Is that yours? It sure is clean on the inside!!

Since we are doing rides....this one is like mine although it looks black. Mine is a deep forest green.

Had one of these once upon a time, too. Same color. But mine was so low to the ground, I had a helluva time getting it in the driveway of the safeway store (which was the turning around point for cruising in our town).

I wish.

Naw, I just noticed a few foreign jobbies a couple pages back ...and thought a bit of American engineering deserved some equal time.

And...I bought this one right off the showroom floor back in 1972. I don't remember what happened to it. Musta too many "brownies" eaten one day cuz I sure can't think of what I did with it.

Maybe I picked up [MENTION=17136]bayoubill[/MENTION] and he took it to Woodstock for the Santana performance?

Then you go and bust out a real American classic on me.

And then I had one like this. I wound up giving it to a friend who wanted it when I got my sidekick. So..since a friend gave me the sidekick, I thought I would pay it forward to another friend who loved my fiat.

By "real American classic", I meant the the T-Bird, not the VW camper.

The nicest ride I've personally owned was also German though: an Audi A6 that I bought from my boss's son, and then proceeded to total it on the way to work one morning (kind of ironic).

That was a couple of years ago. I don't drive anymore.

The current family transport is a minivan. It's very nice, but still ...a minivan.

I know.
For a girl, I was in to muscle cars. Had a gto..which I fondly called Goat. That was one bad ass car.
I would like to have a minivan, myself. But..no can afford. So...I'm keeping the Sidekick. Great on gas, small enough to fit in tiny spaces, low mileage cuz I don't drive often. And..it's paid for.

I got the VW Van because I was in my wandering days. I moseyed all over the central coast, camping out, getting dogs out of the pound that were meant to be put down that day and giving them to people on the beach instead. I was totally hippyfied by then. I just wish I could remember what the heck I did with it!!

Yeah, the old VW buses are classics themselves these days, with quite a loyal following.

My very first car was a 1969 VW Beetle with no brakes (it was nearly 20 years old at the time). I drove it for awhile with only the emergency brake and some skillful down-shifting to stop me, and ended up trading it for a motorcycle without having fixed the actual brakes.

That sounds familiar! I think I have had to do that before myself, lol.
Dad gave my sister and I an old Bonneville that was on it's last legs so we painted it all flowery and peace signs and drove it around with the rods knocking so bad we had to crank the radio just to hear the tunes, lol. It finally burped it's last and we all filed out of the car and hitched home. It was me, my sister and 3 girlfriends. But it lasted long enough for me to meet my first husband. I'm still not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing, even now.
