Cars
This entry will be of interest to no one but myself but it's my blog... so there.
I think I can name every car my parents ever owned. There weren't that many. Let's see:
1938 Plymouth 2D
1952 Ford 4D
1958 Chevy Impala (lemon)
1959 Chevy Impala
1965 Plymouth Fury
1970 Plymouth Fury
1978 Chevy Nova
1984 Buick
1998 Pontiac Bonneville
I, on the other hand, currently at the age they were when they owned the '70 Plymouth, have owned the following:
1952 Ford 4D
1945 Jeep
1950 Mercury 2D
1965 Olds Cutlass
1970 Olds Cutlass
1969 Ford Falcon
1976 Datsun B210
1979 Chrysler Newport
1980 Plymouth Horizon
1969 International Scout
19-something International Pickup
1978 Olds 98
1948 Plymouth 4D
1957 Chevy 2D Hardtrop
1986 Ford Conversion van
1993 Ford Explorer
1989 Nissan Sentra
1992 Nissan Sentra
19-something Mazda RX-7
1988 VW Fox
1996 Chevy Suburban
2003 Ford Explorer
1999 Buick La Sabre
Not necessarily in that order, and maybe one or two more. It's been a long ride. I figure I'm good for maybe three or four more before I get too old to drive. If our next house is on an acreage, I want to get a pickup so I can haul stuff.
I was prompted to recall all these vehicles because we bought the 1999 Buick just yesterday so I will have transportation to work (assuming I'm going to get a job!) It's fun to drive. It's a big, comfortable, quiet land-yacht. If it holds together, I think it will become one of my favorites. I know what you're thinking... GEEZER CAR!. But I don't care. Comfort counts.

Well, it was of interest to ONE other person--me! I can remember every one of those cars, especially the Ford, the first brand new car we ever had, with that new invention, the windshield washer! Glad you could remember them all, including dates and models. Hope you like your geezer car--that's why we ended up with an America car, too.
