1971 VW Bug, and I learned to drive in that car

My mother said if I could drive that beast, I could drive anything and therefore I would never be stranded in any situation.

She was right (she always was)!!!

6 months later she put me into a Toyota hatchback, also a stick shift, and she drove the VW. She was a wise woman!!!

1963 Dodge dart. 3 speed on the column. Bright fire engine red inside and outside. HS graduation gift from my grandparents. I wasn't crazy about that car in particular but I was crazy happy to actually have a car.I drove it for about 5 years. It ran great, sold it to my nephew who immediately painted it black,and he drove it about another 3 years.By then it was 11 years old and died of old age.

My first car was a 1972 Plymouth Gold Duster (brown/gold). My folks bought it used for a $1000 for me in Dec. '76 when I turned 16. I drove that car until 1987! I bought myself an '86 Mercury Cougar (white) in '87 and drove it for 10 years!

Edited to say- "yes! I loved both cars!"

Yorkie, DH and I purchased a new silver T-bird in 1978. We loved that car. My brother told me when we decided to trade to call him; he said he would buy it. Well, after 12 plus years we decided to trade and called him re. our decision. He immediately went to the dealer and bought it. I think he loved it as much as we did and drove it for many more years.

I'm not sure of the year (76 maybe) Pontiac Sunbird.

A '59 Chevy convertible, brand new, blue exterior, white interior . . . with the "wings" in the back, whitewall tires. I felt like a princess. My beloved sister and I had a ball in that car!! Paid for it myself too.

Did it look like this? I love old cars.

'69 Camaro. It was my husband's car when we got married in '73 so it was mine to use. It was a light car and had an 8 cylinder engine--that car was fast! We had an 8 track cassette player installed--so cool!! It was impractical, though. It was a 2 door and the back seat was tiny, the trunk was small.

Did I love it? No. Can't say I loved any car. They are just transportation to me.
