mjosparky 4 #26 January 19, 2004 QuoteWow, there are a few Belairs in this post. This may be a stupid question but what does "3 on the tree" mean? Not a stupid question if you are under 35 years old. It is a three speed stick shift on the steering column. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #27 January 19, 2004 1963 Impala SS It was white with a RED interior( there is a pattern here for those who know me) Had a 4 speed on the floor. Mom would not let me have the 1966 Barracuda that I wanted. She wanted me in a big full size car and my Uncle Archie kinda pulled a fast one on her. I got it for my 16th bithday and it cost $750 dollars in 1968. It was sooooo pretty. and it was stolen 6 months later.. I took the insurance money and bought a sports car .. a 1959 TR-3A. Now buying a British SportsCar with a Lucas heater in it in Wisconsin in October was NOT a smart move. I ended up parking it for the winter and getting a beater with a heater.

2fat2fly 0 #30 January 19, 2004 Quotewhat does "3 on the tree" mean? Three speed transmission, shifter on the steering column. Like my first, a 1966 longbed chevy pick-up. I got so frustrated triyng to learn how to drive it, I would kill the battery every other day by putting it in first gear and holding the ignition key over so that the starter would pull me up the driveway. I was (am) such a dumbassI am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marz 0 #38 January 19, 2004 I had one of those ratty red tricycles for awhile, but I really consider my first vehicle to be my Big Wheel cuz chick dug that. I then got a tricked out Schwinn banana-seater for Christmas when I was eight and that was awesome, until those "motocross" bikes came out and then I had to beg for my mom to get me one of those. Then many years later, I got a 1993 Honda Civic. Marz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumpervint 0 #39 January 19, 2004 1966 Saab 96. 3 cylinder 2-stroke engine. Had to add oil to the gas when I filled it up. Front wheel drive before it became popular after the oil crisis of the 70s. Sold it to buy a Honda Accord when they were first introduced in 76 - bought one of the first 21 in Seattle.Both of them were great cars. I liked that Saab so much, that's what I drive now, a 91 9000. Vint. . . . . "Make it hard again."
