I knew so little about cars back then that I didn't realize that the black hid a Bondo job. That car had so much rust that every time I washed it, pieces of metal would fall off. I soon decided that the dirt was all that was holding it together, and I washed it as little as possible!

Oh, well, we live and learn.... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ah, yes, the Volare. The car that actually started to rust on the showroom floor.

Anybody else getting in on this thread?

We used to name our cars. We had a big gold colored Volare named "Goldie" and a brown Olds 88 known as "The Moose".

My first car that mom and dad bought me was a 1986 Dodge Charger 5 speed. It was a pretty cool little car. Drove it till the wheels fell off practically.

The very first car I bought myself was a 92 Dodge Stealth.
Man that thing was HOT!!
I always used to say that I shouldn't have bought it because I couldn't tell anymore whether the guys were checking ME out or my car!

Anyway, my husband always teases me and tells friends that he married me for my Stealth and Chiefs season tickets! [img]graemlins/Laughing.gif[/img]
