I seem to remember many more polka dots. And is that pre- or post- wrestling trophy hood ornament? My first "crash" was in that car. Nate rammed it into a huge snow drift in the high school parking lot one day. Good times.

aw yes the legendary car never really remember it but I heard plenty of stories such as being able to see the road if you happened to look down while moving cuz the floor boards were kinda rusted out sounds safe and sounds like Nate knew someone who didnt give a shit about state inspections the old lick it and stick shops!!!!

Notes from the life of the Bullet:

As seen in photo: Exterior Phase II. out of somewhere around 111 Phases.

Phase XXIII sported non-working "Off Roader" header lamps, a medevil sheild, wrestling trophy hood ornemant and what started to be a NASCAR themed stickering, but what turned out to be a mess.

This car drove to Florida twice with six people in it.

My 6' something freind Sean slept through a highway median crossing after Lollapalooza II while hunched in the backseat (which was painfully devoid of cushioning)

This car went through three clutches and two engines in its life time.

Was T-boned by a pickup truck, which then sped away. There were at least 5 of us in the car.

Crossed Hwy 18 at the Morefield intersection. Airborn. Through a redlight. With 5 of us in the car.

I personally went through the windshield. From the outside.

Popped the front left shock through the hood during a playful romp through the woods.

This car had a new stereo before any of us could drive.

Yes, you could (and did) throw up through the passenger seat floor area, directly onto the road. This came in handy.

The lower third of this car had a ratio of 4:1 bondo to steel.

I have no idea how to mix bondo, so it set up within seconds of mixing it, giving the cars lower third a textured look. so we painted it black.

The paint used to dub this car "the silver bullet" was applied with a 2" paint brush, and donated by Morgan's Auto Body after they heard what we were going to do with it.

The Hermitage Chief of Police reported this car as speeding in front of his house to my dad. the Chief lives on a 90 degree bend in Spangler Rd.

I got to third base in this car. Really.

This car passed inspection for at least six years after pictured here.

None of us drank Coors Light. We were Beast men.

I did a James Bond style 180 on a snow covered road with 8 people in this car.

We actually considered laying people down and jumping them on Hogback Road. In this car.

I never once got pulled over driving this car.

The roof of this car sported the legendary image of the King Stahome, originally created by Marc Sorrells, who intended him to be "King Salami" but was misinterperated as he has the handwriting of a retarded infant.

King Stahome was the mascot of the legendary band, Lambs O' Nice Kin.

And this is how we rolled.

That is the coolest car I have ever seen, next to the Star Check Express. After all the Silver Bullet probably was never used to promote the flat tax or tort reform.
