I'm stuck driving my grandmothers 328i with the twin turbo 4-cyl. A friend stopped by and offered to let me borrow his immaculate 944 Turbo but my mom was with me and said I wasn't allowed :/ What did you drive to prom?

Side story: my date is German. I really wanted to take our old 1945 army surplus International pick up truck. Something something WWII joke something.

She loved it. Told me a story that when she was younger, her brother would sit her on his lap and she would shift and he would work the clutch. I was smitten.

I wasn't allowed to drive my TA either... What do you mean it needs fenders and mufflers?

Took the Infiniti, so nothing too special. The girlfriend wouldn't let me take the Vette... Something about messing up her hair.

I didn't go either.

It was like $300 so I went out to some colleges and partied my ass off instead.

Tickets, tux, parking, after-prom, that shit adds up.

I always went in a limo... You shoulda taken the Porsche or the International. That woulda been sweet. Also Germans are attractive so well done

I didn't go... Was working full time and I didn't see the point... especially since the women I was dating at the time were about 25 and that was too old for a date to the prom.

A Prius, which was my car in high school. And I would have gone with my date, too, if she hadn't gone to rehab for cocaine use.

I should have gone to KROQ Weenie Roast (y Fiesta!) instead. Damnit.

This. '89 100 Quattro in dark blue, 5-speed, blue mouse-fur interior. In 1994 (junior) and 1995 (senior) it was still a new-ish and relatively swanky ride ;) My girlfriend at the time made her own dress and went a little nuts with the lowness of the cuts (front and back) no underwear was possible without showing... made the after-prom parking really, shall we say, easy. Glad she didn't revise the design to be more modest for senior. It was a totally different dress, different fabric, etc but she knew how to display the goods. It was great, since she always dressed tomboy and/or frumpy in school and when we showed up for junior all the jock's jaws practically hit the floor.

also, the BMW is nothing to complain about.

"stuck" driving a new BMW? No such thing as an immaculate 924/944/968 if you actually want to make it there.

How about a 10-yo minivan?

1985 Trans Am. It was the best part of prom.

My date and I went off for a road trip instead. We saw a concert. Much better choice.

I drove my parents' 1982 Caprice. Bench seats FTW. Wore the tux that my dad wore in 1961. It fit perfectly (at the time). My prom was cheap. They held it in the gym. We stayed for about thirty minutes, went home and changed, then swapped the Caprice for our Rabbit and headed to the beach for the night. My date was my longtime girlfriend who had moved away after her mom died. She agreed to go with me, but called me a few days before the prom to tell me there was somebody else. We ended up spending the night talking about things we should have talked about two years earlier. After breakfast I dropped her off at home and never saw her again.

early 1990s VW Carbrio that belong to my aunt. It was red. We had a convertible in Seattle. Luckily, it was sunny and warm. Must have worked as we've been together since prom in 1992.

Enjoy the night, be smart and safe.

So you drove a BMW to the Prom but wanted a Porsche instead? Seems like the joke is on you then since zee Germans won in zee end!

Ja, ich bin ein Deutscher. Liebe greetings! :-)

1980 Buick Regal. Plenty of room for 'post-prom' activities. (In theory.)

Oktoberfest excuses all of this. Please tell me this happened at Oktoberfest. Though knowing my fair share of Germans (and being 1/4 German) I feel that this happens all year long... #YOLO.

His clothing suggests it happened at or around a football game. He is obviously a fan of Schalke 04 from Gelsenkirchen deep in the Ruhr.

I took the NA. She was confused by the door handles.

Ironically,

Black on black. 30,000 miles with the phone dials, but no turbo. Not the one pictured, btw.

We didn't get as many people as we wanted for a limo, so four of us crammed into a Town Car.

Good ol' mister 2. There was no way I was gonna go in a limo.

This(Technically it's an Opel therefore German), it was a silent drive....No radio and very little conversation.... :(

I WOULD DRIVE THE HELL OUTA THAT 944 TURBO TO A PROM!

NOW! If I knew how to drive stick last year or had my Dad let me(Never would), I could imagine myself(And in your case since she was German) driving THIS!

my friend/date's cousin drove us there in his (my friend/date)'s (non-hb, auto, silver) 03 ford focus

that was a great car, so much great high school nonsense happened in it
