When my son was a teenager he was the only member of the household our little 8lb terrier mutt would bark at when he came home. Many times we would hear him whispering expletives at the dog when he tried to sneak home late

1960 Chevy Corvair. Bought it for 200 bucks. It used almost as much oil as gas.

1964 Mercedes Benz 220 C. It was 11 years old when it was handed down to me. I Loved that car.

59 Ford Fairlane station wagon. I was a college student 300 miles from home. I made regular trips home and always had 5 riders to pay for the gas. One time this good looking but very quiet girl heard there was a car going her way and hooked a ride. 3 years later I married her. We were married 33 years before the C got her.

1971 VW van.

J 10 Jeep pickup 6cyl 3 speed on the floor. It was just a beat up old ranch truck that beat walking.

In 1963 following hs graduation, I purchased a 1960 Hillman Minx convertible, green with a tan top 4 cyl , 4 on the floor.

It was as new when I bought, it wasn’t when my father had it towed away.

I learned to drive on my friend's 1969 Dodge Coronet, but my first car was a 1975 Gran Torino (not red with a white nike swoop, alas). It was actually my mom's car, but I considered it mine. That lasted a year and then I bought my a 1979 Mercury Zephyr from my dad's company. The Zephyr lasted me 10 years and was the most basic, underpowered, poorly made pile of crap that America could produce in the late 1970s. A 3.3 liter inline 6 with a single barrel carb and under 90 hp, and I still figured out a way to get in lots of trouble.

1948 Ford 1/2 ton 85 Hp flat head V-8 4 on the floor, really a 3 speed with a granny 1 st gear, $ 50.00 from Thompson's junk yard, rebuilt the motor in shop class, broke it in half hauling camp and Elk back up river, spent all my hunting season money on a Remington 721 and a 55 Ford 1/2 ton with inline 6 and 4 on the floor, I was the cat's ass, new truck and rifle. the good old day's Rio7
