Let's see what Disgruntled Publicus can tell my grand kids about my daily drivers.
1957 Hillman Husky (rusted out)
1955 Ford Fairlane convertible (rusted out - body fell off rounding a left hand corner!)
1955 Buick Special with Cruise-a-port VistaVents (sold for $50 to Willie James B. "if you know any young ladies who's looking for babies, tell 'em Willie James B_____ is in town") - heading for South Carolina tonight to avoid getting served on a paternity rap)
1965 Austin Healey 3000 (120,000 + miles, starting to rust - sold for $100 to be restored)
1972 Datsun 510 (rusted away, but lots of fun while it lasted!)
1978 Buick Special Station Wagon with tacky wood siding (so uninspiring that he can't even remember)
1984 Volvo 240 station wagon (a death trap - by far the worst car in the snow ever driven!)
1992 Ford Taurus Wagon (stolen and dumped in the river - no bodies were found inside when fished out a year later.)
2002 Ford Escape (transmission failure)
2012 Ford Escape (currently limping and starting to rust, but has new tires to add value)
OK, the first 5 cars had some je ne sais quoi. But Disgruntled sees that by 1978, it all turned south!
Gordy and his spousal unit get to drive such fine cars to their place of employment. Disgruntled feels bad about my rides and needs to go to a safe place where he won't feel bullied.

I love my wife, she is quick, & likes to go top down.
We both love to drive.
