Default The ol' automotive millstone

Kids are just like that. I went through a succession of new "go fast"
cars ending with a 69 Corvette. My next car was a new 72 Jeep that I
had 5 years 170k miles and the one after that was a used, free 71
Gremlin that just landed in my front yard. I ended up putting in a
clutch, driving that 2 years, just because it wouldn't break and I
sold it for $500.
I never bought a new car again.


My first car was a 1965 Chevy Impala Wagon. No, it wasn't knew... sheesh. It
was a really surfer machine, ran great and we could put all our crap in it.
My father hated it. Thought is was junk, but it only cost me $800.
