I took Mr. O down memory lane first. Mine will follow. :)
my first car --- '54 Oldsmobile, Delta 88 ( I drove my mother's car) my favourite car --- '71 Monte Carlo, black on black, bucket seats!! my first or worst accident --- 54'Olds, Slid into a guard rail on an entry ramp, '60 - no one hurt other than my butt and my pride. fatalities - None a long road trip --- '68 Dodge Charger, west from Ohio to the CA coast, toured the mountain states and then returned home. Roughly 5000 miles. a family association --- ? GM cars are prodominent. cops/tickets --- I've had roughly 15 in the course of 45 years, mostly for speeding violations drive in movies --- '54 Olds, back row, back seat...need he say more? drive up restaurants, --- The Parkmore, '54 Olds, girls on roller skates were HOT! drive through --- none memorable price of gas ($.25 a gallon anyone?)--- .18 cents a gallon, in OK driving a '68 Dodge Charger, in 1969 price of cars --- $3200 in '68. It was bought brand new. buying a car --- Haggling over $50.00 for the '68 Charger breakdowns --- '98, the '71 Vette broke down in route to dinner. No dinner car towed. changing a tire (being late for your wedding because you had a flat tire?) --- Interstate 75 into Cincy on Memorial Day Weekend, traffic was insane, the winds from the traffic nearly blew the car off the jack. A '73 Capri bad weather --- Returning from Chicago in sleet and snow on State Routes. I had to urinate on the headlights so that I could see to drive. (You many not want to use that. LOL!!) '71 Monte Carlo romance --- They are all memorable, pick a year, make and model. LOL!! restoration project --- '71 Corvette, it's still very memorable...and a work in something... Mr. O says progress, I tend to disagree.
