First Car

My first Car was not a car, but actually a truck. I got it while I was a senior in HS. Which was only a couple of years ago. A 1970 Chevey c10. Oh that was the greatest hunk of junk I ever saw. You could see the ground through the floor, pieces would fall off while I drove, it got 10 miles to the gallon. It had driven so far that the odometer had actually rolled over and read under 100 thousand miles again. It finally blew up with me at the wheel on my way to pick up a date for winter formal. My SVX, as you can see, was a huge leap in quality and performance. but sometimes I still miss my old beater. Unfortunatly the SVX may have ruined me for other vehicles. Mine tranny went a while back and the circumstance got so bad that I even made it out to a car lot. But I could find nothing that even compaired to what I was used to. Well for an attainable price anyway. So I gave up and took to walking for a few months, scrimping and saving the whole time. I'm getting my syren back next week. And here I am, already buying new things to put in it. They need rehab for this.

I think, at one time or another, I've missed every car/truck/motorcycle I've ever owned.

I thought this was rehab!

Yes, Steve, THIS is rehab. Hi. My name is Randy and I'm a SVX-a-holic.

HI RANDY!

I "miss" some of my other cars, but, not to the extent that I'd like to have them back (except maybe the '80 Spitfire). The SVX is not a car that I plan on missing. I can already tell that SVX-a-holism is going to be a lifetime thing.

My first car (in 1972): Red/White 1964 Ford Fairlane 4-Door with a hole in the floorboard (Straight 6 Power, baby!).

Woot...Ford Fairlanes. You still have that by chance? ;D I'd love to have one!

No, sorry. I bought it from my Uncle for 300.00 in 72 (paid him 30 bucks a week 'til it was paid off). I sold it back to him for 110.00 (the price of a plane ticket to Omaha, NE) in 75. I've always said, I'd like to find that car again and fully restore it. Probably won't happen, though.

Your uncle sounds like a good buisness man.

No crap! Not to mention, he was getting me to work the pumps, and do simple bay work, for cheap, at his newly opened service station in the interim.

Sounds like he should be working wallstreet
