Me and my pooch Malibu just got back from a little cruise in The Black Car after 3 weeks of it being ignored(the car not my dog).After I pulled it into the garage and wiped him down,I stood back and just starting smiling,I never had a car that made me smile like the Chevelle.

Anyone else want to admit to this? I know,another stupid thread by me.:D

I admit my Chevelle make me smile too, actually all Chevelle's make me smile:yes:

Gary,
My '72 Chevelle makes me smile all the time. I go out and rev the engine. Makes me smile even more. :yes::)

No, I cry every time I see more rust under the vinyl top. :(

COOL! :thumbsup:

My car probably makes me curse more than anything else, but everytime I tart it, I smile even if its just a little grin. I think the reactions I get from the car are more of a smile maker than anything else. Nothing like a good thumbs up from another driver to make you feel good about your car.

Not lately.

My Chevelle stares at me everyday with that "I dare you to drive me" look.
And I oblige it as many times a week as I can.:yes:

Mostly it makes me cuss!:yes:

I gotta admit, I share that feeling... I love the reactions, the waves, the comments... but most of all I just like to hit the back roads late in the evening and drive with the windows down, listening to the car.

Ya it does.

When i jump in mine i feel like a kid again

My 69 does....mostly because I never have a problem with it. The 70 pisses me off on a regular basis as does my Oldsmobile. I will say though, when I drove the Cutlass everyday...I had a huge smile on my face when I would open up the secondaries on the Q-jet :D :D

Mine does, when I mash the gas pedal!:D

Yes, it did....when I had one. I know exactly the feeling you describe, and I thought I was the only one!

my car makes me feel likea rockstar, there aren't too many left around here that people actually drive.

Oh yea, and I wanna do it again and again and again

.... good question. Actually today I was doing crap in the yard.. garage ...etc.. in and out.. etc... and walked by the car 1/2 dozen times as if it was not there... then I stopped and stared at it..... and yes I actaully did smile. It made me feel good just sitting there. Not even driving it. knowing it...starts...runs...not in body shop purgatory etc...
Yes my car makes me smile!!

:yes:

Drove to a cruise in yesterday. Smiled all the way there, while there, and on the way back.
Went out and wiped it down today.
I sat down in the garage and stared at it.
I thanked the Lord for blessing me. Went in the house and told the wife.
She feels the same way.

My car makes me smile, but it also makes me cuss quite a bit.

Moto- "when you turn on your car.....does it return the favor?"

There are alot of imports around here. And I am all about learning something new so I usually stop to b.s. I get asked why I like the old muscle when there is so much new. I just tell them to have their g/f sit on his hood, then mine, and she will let him know. HAHAHa Usually good for some laughs.

X 10. If i'm in a bad mood. Just take the Chevelle out for a few mins. Sort of wipes the frown right off your face. Anyone that has a Harley. Knows what I'm talking about! Same feelin. :) :)

What if the Chevelle is what's making you in a bad mood?

Fix it and then smile. :D
I know what you mean though. I'm in the middle of a dash swap now and just want to DRIVE IT!

Relates to a woman. Fighting is inevitable but.....the making up is sure nice.
If the car/woman makes you miserable all the time then you need to compromise or get a different car/woman.

Aint that the truth! Wife and I rode the Harley in a poker run for domestic volence yesterday morning and got home at 3.
Got in the Chevelle and drove 30 miles to a cruise in.
Wonderful day!!!

You just give it to me!!! Then you can be in a good mood and 'll be smilin'! :D

Not a chance. It's a love/hate relationship. I can curse it to death at times, but I always make it up to her. Maybe a can or two of the good stuff, or some nice launches running it through the gears. :D

Hell Yeah!! I was showing the Old Dog just today and smiling the whole day.. The BEST OF SHOW win .. I admit.. made me smile a wee be wider :D

Like this :D:D:D:D

Yep... I was smiling yesterday at nice show on a beautiful day with my 66, took home a trophy for Chevy Muscle stock class..... then on the way home hit a freak downpour,:mad: probably the only place in the state that rained:sad:...... although I will say, the two guys in the Cobras on the Parkway behind me were a little worse off than I was.;)

I need a plastic surgeon, to get the smile off my face!!

My Chevelle does put a smile on my face when I see it. It's even better when I fire up the big block and hear it come to life. Solid lifters, 4 speed, 4.10 posi, red car = :D

Used to but I almost forgot what it was like, been off the road for almost 10 yrs.

USed to dig starting it up, the smell of the old interior and the loping of the cam at fast idle with the choke on early in the morning.

Hopefully that itch comes alive again when I drive it this winter.
If it doesnt Ill be bummed but I think Ill love it.

I smile all the time, especially when I remember some of the things my father and I did to that car before he passed away.

I think I smile the biggest when my sons (4 and 10) and I are getting ready to go somewhere and they ask if we can take the Chevelle. I say "OF COURSE!!!," and they both in unison say "Yessssssss!!" with the obligatory gesture. :D:D

Hey Jake,do you have a bigger smile with those new heads?:)

I will. :D;)

yea it does make me smile!:) See pic in sig below:)
but when the big block 396 comes to life, and the chambered exhaust let you know it's alive under the hood, my smile gets real big then:D:D:D:hurray:

Liz says i grin like an idiot every time i see or drive the car, she says you would need a sledgehammer to break the grin off my face, so you could say I SMILE A LOT IN THE CAR.....:D, get thumbs up all the time:hurray:, love just going for a drive whenever i get the chance:hurray::hurray:

Over @ Loctite in Rocky Hill?

No..I was down in Orange

Always, unless it's pissing me off. :rolleyes: :D

most definately, since I was 16 years old. smile got even bigger when I dropped that new 496/600hp motor and 700r4 trans in it this summer....

Yes, yes it does.

Hit the skinny pedal and light em up, Yes it makes me smile.

Not lately, I've having a hard time installing the new exhaust kit. Not easy doing it alone. I'll be smiling once I hear it, though.


Ok, just the thought of hearing my hard work made me :D.
