There's just something about a car that is taken care of and loved like that. It's almost like seeing a good marriage or hell, a hot guy working along side the road...it's unforgettable.

Take me, I'm yours...as long as I can pet your car.

Ok...got me reminiscing.

NOT a cool car...not even a "car"
but it was my first...1972 dodge van that I bought from my vrother for a dollar..and he included the engine (in BOXES!).

luckily one of my OTHER brothers was(is) a mechanic... and let me use some of his tools and knowledge.

ay yiyi. school of hard knocks (literally hard knocks at times!)

I kept a fire extinguisher in there...a chunk of 6x6 wood as emergency parking brake! 1/2inch and 9/16inch wrenches at the ready...there was a time when I would have to throw the block under the front wheel roll under and tighten the shift linkage at a moments notice.

crazy fun!

there was a bed in the back, orange carpeting and ugly panelling up to the windows, and curtains to velcro up all around (Brother was a real hippie).

for a while I had a 1920's vintage dentist's chair in the space between the seats and bed.

it was NOT a "babe magnet"...but neither was I. heehee

Funny, how we always get nostalgic about our first vehicle.

Funny, how we always get nostalgic about our first vehicle.

Not only our first vehicle, but our first gf/bf, our first kiss, our first time, our first child, our first grandchild, etc. adnausium.

Just a year ago I went through a time where I tried to find high school friends, now most I last saw 38 years ago.
Found several, have since stopped email, IM, as we really no longer have anything in common.
They have moved on to their life and I mine. Oh hum.

FORD (fix or repair daily) kept my "southern" uncle working full time for decades as shop foreman at the local Ford dealership. Any other brand was not an option.

I traded in the '46 for a bag of golf clubs. The Mustang stayed in the family for about 25 years until it became number one daughter's car which was stolen and totaled. I didn't cry, but I did whimper.

ps: Great coupe, Zeb.

A picture of a clone of my first car is attached (I hope). The car cost me £17.10.00 (Seventeen pounds and fifty pence). The insurance cost exactly the same.

My dream car would be a Bristol - discreet but powerful.
