Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Had a 98 sierra single cab 2wd in high school. Had the big v8 350 vortec and a small light truck, it would shit and get. Turned it into a street rod setup, and 2 tone white and bronze color. Beautiful truck I’ll try to find a picture. sold it when I graduated and bought a brand new Impala SS that was the first year they came out with the new design 2006. My parents didn’t want me to get a true “sports car” cuz they weren’t stupid and knew exactly what I would be doing. The impala ss was the next best thing as the most powerful “4 door sedan” that was in my price range. Hard to believe now I bought that thing brand new in 06 for $26k and it was loaded as it could get at the time. She would get up to 145 fairly quick
Had a 66 Mustang coupe when I was 16, loved that car but borrowed my step dads truck adn wrecked it and so I ended up with a 1986 Chevy cavalier.... Looked identical to this one

My hs ride...man I miss it...
1984 911 Porsche
1993 ford bronco
I still have my 69 z28. I bought my wife years ago a 1968 firebird sprint car. It has the inline 6 overhead cam factory 4 barrel, convertible 4 speed. They only made so many of them. It’s a matching numbers car.
My favorite to this day that I still drive some is my 1982 Jeep scramble. Frame off 100% total restoration. 350 fuel injection 455 horse. It’s is a head turning machine.

Affordable cars. I don't care about style I just want something with wheels that move when I press the accelerator.
For years I've wanted something like a Japanese Kei car. I always thought these were cool:

New cars cost more than the trailer I live in.
Sure there are junkers avaialble at used car lots but I don't work on cars and would just get screwed. I'd pay 4 or 5 grand and then have to buy a new transmission or something a month later because the car is held together by string and paper clips.
A new car should be less than $10k.
I've had several cars/trucks over my 57 years of driving. I had a '66 Mustang in the Navy and a BMW later. Loved both. My favorite was a RAM 1500 I drove for over 346,000 miles. It had a 5-speed manual shift. Would still be driving it except the computer board was failing and Dodge stopped making replacement boards. I sold it to people from Mexico who wanted the stick shift to drive up and down mountains - probably in the drug trade. My mechanic said they would remove the computer board and all its environmental BS and replace it with a standard fuse box and drive it another 350,000 miles.

In high school, I had a red 1986 pontiac firebird with ground effects, the bird emblem, t-tops, spoiler and the V8.
It was badass. I can't find one that looks just like it but I had the bird emblem on the hood....
I waxed it at least every two weeks or so. it looked like glass. Good times!!

My 2 favorite cars are a 68 Pontiac GTO and a 78 Chevy Corvette. I know the ’Vette is still around but I’d love to have either of them.
Honorable mention to the 77 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am- the Smokey and the Bandit edition. Shoutout to the man, the myth, the Legend- Burt Reynolds.
