Island. My Dad said I was nuts. Got there fine, had a great day skiing,
then broke down just outside of Hunter. I didn't know as much about cars
then as now, which still isn't much. Being about 7:00 on New Year's Eve
with no cell phone and cold, it was hard to figure out a way to get it
fixed. I got to a diner and asked a couple of locals if they wanted a 70
Chevy for nothing. They said "What's wrong with it?" and I said "It
doesn't work." I signed it over, took the plates and my skiis and boots
and started thumbing it. Managed to make it to Brewster, NY, about 60 mile
away, just ahead of midnight, where my old college roommate luckily was
having a New Year's party. Had fun that night. Then I convinced a couple
of friends from Long Island to go up to Vermont to go skiing where we could
stay free and they picked me up on the way. Got back home about a week
later wearing the same clothes and my Dad said "Told ya."
I miss those days.
