I was talking with a friend about our first cars recently and found mine online. Banana yellow Buick Skylark . No, that's not me. πŸ˜‚ What was yours?

@corlin omg, I loved those! It had that concave rear window. Too cool 😎

@SPFX

Had that indestructible "Slant 6" engine.
Not fast....
But totally reliable, easy to work on..... except that damn oil filter stuck down near the front right wheel well.

@corlin A beast in all the good ways. They don't make'em like that anymore.

@SPFX
Yellow 78 Corolla for highschool
Red 87 Celica for post-college, marriage, gradschool and 1st kid

Loved both!

@SPFX

a 1970 1/2 Pontiac Tram Am (used) and a rusted out 1971 Chevy Impala beater for winter driving (these are not mine, just stock photos)

@SPFX

it was a different time...fuel was cheap...Dad had left....I had made money working at his Gas station over the Summer before 10th Grade....sure why not....435HP in the hands of a kid that just got his Drivers License....😜 πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@SPFX My first car was a β€˜69 Toyota Landcruiser and hubby had a β€˜66 mustang convertible. Neither were new. We both lived in different worlds at that time. 😎

@realDDGlover Fun cars, too cool. 😎 Who needs practical. πŸ˜‰

@SPFX
42 years later my main vehicle is still four wheel drive. And he has a convertible sports car that has to stay in the garage in the winter. See we never learned. Lol.

@SPFX β€˜68 mustang with oxidized paint wearing thin in places LOL $600, had to pay for 1/2 myself & the insurance, gas & maintenance.
It died protecting me when a very old man with Alzheimer’s ran a red light & t boned me.

@SPFX wish I had had it longer. It was my freedom machine. After school if I didn’t have to work, I’d drive country roads out to yellow springs & hike & draw in the Glenn there

@Groovyeli 🎼 Country roads take me home to the place where I belong. 😁

@Groovyeli @SPFX
89 navy blue vw golf.

Someone took a really sharp turn too fast,.slid sideways across the road and hit me head on. ☹️
