Least favorite:
Pinto wagon that had been in an accident and crab-walked. It really should
have been cubed but it was all that I could afford and I never drove it on
the freeway. It was complete with genuine-imitation fake wood siding. I
never enjoyed a single minute behind the wheel of this piece of junk. Gees,
we Americans made some crappy cars!
Most favorite:
White, 1975, VW/Porsche 914. This thing had a fuel-injected VW 4 cylinder
engine mounted at **mid-ship**. The front end was (designed by Porsche)
with a 911 front end, unmodified, dropped right in. Oh my, did that thing
"corner"! The removable roof was stored in the back trunk. Oh gees, that
was fun. I still have the (huge) VDO tachometer with glass bezel from my
(earlier) '72 914. Oh.... oh..... gees..... gees, now I MISS it!
Lama
ps. Presently driving a 1988 Volvo wagon with nice metallic silver paint.
This thing has already lived two lifetimes (>211 thousand miles) and is
going strong. The only rust is where the owner (ahem!) neglected to care
for stone chips- in a car 13 years old!
