Ok so as a kid a youngster let's say early teens when you started digging cars bikes hot rods what ever you wanna call it. What was the word or let's say phrase either or that you thought was awesome. To me it was when I heard FOUR BARREL CARB.... don't ask me why .. Maybe it was just an early 90s thing around my area in so cal. So what was your word???????
Over Head Twin Cam For some reason if i heard that a engine had that i got all sorts of super interested. lol
Oh yeah POSI was a big word too followed by the gear ratio..... I can see it now let me see if I can find a picture of the spot we use to hang out at in high school and after we graduated online.

Here is were we use to kick it at in the neighborhood Joe's market it use to have these big ol Pepsi and 7 up painting in the front one on each side of the door. Great times every Friday and Saturday nights this was the spot to score beer as a youngster allegedly.... Cars parked all around the lot.
Dual quads!, nitrous, 4 speed and Burnout. My dad got his Riviera when I was 12 and he put Dual Quads on it with a 100 shot of nitrous, dual quads are still on it. Anything with a 4 speed gets my attention to this day and I still do burnouts every chance I get. Here is a picture of the Riv pulling the wheels about 4" off the ground. Ken
Here's our spot: Tom's Exxon in Conrad. We always had one or two of us gearheads working there in high school. Used to head down after school or on weekends, the guys who smoked would smoke their cigarettes, and the rest of us would have beers hidden in the broom closet. Tom had that yellow F100 parked on the side since it was new, always had the aluminum slots on it and still does, still looks as good as the day he got it and he drives it every day. The farthest to the right stall had a red and white '76 Ford wrecker that I'm going to try to get from him if he still has it, and it was parked over the pit. He and I ended up being on the Fire Department there together after I turned 21, Tom must've been 50 or 55 by then, one of my favorite people in the world. There used to be a 50's diner next door that was called Betty's Diner, and Betty was one of my Grandma's good friends. I remember going there and getting penny candy. Good times.
Oh yeah and Joes market had Ms Pac-Man galaga and then street fighter. The best dam beef jerky with slush puppies drink dam good times Had a beeper and the phone booth was outside
