I started out riding in the back of a black and white '54 Chevy. It got traded in for a '62 Chevy Nova-2. Dad hated that car. That got traded in on the previously mentioned '66 Fury wagon. When it got totaled we got the '69 Custom Suburban. In college I got my own, first car, a '74 Dodge van; it had a 360 with 4 barrel Thermo-quad, headers, Edelbrock manifold, 50 series tires all around (steered like crap with those), and of course all of the college guy stuff such as the "rain roof". That thing went way too fast for a van! Dad got a 77 New Yorker with a 440 and everything else that Mopar could think of to bolt onto a car. My '74 has gone to the great crusher now, and I now drive a '83 Dodge van with a 225 slant 6, 904 automatic, and a teeny-tiny 1 barrel carb. My lawnmower accelerates better, but the van is 30 years old and looks almost like new, and runs great. There have been a few other cars, but my Wife drives those, so they dont really count.
That concludes my automotive history. There will be a quiz on Friday.
