I feel ya.

Learnt to drive on a '65 Plymouth station wagon but first car was a '74 Duster (225 slant six, 3 speed stick on the floor, no power brakes or steering (hell, it had 4 wheel drum brakes), didn't even have an electric pump to squirt the windshield ... had a foot pump on the firewall (hard to reach because of the Minimus 7 speakers on the kick panels)).

First concert was Motley Crue @ Myrtle Beach, SC (before they were famous).

Favorite band right now would probably be Lady Antebellum.
