I have never bought a new vehicle in my life. I don't think it's going to happen.
1963 Chevrolet C20 pickup truck. I saved up and bought this in 1974. My graduation present in 1976 was four new tires. On graduation night, I dropped off my girlfriend at her house, and was intending to go home, change, stock up some things and we were going to go up to Point-of-the-Mountain where all of us were going to get shitfaced and stay overnight. As I was pulling out of her complex, I was broadsided by a cement truck driving 60 mph at night with no lights, guy was following his wife home. Truck was toast. Tore off the truck from the windshield forward. Truck driver was hospitalized for six months. I walked away with minor injuries.
1977 Chevrolet Vega GT. I was DJing at a disco, and driving home late at night, came over a hill to find a coal truck in the left lane and a coal truck in the right lane. I went off the road and drove through a telephone pole. Toasted the car. I walked away with minor injuries.
1963 Mercury Comet. I loved this car. Brown Batmobile. Left it with the signed pink slip in the barrio in Hawthorne, CA, when I left the state to go to school. Had blown freeze plugs, or I'd have driven it. Always visualized it as a lowrider with lifters bouncing along the streets. I hope it was happy.
1980 Chevvy Luv Truck. Drove this little bad boy all over Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California. Blew the main bearings in Palo Alto California, and couldn't afford to fix it.
1978 Honda Prelude.
1974 240Z. My Darlin' and me owned this car together. She drove it at Sears Point for several years. Awesome car, especially when we upgraded the fuel cell, suspension, interior cage, took out the side-draft Hitachi carbs and replaced them with Webers.
1978 280Z. Again, a shared car, and a great driver. I drove this all over California, Nevada and Oregon. I had jobs all over the place.
1992 Mazda Bongo Van. Total workhorse.
1982 Dihatsu Rocky. Fun. Rough. Worried about putting my foot through the floorboard.
2017 Hyundai Porter Truck. Mostly indestructible. Like me.
