Getting stranded does not count, when it is self inflicted. Hey there sweety I think the car broke down on this quiet back road

I took my car to prom.

I took a black '69 Mach 1 Mustang.

Did burnouts nearly all the night in the underground parking lot! My date was pissed! TINY tires those things came with stock. The car was bone stock, and recently resto'd.

The owner of the car was pretty cool about it, at least he didn't complain about the rubber coating his wheel wells...

I bought my car the day before prom, but it had a busted tranny so I couldn't drive it there, I was more excited about my car then I was the prom.

I drove a Lexus SC400 to prom, probably the Nicest CAR there, but the guy two vehicles in front of me drove a Semi there, adn the guy directly infront of me was a bue Iroc

I didn't have a senior prom. had a junior one didn't go to that
the senior thing was more informal.
just seniors, no dates, still formal, but not tuxes.
we took my dad's mini van, cramed that thing full of people. And coolers of beer for the guys and wine coolers for the girls.
had a blast, then after we went into NYC and partied till dawn in a club "limelight"
BTW IBFTL
biker
also if you want to chat about BS go to www.camaroz28.com
something like this would be on the 4th page buy now.

Took mine to both junior and senior proms. I would have rather spent the $200+ worth of tuxes on mods and went naked, but yeah it served its purpose well !

Oh yeah IBTL
