My first car was nicknamed the Orange Streak. Bright orange 1970 Ford Torino. Loved that car!

My mother had a light blue one.

Followed that up with a 1967 Fire engine red camaro. I sure had cool cars when I was a kid!

Do you think they'd mind if I mounted a couple of lazy-boys where my seats are? Seems like the right moment to do a personal upgrade...it would save them the trouble of re-mounting the bench where I sit...whadya think?

I had a camaro in the 70's. Metallic blue with white interior.

Having lived in this area for many years I don't think the university, construction company, fans and even crane gurus can complain about the winter we just had!!

Beats the 82 cream colored Buick Regal I had. I did not love that car.

I hadn't been able to jump into this thread for about a week, just got caught up.. BillSU is quickly turning into one of my favorite people on the board. Those were some fantastic stories!

Insane to think this is the same day photo as that ugly grey photo from the morning. This climate always somehow shocks me

Pics of you in it or it isn’t true

69 Camaro Blue/Gray. Black interior. It was a desert car.

Personally I’m glad it snowed into the Dome while the roof was off. It would somehow feel like a missed opportunity if that didn’t happen.

Wouldn’t it be cool if the dome could be lit up like this. To bad there is just not enough money

You want the Dome lit up in purple?

 

[Cusefan78]

Purple bulbs must be cheaper. Maybe the big ten can poach Syracuse so they can afford the blue ones

Platinum.

Madsoph44 - my avatar is me. And among other cars my second was a metallic Highland Green Mustang fastback GT 4 speed with the big engine which was a 390 - 325hp then. The car was the same as McQueen's Bullitt car. Didn't have the same wheels or the engine modified for the movie like his was. The car sure did sound wonderful though.

Incidentally, the actor who played him, Jonathan Goldschmidt, lives in my town.

First car was a '57 Chevy Bel Air coupe, red with the fuel injected engine - first year they offered it. Then a '63 dark blue Fuelie Corvette, then the '68 Mustang. I wish I had put them away somewhere and had them now for sale at one of Mecum's Auctions.

 

[shandeezy7]

couldnt they come in 481 to 274 and up colvin st to comstock

My bet would be on 481 to Brighton to Ainsley to Jamesville Ave to Comstock. Ainsley is already designed for truck traffic, with the warehouses there. Seems like the easiest way to maneuver such a large load.
