Cars I've Owned


  1. 1972 Chevy LUV pickup (an Isuzu in disguise. Never ran well, but when I was 16 mini-trucks were in)
  2. 1972 Audi 100 LS (smooth on the freeway, my date crashed it on the way to Knott's Berry Farm)
  3. 1966 Volkswagen Bug (learned to work on cars keeping this one running)
  4. 1981 Kawasaki KZ 550 motorcycle (5-year daily commuter)
  5. 1963 Rambler American 440 (for when it rained)
  6. 1973 Volkswagen Bus (ten years, three engines, lots of fun)
  7. 1968 Volvo 144s (never buy a car from your father-in-law)
  8. 1984(?) Volkswagen Rabbit GTI (totaled on the curb by a drunk driver after 36 days. I was upstairs, asleep)
  9. 1991 Volkswagen GTI (135,000 original miles and going strong)

I wish I had photographs of them all. I'd assemble an album, and include the best stories from each one.
