My first was a 1976 Malibu Classic. It was maroon and the gas gauge didn't work. I had to keep track of my mileage.
-1986 Pontiac 6000 2-door that had a $150 paint job from Earl Scheib.
- 1982 Volkswagon Vanagon. It had the air cooled engine and very little heat. I kept ice scrapers in it so we could scrape the inside of the windows. Because of the van I was "the transporter" in college and made some cash here and there, but if I got too many people in there with the cold weather the inside of the windows would frost over.
- 1982 Chevy Conversion van that I lost when a tree fell on it during a hurricane.
- 1994 Ford Escort. I felt like I was always driving a clown car.
- 1994 Pontiac Bonneville SSE. This was red and loaded with every option I could have imagined. Heated leather seats, 6-disk CD changer, sun roof, heads up display, etc. It had 80,000 miles on it when I got it but the body and interior was in fantastic shape. It made it to 140k miles before the transmission went out and I traded it in.
- 1998 Ford Explorer Sport. I still have this, but mainly just drive it back and forth to work.
I've been looking at getting another VW Van, just haven't found the right one yet. I'd like to find one that needs some body/interior work but is mechanically sound. I'd enjoy doing the body work myself and getting it just the way I want.
