My first car

76 Olds 4-door floatin down the freeway on a cloud.

Car I wish I still had

My 68 Olds Cutlass. In an 11-car wreck on I-5, I'm the only guy that walked away uninjured. Bad rain + traffic slowing to 30mph =One guy in a Neon hitting me from behind and going under me doing 90mph. My rear was hopped up on air shocks and he was lowered. He put me into a spin and two other cars hit me head-on, crushing my fenders and bumper. Amazingly, after I got the car towed home, ripped the front clip off and put the battery back in the tray she started on the first try and ran strong as ever!

My dream car

59 Caddy Coupe Deville. This car had been for sale locally since I was a little kid for $4200. We'd ride by on our bicycles, laughing at this car that seemed 100-feet long. Years go by, I'm into older cars now and I notice the guy has lowered the price to $2500. After talking to him I discover it runs, has spare parts, is quite solid, and he'll let me drive it away for $1200!! I rustle up some cash and return to watch another guy drive off down the street in her....I still have nightmares 7 years later.
