I was blessed with an excellent memory (which I destroyed in HS and college) and my Dad once promised me a car when I got my DL. So, when I was 16 I got:
1980 Honda Accord - drove it everywhere - and on the off-chance that I went to class, I'd lend it to friends. It had this inexplicable tendancy to DIE while making turns. Yet, I think its official demise was "Death by Crash"...
1980 Renault Alliance - a real P.O.S. I totalled this one in an alcoholic blackout. (No lectures please! I no longer drink.)
1978 Mercury Zephyr - inherited this one from grandpa. don't think it went over 70MPH. Eventually it stopped going in Reverse.
1992 Jetta GL - friend of mom's wanted out of his lease early so I assumed it. And, my love affair with Jetta's began! When the lease expired, i leased a...
1996 Jetta GL - the love affair continued, the lease expired and I leased a...
2000 Jetta GLS - my FIRST stick shift!! (I was 30 years old - figgured it was 'bout time!) Still wish I had bought the car at lease-end. My now-ex wanted a Jeep so I inherited a
1998 BMW 528i - what's not to like about it? a) the speeding tickets that I collect b/c I can do 90 in 3rd and it just purrrrrrs along! b) the maintenance costs an arm and a leg! and now that we're divorced, I'll be going back to my JETTAS!!
