    1976 Chevy K-5 Blazer.

    Dad gave me this one when I turned 17. Had a nice lift on it and huge tires. I was the biggest and loudest thing on driving around town. I could very often be found at the gas station too. I think that thing got gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon. :rofl

    '69 VW Beetle. Purchased in '75 for $400. Drove it into the ground for nine years and sold it for $100. A few years later they were commanding very high prices.

    1965 (might have been 1968, I can't remember) Buick Wildcat that I got in 1989. Baby blue. We called it the dreamboat. The trunk was so big I could lie down in it.

    390 with a little work done to it by Kushi Racing. I'd go through the traps in 3rd gear at 128MPH and had another 600 rpm's to go before I needed to shift into 4th. I didn't change the rear end because of the gas mileage thing. I drove it on the street and was a cheapskate. It only got 10-12MPG as it was. Didn't want to make it 8...

    I used to share the bleach at Lebanon Valley, NY with Shirley Cha Cha Muldowney.(sp)
