now I've realized that the best girlfriend/date I'll ever have (at this point in life) will be my trusty Thunderbird, and I plan on taking advantage of it.

you know what..you CAN actually take your Thunderbird on a date.. the Drive-In.. perfect place for a man/car relationship.

Screw prom. For some people (read: those needing attention) it's a chance to show off. You don't need that conformist . Know what I did on my senior prom night? Stayed home and watched Miami Vice. Friday nights at 10 on NBC...that was the place to be. And yes, it was an original airing LOL. Little did I know that just a few days later I'd get my first car. But I look back now and think, man...those were cool days. I never regretted not going to the prom--it just wasn't my thing at all. I don't need to spend a few hundred (borrowed) dollars and be with someone I really don't want to be with, to go to a dance where I won't dance, to be with people that I really couldn't care less about, all for a big beauty contest that's a only few hours long. Fun? Meh. It's all relative. But prom, that's not fun to me. I think I'd rather change a heater core and oil pan first.

However...if all proms were like the prom in American Pie then I'd say go for it. ;)

Hey kingcars look at it this way.  At least the girl ditched you BEFORE you spent all that money taking her to dinner, etc. 

I went to my senior prom and it was okay but not really that great.  Later on I went when I was 19 with my girlfriend at the time to her senior prom.  That one was really fun.  I guess it really depends on who you go with.  It's definitely something I'm glad I did though.  The memories are worth it. ;)

:giggle: :iagree:  So we both did the same thing on prom night:giggle:

On a sad note I'm going to prom this year. My friends sister needed a last minute date so I said I'd go. So instead of spending time with my girlfriend I get to go to prom. Great:yuck:

When I was in high school, I didn't have a girlfriend at the time of prom, so rather than wasting it with some dumb girl I decided to take one of my best friends since kindergarten. Well she got the mumps a few days before the dance, so I asked my other friend.  She said ok but her mom said no way. (crazy overprotective family) The day before prom I spent the night at my buddies house cause we were going to give our cars full details in the morning (my vette (didn't have the bird then)) So its the day of the dance and I have no date.  So I call up this girl that I took to winter formal.  I reluctantly asked her if she wanted to go, and she said yes. So I ended up going to prom with a dumb girl anyway. :hick:

I didnt go to my prom, and i didnt go to my girlfriends (at the time) prom. I was too busy on my bike.

My current girlfriend, who is a junior in highschool, im going to her seinor prom, and apparantly there may be a 007 theme. I need to drive the red bird to prom so i can do the james bond smoke screen.
It's Gumby's fault.

I barely made it to graduation, much less the prom.  I feel old, my 10 year is next year.

I thought High School girls were bad enough when I was in High School.  They seem even worse now.....  High School men today seem betteroff with older women.  They don't call 'em Cougars for nothin you know.....;)

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Over the progression of my school dances you could see my smile on my face turn more to a frown each year.  The freshman dance was so cool, the girl was so hot!  And really fun ;)  Junior prom, girl was nice, I was in love.... she turned into a crazy bitch shortly after.  Then I didn't go to my senior prom, but I did go to the one after it the next year as a favor.  The girl was ugly, the girl was dumb, and she had no self esteem.  But I went anyway, and it was stupid, the theme was stupid, the school was stupid I hated every minute of it.  I even didn't bang her after wards ( crazy and ugly) even though she was beggin for it....
 
All in all, if I could have relived my freshman dance again for each prom....man that would have been good.
