Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: RE: Cars you've owned and driven sealiongirl - 2009-01-22 12:48 PM 1988 VW Vanagon Westfalia (husband's current car. We bought it in 2007 and had it fully restored. It's his commuting car and our camping vehicle. Love that car, too!) We had an '87 Westie (it was my husband's that he bought before he knew me, so I can't claim it) that we sold to buy the truck. We needed the truck for hunting and hauling a trailer, but man, I miss the Vanagon! We had so many great trips in that van! Whenever we strike it rich, that will be be our first purchase! |

You had the little egg too??? HILARIOUS! I started driving in 1990.. Yep, it looked like a little egg. Very good gas mileage, but not as good as I expected, lousy acceleration, good reliability. My brothers were saying that a friend owned one and it was a rusted out piece of 10 year old garbage. I replied that it made it 10 years, and that was pretty good to me. It was between the Mazda and the small Acura, and I decided to save $2,000. Unfortunately, I decided I wanted a better car after four years, and I realized I could have driven the small Acura a lot longer. I bought the Camaro, and it was the only time I made a decision on a car based on what I could afford, instead of what I needed. |

I knew there was a reason not to like you! |
I have always wanted a Ferrari...although my color of choice would yellow. I'd don't know why anyone would give away a Ferrari!| 2009-01-22 3:59 PM in reply to: #1922972 |

Oh yeah!!! *the song in Ferris Buler starts playing in my head* I used to valet park cars in a country club and at private parties. nice thing is that the parking lot was really small and narrow (not able to double park cars.) and every so often it would take me 15 minutes or so to "find" a parking spot around the corner. that being said some of my favorites are (age is an approxamation) '04 Porch Carrara 2 06 Mazarattis a Farrari F430 Spyder an H1 (like the Govanator) A new and a vintage Roles Royce Phantom A newer Bentley And my favorite an aston Martin Vantage A ton of "pimped out" Land Rovers and Escalades. and all the Lexus/Mercedes/BMW's and normal Porches you could ever want It was a fun Job |

It's his commuting car and our camping vehicle. Love that car, too!) I had a '72 VW camper for a very fun year -- lots of camping and road trips with my kids -- but then I blew up the engine. Just as well, cops were always pulling me over for something; even got flagged down outside a Phish concert by a hippie that was low on pot. Quite the conversation starter with older folks who drove them 25 years earlier. |

| Veteran 131 Tampa, Florida | Subject: RE: Cars you've owned and driven I've had a lot of cars, but by far the most interesting one, was the one my parents bought for me from Southwestern Bell when I was sixteen. It was an early 80's model Ford Escort. It was white, and the blue and yellow stripe down the middle of the car had been painted over with white paint, but it still showed through. Oh, and it beeped really loudly when you put it in reverse. I would get up very early for school so that I could be assured of a parking place at school where I wouldn't need to use reverse.....lol. I really don't miss that car. |

Well, in my case, it's combined cars. I've only actually owned 5 cars, in the same time frame. One I passed on to my sister, one I "passed" on to my ex, the others I've driven to the end. I knew Eric was a keeper when he showed up with a 15 year old car. |
