Well, the batteries are recharged from the weekend, but I still didn’t feel like snapping any photos. So instead, here’s an oldie but goodie all the way from 2003. The car above was my buddy’s Ed’s. It was his birthday a few days ago and I thought I’d throw it up as the daily photo in tribute to his belated birthday.
This car was Ed’s baby. Seriously. He got it back in high school and was one of the last friends I knew that still was driving the car they drove in high school. It was retired a few years ago after the mechanical repair costs were going to cost more than the car itself. If you ever rode with Ed you were sure to get schooled in rap from the early 90’s, especially Tu Pac, and possbily some country music.
Ed and I took his baby to a 311 - The Roots concert in St. Louis. It was the best car for concert going because it was a convertible and with the top down and going about 65 mph two guys who were tone deaf could sing as loud as possibly and still sound good.
Happy belated birthday Ed.
I still miss my Baby. Sweetest ride for about 10 years of my life even with all the leaks and problems. Thanks for the picture Shoo!
Oh man, that car was awesome. Best car in the SSHS parking lot (besides Crow’s 8-track hooptie).
I’m having parking lot flashbacks. the parking lot was the coolest place ever. I’ll never forget Paul’s Geo metro getting picked up by four large guys and being moved accross the parking lot. When Paul came out he had to look for his car. That thing was light. What did shoo drive?
I had a 1989 red Ford Ranger. I don’t know if I have any pictures of it, but I’ll look around.
I remember the first time I met Ed’s car… In the parking lot of Bellacino’s. I think I leaned on it and got screamed at… Good times…
