My history with cars (and trucks)

[curmugeon]

I got my drivers licence in 1964. My first car was a 57 Chevy. I drove to high school. Gas was 30 cents a gallon. We hung out at the A&W drive in and had car hops serve us. In 1965 I bought my first Volkswagen. It was a 1957 small window. I built a big engine for it. It was fast. I later traded it for a 1959 coupe and transplanted the motor to it. When I got out if the air force I resurrected the 1959. Later in college I got a 1968 bug. I drove that for years till I got my first Datsun pickup. That was followed by a Toyota SR5 king cab. Then I got a Nissan Hardbody. That was followed by a Saturn sedan, then a Saturn coupe with all the options. I traded that for a Saturn Vue and also got a 1993 Isuzu Rodeo LS 4x4. I sold the Isuzu and bought a Toyota Dolphin motorhome. I bought another Nissan and sold the Vue and the motorhome. I still am driving that Nissan truck. I've also bought and sold a Nissan Versa. A lot of cars. A lot of miles. A lot of memories.
