Spent many a weekends in Larkspur and the City. We went to a few free, yes FREE concerts in Golden Gate Park in my hubby's 57 MGA. Oh how we loved that car, only to have to sell because we had TWINS! It was it or the truck and you don't seperate a man and his truck. At least not my man. So sacrifice we did. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177803470331591655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-1760793883584083292010-01-09T17:42:25.632-08:002010-01-09T17:42:25.632-08:00Thank you for that story!

I traded in my dad's '64 Ford Galaxie 500. 2 days before my 18th birthday. Ahhhh, what fun we had! I drove her, my brothers drove her, strangers drove her. She went to Alaska and back, with me. The last I saw of her, she was being driven away by "someone" who was going to pay me some odd amount of cash. Never saw her again, but.......and I say this with all sincerity: she's out there somewhere.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508036724977573254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-32269016108250397892009-11-23T18:56:23.176-08:002009-11-23T18:56:23.176-08:00Wow, Jayne.

There's road trips with friends, "loves of my life" that rode in them with me. I've even named all of my vehicles. They're as special as a person to me.<br /><br />My mom is driving what is left of my sixth car, and I drove it for one trip with my cat in tow. He's almost seven, and I remember bringing him home from the animal shelter in that car when he was a baby.<br /><br />There's all sorts of times when I had a blast in my vehicles -- especially my sports cars and 4x4s. But I'd rather not incriminate myself ;)Flat Broke Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11927450815837221685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-12591212187199342642009-11-20T13:30:03.514-08:002009-11-20T13:30:03.514-08:00Ah I remember those days back in '67 like they...Ah I remember those days back in '67 like they were yesterday. My days consisted of hanging out in the play pen, waiting for someone to feed me, change me and sing to me. <br /><br />I am so jealous of those memories and so surprised you lived to tell about it. What I find not so surprising is that your car only lasted 5 years! My first car was a '71 Torino, powder blue, with a hole in the gas tank so I could only put in a gallons worth (1.29). I could drive it about three blocks before I had to fill it up again. That was in '81 and I drove it until '86 when I crashed it and then roommates decided to play crash it more for shits and giggles. It is on some farm as well. My son is driving my 96 tahoe so I guess some of us know how not to drive the hell out of a car on acid. <br /><br />What fun, glad you made it to 2009 in one piece.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808210602431338186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-59873339817229321902009-11-20T12:49:22.326-08:002009-11-20T12:49:22.326-08:00Kristi and Gayle: So "mingled" was too ...Kristi and Gayle: So "mingled" was too subtle, huh?<br /><br />IB: See, in high school I wanted to take auto mechanics, but the sexist bastards made me take home ec.

British racing green and left-hand stick. I kept slamming my right hand into the door looking for the stick and kept looking at the non-existent rear-view mirror to my right instead of where it actually was, on my left. Since I was terrified to drive there, I managed to get to the grocery store, the veterinarian and a tiny little nearby town called Cobham to sit in the park, shop or wander among the grave stones in the ancient church. Good times!<br /><br />The ex got the car. :-( I also had a chocolate brown jaguar XKE convertible that my drug smuggler boyfriend gave to me around 1976. I was so hot driving around Scottsdale Arizona in that thing. (Hot meaning sexy. Not hot meaning 120 degrees). When he dumped me for some girl in high school (to whom he gifted a brand new Cadillac for her graduation), he gave me a Chevy Luv truck as a consolation prize. Good times. He did a million years in prison shortly after that. :-) But, we're still friends, now that he's free and a millionaire again somewhere in Fresno.Lisa Wineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924029943550959553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-70856629940308275922009-11-19T23:37:48.911-08:002009-11-19T23:37:48.911-08:00"Luggage birthday" - that's funny.
