[QUOTE="stephgirl, post: 8678997, member: 660189"] Moved from Thunderdome section. So for me it was 2 things 1. So my first car was my parents hand me down 87 Olds Cutlass Supreme 2 door with 1/2 top and side lights. 3.6 6cly no power but can cruse great. Senior in high school. Young and dumb and broke. Had a part time job at a local gas station collecting the cash and also ended up doing some oil changes and tire repairs and so on. You remember back in the day of Full Service gas stations. I had already installed a Pioneer HU and oh couple amps and speakers and subs. So in are auto shop class in HS we had already tinkered around on few students car's and sound systems. I had purchased this Pyramid 7 band spectrum analyzer EQ. You remember the one that had the 7 band spectrum analyzer lights they moved up and down to the signal. We installed it in my car and at the time it sounded and looked so good that the other students also wanted it. That was the day. WOW a 7 band EQ spectrum analyzer with moving lights and all. 2. So this same car this Cutlass Olds i had, about a year later i was woken up one Sunday morning by my mom saying there are two Policeman at the front door from are local police dept looking for you.
