My Satellite is a decent highway cruiser and has done well on road trips. 383 auto, 3.23 SG. I kept it close to stock when I restored it in the early 90's. It's no barnstormer, but still fun to drive.
Got it back on the road as a semi-complete car in '92 and drove it over 2500 miles round trip...

I didn't really have a high school car, but do still have the 1st car I bought. Got it after college in 1987. Everything I drove before that was owned by my parents.
