Mine was a five year old 1962 Chevy II I had in high school Embarassed

Becky J. · Posted: August 10, 2006, 7:24 pm Post subject:

1. 1978 Chevy Chevette, auto, silver...with a black LANDAU ROOF! (Have you EVER seen a Chevette with a landau roof?!! Laughing

) This was the first and last auto transmission car I've ever owned, 23 years ago (I didn't own it new).

2. 1982 Ford Escort 2-door, 5 spd., yellow and black.

3. 1986 Ford Escort 2-door, 5 spd., burgundy.

4. 1988 Dodge Daytona, 5 spd., black cherry metallic...WORST built car on the planet, but quick and fun to drive.

5. 1989 Suzuki Sidekick 2-door soft top, 5 spd., dark grey metallic...horrible and yet still not as badly built as the Daytona, GREAT in Wisconsin snow, but no foot heater on the driver's side...BRRRR!!!

6. 1996 Rav4 2-door, 5 spd., Sequoia Green Metallic...absolutely love at first sight, still miss her.

7. 2004 Rav4, 5 spd., Spectra Blue Mica...my current love.

Technically I'm also half owner of a 2002 Stellar Blue Pearl 4Runner and a 2006 dark metallic blue Honda Civic 5 spd. with nav. I don't normally drive the Runner (too big, too auto), but I do drive the Civic and it's pretty fun.
