Me in the gray jacket, old man squatting down fixing the Tang for breakfast probably. No need for 4wd back then, just drive the old jalopy out the desert wash.

I owned a couple of Subaru wagons, and they'd go places that old Parkwood couldn't go.

Wish the RAV4 we had now had a real station wagon back end. Would make it much more useful.


That's a pretty clean machine for having been driven out into the desert.
Great pic!

By the time some low rider bought it out of the driveway, not sure it still ran even, it was starting to show some rust.

Right there in that pic, was probably 10-11 years old. First two back east, the rest in SoCal, so no salt on the roads and we were far enough inland to avoid the salt air too.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
