The ones I've had:
1979 Toyota Pickup (was rusting to pieces, but I could always keep her running. Ran into a pole.)
1988 Honda Accord LX-I Hatchie (Idiot swerved into me and the smallish dent in the front was fatal. Freakin' Japanese unibodies.)
1984 Ford Escort Wagon (Ran for about 24 hours and then sat at the curb until the city impounded it. I let them keep it.)
1983 Toyota Cressida 5-speed (Fast and a blast to drive. Chewed up the gears and it would have been too expensive to get new ones, so I junked it.)
1994 Ford Escort Hatchback (was my brother's car; he gave it to me when he bought a truck. Lasted about 3 days before the engine inexplicably threw a rod. I'm never again buying an Escort)
The ones I still have:
1984 Ford F-250 HD (Reliable, but leaks every single fluid that one can put into it, except gas. Plus, the 460 V8 is not exactly what anyone would refer to as fuel efficient.)
2007 GPH FY250 (My little bike. Gets about 94 mpg and was made in China.)
1971 VW SB (My current project and all-time favorite. I'm buying VW's from now on.) |
