I also have a mechanics degree (which I never did anything with) and I worked for a major car manufacturer for almost seven years, which is where I met my wife (lets see if you can figure out which one by the cars I owned). That was cool. I also worked the Auto Show in NYC one year. So anyway that got me thinking about all the cars I've had. Get ready, here comes the list:
- 1982 Plymouth Horizon (automatic - white) - wrecked this one after 3 1/2 weeks; oops!
- 1980 Datsun 200SX coupe (5 speed - midnight blue) - was my dad's car for 10 years and I wrecked it after 10 days, and it wasn't even my fault!!
- 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza GT hatchback (auto - white)
- 1987 Nissan 200SX coupe (auto - red)
- 1995 Nissan 240SX SE (auto - maroon)
- 1994 Nissan Sentra XE 2 door (5 speed - gray)
- 1998 Volvo S70 T5 (high pressure turbo - 5 speed - blue)
- 1998 Volvo C70 coupe (high pressure turbo - auto - black)
- 2000 Volvo S70 (auto - dark blue)
- 2000 Volvo S70 SE (5 speed - white)
- 2000 Volvo C70 (high pressure turbo - 5 speed - dark blue) I loved this car!!!
- 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 extended cab (5 speed - black)
- 2001 Ford Explorer Sport 4x4 (auto - maroon)
- 2004 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1.8T (5 speed - gray)
My all time favorite car is a black 1967 Chevy Camaro RS/SS, 396ci, 4 speed. If you don't know what this car looks like, click on the Camaro link above, or simply watch the 80's movie "Better Off Dead". I have come to terms with the fact that I will never have one, but I can still dream. I have no idea what my next car will be, but it definitely has to be bigger than the Jetta. I think it's going to be a truck again since I live in the mountains and can't get up my driveway when it snows!
So here's my questions:
- What was your first car?
- What do you drive now?
- Do you have a dream car?

First off, my dad is a Volvo and Saab Mechanic and has a place with a co-owner. He has been doing it my whole life. I adore Saab Turbos. The 900 convertable is the car I wanted for my entire childhood. But I've still never had one.
Lets see - 1st car was a 1984 Nissan Pullsar - she was a train wreck. I only had her for two years and i replaced just about everything.
Now I have a 2004 Orange VW Beetle, but this you knew. Hubby has a Lincoln Aviator.
I'd love to have a Saab Turbo convertable or a cute little Porsch one day.
I can't answer your questions because all I can say is this:
"Fronch fries...Fronch Dressing...and to drink: Peru!"
John Cusack playing Lane is right up there with Lloyd Dobler. LOVE HIM!
John Cusack was staying at the same hotel in Vegas that I was at for a business trip. I had VPs telling me where he was at any given moment...and I gambled at the same table in the casino. Needless to say I lost $$ b/c I was too busy drooling to pay attention to the game.
1. What was your first car? 1963 Dodge Polara convertible w/ push-button transmission
2. What do you drive now? My late mother's 2002 PT Cruiser(it's in my name now)
