Rich kid cars.

We didn't have any rich kids where I grew up. We were all "OK" on the good side, to a bit less than that for some families. The coolest car in high school was a kid in my class that had an Olds 442. It was either green with gold accents or the other way around. It was a beauty, one I've not forgotten in all these years.

I grew up in a small farm town, no rich kids in sight. One kid I knew drove a Porsche but it was the ugly long hood short tail car. He was a nice kid and only drove it because he was given the car. I do remember that when the new rock station had a contest to win every single record they had as the prize, he won. He had 1000’s of albums and we would go to his house and listen to albums. His dad was a turtle biologist, and he lived in a house in the U of M sanctuary. Some of us drove “works in progress”, most drove farm trucks. We rode our dirt bikes to school down the old railroad bed after they took the tracks. Horses were also a big source of transportation for us as well. It was a good life!
