Folks,

I learned to drive in a 1951 Plymouth about 1970 ... my father bought it new 
and I still have it in a field.  It had normal theee on the tree manual 
transmission. My mother mostly, drove that car until probably almost 1980 ... 
she love hated that car.

The first car that I bought was probably another Plymouth that I bought for 
parts that ended up in a field.  It probably cost $20. T.he first car that I 
bought and drove was a 1963 VW bus that started life as a dry cleaner delivery 
van. I paid $50 about 1970 and probably spent $50 rebuilding it with mostly 
used parts. An airplane mechanic helped me build the first engine. This started 
a mini career for  Buying  VW Cars cheap with bad engines, rebuilding them and 
reselling.... in the 70s and 80s we ran a print shop and VW repair shop ... I 
have probably rebuilt 100 vw engines .... then I switched to Peugeot’s in 1985 
and drove and drove and fixed them for almost 20 years until I bought a 300td 
which I am barely driving at this point.

Xx rick
