MA and I were reminiscing about our first cars last night. So, I dug out a picture of mine:

a 1967 Mustang; never should have sold it......



My 2nd car was a 1973 AMC Javelin. Not many of those around. It was a pretty unique vehicle.

I'm still driving my first car. It's a 1993 Subaru Legacy Sedan. I bought it in 1997 and we have this agreement that he has to last me until at least 2007.

'74 Mustang? That was a "Mustang 2". My mother had one of those. As a matter of fact, the 67 was hers until she got the new one. I got it as a hand-me-down. Hers met an untimely fate. It burned up in our garage in a fire.......

Let's see, after that:

79 Honda Accord
86 Toyota 4Runner
95 Isuzu Rodeo
01 Ford Escape
03 Ford Explorer


Love my SUVs!

My first car, and really my only true car love of my life so far, was a 1970 Tan Volkswagon Bug. Her name was Baby Bug, and she hated Fords.
She always got a little more get-up-and-go when we were at a stoplight next to a Ford. Oh, and she LOVED Harleys.
She liked to show off for them.

I still miss my Baby Bug, and that was over 10 years ago!

The first car that I will have put payments into will be (come tomorrow) a '95 blue Honda Accord.

My most recent car was a '93 black Pontiac Grand Am... Before that I drove a '89 (I think) blue Ford Probe... could be off on the year with that one.

My first car was a 1980-something Ford Mustang II, affectionately known as "The Roach". It had this horrible mustard yellow interior and a lot of engine problems, but I loved that car. I once fit 8 people in it (thank god we weren't pulled over by the police).

My second car was a Plymouth Reliant (or "The Unreliant") with the shift on the column. That car was evil from day one, and eventually blew a head gasket.

Car 3 was a Cookie Monster-blue Geo Metro. That little piece of junk three cylinder car lasted me through most of grad school and had over 100,000 miles on it when it died (even my mechanic was surprised how long it lasted).

Car 4 was a Ford Tempo, white with red interior. Two months after buying it, I got in an accident that caused $3000 in body damage (no one was hurt and the girl who hit me was driving Daddy's company's car-all repairs were on their insurance). The transmission finally failed.

Now, car 5 is a 1998 green two-door Chevy Cavalier. I'm finally making my own car payments and I love this car to death. Her name is Mary Lou. Am I the only person who names their cars?

I have named all my cars...until the last 2. I can't remember the Mustang or the Javelin's anymore. But my Accord was Swoosh (take THAT, NIke). My Rodeo was Lil Sis.
