1995 Mitsubishi Galant. Twelve disk cd changer in the trunk (nbd) chock full of No Limit :weary:

Lol.

I probably purchased at least one of P's gold teeth with all those albums. The featuring list on the front was sometimes longer than the track list on the back.

Just gangsta-wannabe honkeys. Got it

It was the time, man. I came up in the same era.

Rock music turned to **** around 1995 and got really emo (post grunge) or frat-boy-riffic (Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler). Metallica churned out the turds known as Load, Reload and St. Anger. White trash thought Kid Rock was a top shelf act. Limp Bizkit and Korn was a hybrid of bad metal and worse rap for white boys who wanted to like rap but had your mindset of "can't listen to black guy music, might be labeled a wigger."

Hip-hop was flat out better in the late 90s-early 2000s that's why so many of us suburban honks picked it up. It was kicking the **** out of the other genres in terms of being different/edgy. Then, it got mainstream and watered itself down like everything else does.

1975 Nova SS in 1986. The previous owner had spray painted the car with Krylon. It had maybe the worst/weakest v8 that chevy ever made - 262.

I had Van Halen 1984 and Def Leopard Pyromania. Cassette tapes that I had bought at the flea market near Greenville. They were black market copies. At one point, I had a pretty good collection of black market tapes.

1990, 79 Monte Carlo, another Chevy ride with the beastly 262. Had a 350 sitting in the garage that dad said we'd put in it if the engine gave out. I tried everything short of just draining the oil to blow it up. No power at all but the thing was a tank. It would not give out.

2 Kicker 12's in the trunk with a Rockford Fosgate Punch 150 pushing them. I was as musically diverse then as I am now. Could have been listening to anything that had ever been released CD. Lots of Metallica, NWA, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Tint the windows, paint the wheels black, add tinted headlight covers.

1978 baby blue Mustang. Wanted my Dad's 1969 Fastback Fairlane with the 390 in it but he sold it to keep me from killing myself I guess. He was right of course. That's too much car for a 16 year old.

Had a cassette player too! Rocked Hendrix, Zeppelin, Skynard, the Stones and Fleetwood Mac with Jensen quads in the back and extra pair of tweeters mounted right beside your head if you were sitting in back. Made me partially deaf.

Bored out ridgerunner. 318 engine. Dad bought it for me when the previous owner got caught running a load of 'shine in Newport, TN and the judge told him to get rid of it or go to jail.

I had a neighbor that drove one of those things. Looked like a greenhouse on wheels.

Useless talent I'll never have to use again: I STILL can do a bootlegger pack. Plymouths and Chryslers (especially those old New Yorkers and 300's) were damn near perfect for running a load of 'shine in the trunk!

I had these two and an Eagles Long Run that came from a sketchy gas station near Pikeville. I had to change my equalizer settings on each one because they were so weird.

This is pretty much a duplicate of my first "poon trawler".

I took my driving test in one of those. I had several other cassettes from the flea market. Instead of having the album name and songs stamped on them, it just said "See outside cover for sequence". Sound quality was crap, but good enough for $2-3 each.

My buddy Brad traded a $30 bag of weed for a POS Dodge Omni. Those cars were danger danger

My piece of crap rusty (Nebraska winters were rough on cars) 76 Chevy Impala I got in 92 for $600. I had just enlisted in the Air Force and it was about all I could afford at the time. I had just started collecting cd's right before buying that car and added the cassette adapter to disc man upgrade on the dash.

My music taste was all over the place back then.

Vanilla Ice (don't judge me)
Digital Underground
Public Enemy
LL Cool J
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
Kid Rock
Chicago
Duran Duran
Bryan Adams
Peter Cetera
Prince

A lot of hair bands and some heavy metal to go with the 80's stuff I grew up with to finish it off. The funny thing is, I probably prefer most of that stuff 25 years later more than most of what is on the radio now.

Take the Kid Rock out and that's a solid playlist.

I'm a big fan of Chicago and Peter Cetera has a pretty unique voice. I listen to stuff like that usually when I am in a mellow mood or something to fall asleep to. Of course women also like a lot of that type of music as well.

Take the Kid Rock out and that's a solid playlist.

I didn't listen to a whole lot of his stuff back then, but Yo-Da-Lin in the Valley was alright. I prefer when he came back with the rock/rap style later on. Probably should have left him off for that early era (or totally for some of you all). I will put DJ Magic Mike in his place. Played the crap out of this song.

Probably shook some of the rust off my car when I put decent speakers and an amp in the car later on.

I only put a couple hundred in the car besides repair work and it lasted 3 and a half years until my enlistment was up. Wish I had the Impala a buddy I worked with had. Something like this.

A bootlegger pack is loading the trunk of a car that is running a load of moonshine. The last thing in the world you want is a shifting load so you pack the trunk to ensure nothing moves around. Now that bootleggers use plastic jugs instead of Mason jars, there's no need for bootlegger packs.
