Type Of Car You Drive?

"Cars you should have never sold"

My first Jeep Wrangler. I bought it new, and I still beat it to hell. Tough SOB. I pussied the second one.

My first car was a '76 Red Volare Station Wagon. My second one was a '78 Pontiac Grand Lemans Station Wagon. The second one had wood paneling. Think Clark Griswold. It was sweet growing up poor. Hell, I was excited just to have a car. I didn't have one in high school. I was excited until I found out that half my paycheck would go to liability insurance on the focker.

I bought a Buick station wagon once, old fleet car for some local drilling company. Sucker was a war-wagon...had a 350 in it with a posi rear end. Just beat it to hell. Went like mad in the snow.

I learned to drive in a '73 Olds Cutlass Supreme:

I had an '84 Pontiac Fiero when I got home from the Army, though.

That thing ran GREAT in the snow. [/sarcasm]

I'm still riding in my 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V.



(That's me and the Mrs. in the Pic, BTW)

02 Corolla
00 T&C Minivan (gotta have room for the kiddies)

I really want to get the Prius though. Figured out that I would have to fill up 3x/yr with that car.

My ex in college ha done of those. Just terrible in the ice and snow. I did an inadvertent 360 while making a left turn..right around Camp Randall. People were crossing the street. I was FREAKED OUT.

People say that your life flashes before them...well, all I could see was the headlines about fiero taking out like 10 college students.

Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, alright. We got 411 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper Edelbrock intakes, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fuckin' muscle.

Yep.....once that vehicle started sliding in the snow, about all you could hope for was to hit some pavement, or you just waited 'til the car hit the curb or a snowbank to slow down the momentum. Of course, that car was so low-slung that in the winter it was often below the level of the snow, so sometimes at intersections, I just gave her hell and hoped I made it.

Go to your local library and check out Ralph Nader's Unsafe At Any Speed.

It is an excellent book about the many defects in GM's Corvair.

I had the opportunity to drive a Corvair in '72 when a roommate loaded me his car. I could not believe how poorly it handled driving 55-60 mph on the freeway! I literally had to clutch the steering wheel with both hands to keep in in the lane.

At the time, the car was only 2-3 years old.

My mom had one. Somehow my brother put it in a ditch...
