What would you drive to your High School Reunion?
 
Well I think he got his priorities straight with his choice of car, but he needs to work on his "lack of motivation/rejection of conformity" issue.

You have heard me say this before on this forum. There are 3 kinds of people in this world.

1. Those that make things happen.

2. Those that watch things happen.

3. Those that wonder what happened.

Don't be in category #3.

So what car will you drive to your High School reunion and why?


This was a reply I saw on the web:

I went to a nerd school with only 50 people, and most of them are going to have successful engineering careers with highly respectable
companies and lead happy, meaningful lives. So to make up for my lack of motivation/rejection of conformity, I'll have to show up in my favorite
car, a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T with a 40 Six-Pak and a Hurst pistol-grip shifter. Which also helps because not a single one of my classmates can
be described as a "car enthusiast", so I'll stick out next to the Corollas and Malibus that will inevitably pollute the parking lot.

I'd have to agree with Mr. Reject. There can be only one car that's suitable for any occasion: The 1970 Dodge Challenger. I even took mine to three or four funerals. Hopefully, somebody trustworthy takes my 2008-or-09 model out to the cemetery when I finally join the Choir Silent. In the Old West, they used to take the deceased's horse out to Boot Hill so the nag could pay its respects, too. :D

In an earlier post I noted my wife has been instructed to do just what you noted.

That almost sounds like me. I was the dorky kid in high school that loved musclecars and wasn't very popular. Although I'm an engineer now, and most of the other people didn't turn very successful, as in, not amounting to much in a career.

My 10 year reunion is coming up next year. I will be driving my 70 Challenger R/T 440 6pack to it.

You guys are awsome! They will hear you when you come in and they will hear you when you leave.:D I went to my 20 year reunion in my 88 Conquest TSI. Some of my classmates said " nice Porche". I'm a Chrysler kind of guy, so it wasn't a compliment. Man did those guys look old. Come to think of it so did I:eek: I will be driving the Challenger to my 30th.

jdb840...The big difference is you are now an engineer and did he not have motivation.

But they both have cool cars. :D

I would drive nothing as I don't go to those. I was happy to get out and never had a desire to go back, as a lot of people said that I would miss it and wish to come back. Nope. not me. This was me on my last day = [sm=gears.gif]

I wasn't refering to that part of the about the statement


But they both have cool cars.
Thanks!!

I told everyone when I was in school, that I would be driving a Viper to the reunion. At that time it was my dream car, now it's the new Challenger. I doubt the new Challenger will be out by the time of mine next year, maybe in another 10 years.

Why not take your 2008 or 2009 Challenger SRT?

Probably afraid you'll tear up the parking lot with the Mirada.

Oh...in 2004, I went up to Des Moines for the retirement of my main professor in college. Since I flew, I rented a car up there. It turned out to be a silver 2004 Mustang with really cool Nevada plates. Naturally, I went to Target and bought a Kid Rock CD so I could be blasting "Cowboy" out of it when I pulled up at the festivities. That all went over really well. Everyone I knew in college decided I hadn't changed a bit. Professional juvenile. :D

My 5 year class reunion is coming up in May. It will depend on whether I want to afford a newer car or save the money for a Challenger. Either way, I think I will enjoy showing up, as I will most likely be setting up the class reunion. Most of my old classmates have become losers so they will not be able to show me up with anything. Most of them dropped out of college for one reason or another; meanwhile, I'll be finished in December with my degree. I liked my H.S. and the people in the other classes, but my class and I never got along. Heck, if I show up in my Intrepid it will still be fun for the sake that they spend all day trashing my car and telling me how mopars were all junk and they wouldn't last 100K. I'm now at 150K and counting...

I guess, for a joke, I could show up in the 87 Chevy tuck that I had in school if my partents still have it. :D.
