Know Yee A Man By The Cars He Keeps...


Last Update: 09 FEB 99

My first car was a black 1965 Rambler Classic 550 that my father bought for me to commute to school in. The Rambler was my college car, and I kept it until I graduated and moved to New York. Lots of memories, here...

My first car after I graduated college - bought from my father-in-law - a 1965 Olds 88. It had a front hood you could pitch a tent on, and a monster 425 engine. This was back in the days when men were MEN and cars were CARS.

One of my favorite cars - the Sunbeam Alpine - my early 70's car. It was a ragtop (also had a tonneau cover) and had a little jump seat in the back for Jenny. Of course, we didn't have child seats in those days.

My dad passed away in 1974. Before he died, he 'splurged' on a car he really wanted - a Buick Skylark 2 door, 350 engine. Quite a nice car for its day. He left it to me and I drove it for quite a few years.

To build my rear house deck, I then bought a Chevy LUV pickup truck.

(imagine pictures of Skylark and LUV here.)
Another car-love - the Porsche 914 - my mid 70's car. This thing ran real hot and had unbelievable handling. Unfortunately, it also seemed to get into accidents!

In 1976, I bought a VW Rabbit. Although the Rabbits were good cars, this one was a total lemon. The dealer let me trade up to a '76 Dasher the same year.

The Dasher - a much better vehicle!

When I got more into being a family man, a big Ford Van was just the ticket! This was 1979.

In the interim, I had an Opel GT, and a Subaru 4WD Wagon.

Probably my all time favorite, my red Camaro - 1984-1994. This was the Berlinetta model, with digital dash and lots of cool accessories.

My red 1994 Honda Prelude, Yet another red sports car! The picture was taken before the rear wing was added.

OK OK. Enough of the sports cars and goodbye to youth. Now I drive a man's vehicle - a 1998 red (well, burgundy) Ford F150 Extended Cab Pickup. Love it...
