My fav car was a Volkswagen Bug my husband (then my boyfriend) gave me, I think it was a 1970 model. Quirky and fun...if I forgot to turn off the radio, it would play even when I removed the key, then the battery would be dead the next morning.It's.a.crazy.worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097206219065815316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-14375097397622373842021-04-27T20:24:20.191-04:002021-04-27T20:24:20.191-04:00The 70's, the crappy age of American cars!The 70's, the crappy age of American cars!joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-85466494229732032802021-04-27T20:17:22.837-04:002021-04-27T20:17:22.837-04:00My first car I bought was a brand new 1975 Chevrol...My first car I bought was a brand new 1975 Chevrolet Vega - Spirit of America.

I tend to keep cars forever and when I do trade them in, I demand they go to a good home. My favorite was a 74 VW that I got when I turned 60. Had wanted one most of my life. It was a cutie and fun. My current one is a 2003 Toyota Tacoma I bought new and it now has 179,000 miles. Never been in the shop.

Too lazy to count the number of cars we've had over the years but I have decided if hubby dies before me I'm selling both cars and leasing something. <br /><br />Son had a 1993 Cadillac Deville. Got it when he was a senior in high school (2007). He loved that car. It finally became too expensive to fix in 2017 so he parked it hoping to have money to fix it sometime down the road. It was still in our name for registration. One day about 6 weeks ago he told hubby he was ready to get rid of the Cadi. Before he changed his mind, I contacted Kars for Kids and got it towed away the next day. What a great ride it was though! What a money pit too.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-74920346786650128092021-04-26T23:51:53.577-04:002021-04-26T23:51:53.577-04:00Cars in my life=0

Then my 1986-1/2 VW Quantum station wagon that took me to Mexico and back. When driving it at over 100 MPH on a very long and straight Mexican highway, I'd always look at my wife and say "German engineering!" My next favorite, my 2013 Nissan Altima - 8+ years we've had it and finally topped 40K miles on the odometer. It may last longer than me.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-22737243246761135152021-04-26T20:01:28.144-04:002021-04-26T20:01:28.144-04:00I’m only on my 6th car, Chevy, Mazda, Toyota and n...I’m only on my 6th car, Chevy, Mazda, Toyota and now my 3rd Honda in a row.Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-17229389428744060582021-04-26T17:40:40.466-04:002021-04-26T17:40:40.466-04:00I can remember some of the cars I've had over ...I can remember some of the cars I've had over my lifetime, but not all of them. <br /><br />Have a fabulous day and week, Joe. ☺Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-53639382162397641232021-04-26T17:06:41.186-04:002021-04-26T17:06:41.186-04:00Car histories are always an interesting read, at l...Car histories are always an interesting read, at least to me.
