All these pictures were not taken by me, found elsewhere.

1st Car, after 6 months burnt more oil then gas:(
Easily recognized 57 Chevy.


2nd Car, brought me from Boston to Fort Dix NJ every weekend as I completed my 3rd year in the Army. I always smiled going over the George Washington Bridge in NY.
Great car, 65 Buick Skylark.

3rd Car, really had to pay attention to the speedometer, a definite power house.
Total Comfort. Mine was a light blue 65 Buick Riviera.


Well gang, give us a treat and let us see your first 3 autos.

You had some nice stuff also.

Car wash, "Would you like the undercarriage done" You bet your sweet bippy.

LOL! I'm your lost twin! :D Mine was a plain Jane 4-door, green and white. Burnt oil at about the same rate. Hadn't seen a real mechanic in years. 2-speed auto trans stuck in high gear. I think I paid $70 for it!

Car #2: Got $250 trade-in toward a '65 Beetle, red.

Car #3: Got a 1965 Mustang GT fastback. What a car! Looked just like this one except it had a red & white pony interior.

Going to have to do some digging through old negatives for pictures.

1973 Mustang (sometimes called Grande or Coupe) with long front end and wide bumper but old straight up and down back window. (not slanted like Mach I)

1981 Buick Regal with red velvet interior (yay baby!)

3rd one was a 4 door AMC Eagle Wagon w/4 wheel drive. Can't remember the year for sure, but coulda been 1988.
 
1) 1991 Chevrolet S-10 - 1996 - 1998 - Wrecked :(
2) 1992 Chevrolet Scottsdale 1998 - 2000 - Sold
3) 1994 Chevrolet Silverado - 2000 - 2009 - Gave to FIL
4) 2005 Chevrolet Silverado - 2009 - Current

Yup, only 4 vehicles in 17 yrs. - all Chevy trucks. ;)
 
I don't know how I fit into this one.
I'm 6'4", but it was my first car, so I made myself fit.



When my MG was stolen, I bought this Wildcat convertible.



Then, when I saved up enough for a down payment, I bought this 1970 Plymouth GTX brand new. 4 speed pistol grip shifter with 375 horsies underhood.
