Before I die I thought I'd better post a list of vehicles I have owned in order to have this information cycle uselessly and eternally in the intertubes. I don't know why, it just seems like the right thing to do. In more or less chronological order:
63 Plymouth Valiant - push button trans, no floor, caught fire on the way to see the Dead. Bummer.
62 Ford F1something or other - well worth the $125 - many cold mornings knocking ice out of the filter bowl, though.
53 Chevy Sedan Delivery - custom, 283 auto, road sign orange, got me, the old lady, two dogs, a cat, a goat and all our stuff from Ohio to Seattle. All the while towing her Volvo P544.
56 Plymouth Belvedere - another $35 Plymouth. No reverse - had to do a lot of deep thinking about parking.
49 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pick up - built like a tank. In fact, I think it was built out of tanks. Plywood camper on the back. Took me from Seattle to San Luis Obispo and served as a mobile home backed up to a cliff looking out over the Pacific. Eat your big fat hearts out, rich people. Abandoned in California prior to the Great Migration back north. One of life's big regrets.
Where's that lovely purple Ford that you took on a lost weekend to Antioch College while re-living the life of Hunter Thompson in Fear and Loathing?
ReplyDeleteTechnically I didn't own that vehicle. However, I am still getting credit for having destroyed it (which, come to think of it, I did). So my brother didn't have a car to take to college. Boo freakin' hoo.
