    Post one pic of your car and the year. Has to be a car you currently own from the same year you were born only.

    Mine, 1987

    Both 1982. Both of us look younger than our years though!

    I do know Marty....as for 2012, I'd rather be back in 1984.


    I think this thread is starting to get off course...are people just posting photos of their own cars without being born anywhere near the year it was made?

    I owned this for awhile. Picked it up at an auction, made some minor changes, sold for a nice profit after having some fun with it. One of the most annoying cars to drive any where. You will begin to loath the term flux capacitor.

    Mine was an '82. I was born in '82.

    1967 Firebird convertible. My dad gave it to my mother the day after I was born and eventually handed down to me. No recent pics because it now sits, sadly, under a cover in her garage awaiting me finding the time/money/space to restore it.
