73 Datsun  B210.  Went to Fla. & back stalling every time you took your foot off the gas.

Taught my buddy how to drive a stick in this.  He hung it up on a curb at midnight in Orlando.  Hilarious times. 

Great strip clubs in Orlando in the later 70s.  Gorgeous girls.

Was working at GM while driving this. Had labor negotiations going on at the time and the picketers egged me as I drove by.

"Hey you guys!  I'm one of you!"

71 Buick LeSabre.  Got it up to 120mph and the next day the rear end blew out. 

One of my roommates backed into the driver's side door so I had to enter/exit via passenger side.

Used to cover the engine with a blanket in the winter and get up at 3AM to run it for a few minutes so it would start in the morning.

76 Olds Cutlass Supreme.  Really nice car.  Got totaled by some teenager driving a brand new Z-28.

87 Dodge Omni.  Had no money so bought this.  Good functional car but no style.  Had a VW engine in it.

93 Ford Taurus wagon.  Married now with kids. Drove it for 13 years until the tranny went and then junked it.

96 Ford Explorer Sport.  This car bought new and got wrecked  in rollover after one month $14,000 damage but they rebuilt it.  This thing always felt top-heavy so it's not a surprise it rolled over.  Insurance company promptly canceled my policy.

2002 Taurus wagon .  Family years.  Had about 10 years and no accidents.  A miracle!  Thing ate brakes.  Was in great shape and sold for $4,400.
