Uncle John,
You've had some great sports cars along the way! I had to do some Porsche research just to see what you had owned. BTW, a friend of mine has been know to say; "if you remember the 70's, you weren't there".

John

 

Mornin' John, Yeah, the 356s are the ones that got away. I bought the 60 Roadster in 1970, I was 22 and stationed at Randolph. paid 2k for it, did some interior work, replaced the top, drove it for two years and sold it for what I paid for it . . . Thought I was pretty clever. Right this minute, if it's still intact, it's worth more than the 3 cars we have now.

Have a great week.

• 1985 Isuzu Impulse (dark blue, automatic, aircraft-esque gauges, LED lights and controls for driver and great center stack, 4 banger with rear wheel drive, retardedly loud stereo system, very cool at the time I had it, but helped me receive 4 speeding tickets, 1 reckless, in a year--can you say no license for two months?)--Ages 18-20, rear ended an old beater, totalled
• 1988 Nissan Sentra SE Coupe (Red, 5 speed, nothing special, got me through school years, loud stereo system, helped me get my negative driving points back to normal)--Ages 20-25, gave to girlfriend who drove it until there was no oil left, broken rod

My list of cars from my first car to my latest


1969 Ford Brougham. In 1980 my uncle gave me his off white Brougham, AKA The Love Boat. A solid tank of a car with a big @$$ engine. All I had to do was patch some rusted areas. It was mine until 1983 when it died. Lots of fun times had in the back seat, which was almost as big as my bed!

:impatient 1982 (?) Chevy Citation. My parents bought it used. It was a POS that I drove until 1985, when it too died. Thank God.

1985 Honda Civic CRX. My first new car and the first car I bought with my own money. I owned this vehicle until 1989 when I sold it because the company I worked for gave me a company car, some Ford POS sedan, but it was totally free to me.

:smile: 1993 Honda Civic 4-door. Was hit in accidents too many times.

:smile: 1997 Honda Civic 4-door. Was also hit in accidents too many times. Traded in after real bad experience with Honda body shop and service.

:smile: 1997 Saturn SL1. Was paid for after a year of ownership thanks to winning accident lawsuit. Saturn was totalled on the DC Capital Beltway in May of 2004. I was rear-ended. Law suit still pending.

2004 Honda Civic Hybrid. Great car for my 100 mile a day round trip commute from Ellicott City, MD to Reston, VA. I wanted a MINI, but there was a long waiting list and I needed a car right away. So I went for the hybrid. Talk about a plain vanilla, home boy, Mr. white guy urban and boring vehicle. Sure the mileage was great, but no MOJO!

July 20, 2005 - '05 CR/W MC YEAH BABY!

MTFBWY,
