My Jr. and Sr. High school folders had Chevelle written all over them. My
Dad who spent his early years hot rodding would not let me buy my coveted
'70 Chevelle in High School. Instead he offered me $500 bucks if I bought
a new car. His point was - new car, a warranty, no oil on his drive and
saved weekends of fixing a used car. I took his $500 and added it to all
my 8 yrs of lawn mower money to buy a new car. Not having a Chevelle in my
younger days, probably saved my life. With an understanding wife I finally
got my Chevelle. And it was just this weekend that my Dad was over and
took my '66 Chevelle SS out for a spin with my kids in the back. They
reported after Grandpa left that he "Roared it in every gear from every
stop light".

Not only that, you can blame your later addiction to those cars on your
parents for not indulging your innermost youthful desires. My parents
didn?t buy me that ?67 SS I wanted out of college, so I?ve blamed my 30+
years of insanity on them...

Wait another 20 years, when you have teenagers of your own, and it?s time
to buy them a car, then you?ll understand your parents decision. My first
car was a 2 wheel drive 1986 Ford Ranger (far cry from the ?69 Chevelle
that resides in my garage now!) Patience young Jedi, you?ll appreciate the
muscle car of your dreams more, if you earn it or build it, rather than
having Mom and Dad buy it for you.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Update: Hole in frame of '90 Caprice
I originally had mentioned that my brothers 1990 Caprice Classsic had a
hole in its frame. Just thought Id let you know wuts going on. My parents
decided to get rid of it. Instead they bought a van. The worst part is that
it is purple. I guess your wonderin how old I am. I am 15 years old and
love classic cars. My favorite is the '70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. My brother
is 17. He also loves classic cars. I really wish we could keep the caprice.
Id love to be able to drive up to school in style. Instead I'll get laughed
at cuz im driving a PURPLE VAN. EEEEWWWWWWW. My parents didnt even look
into how much it would cost to repair the Caprice. Instead they payed $5000
for a '98 Plymoth Voyager. Im sure it would have cost less than $1000 to
repair the frame, strengthen some weak spots, and rust proof it so it wont
rust any more than it already has. Then we would still have $4000 to repair
any other problems in the next few years.
