I started out with a 1966 VW Beetle with a rebuilt '63 engine in it. Then had the "thrill" of a '74 Vega hatchback. From that went to a 76 Plymouth Duster. After that got married and had some station wagons and then an Olds Delta 88 with the converted gas to diesel in it. No choice of mine but the price was too good to pass up. Most recent cars have been a '97 Dodge Neon and then the wife's 2000 Kia Sephia. Neon was totaled in a deer accident so am currently driving a 2009 smart car. What's funny is that of all the cars, the smart is the safest one. It has a Nascar compatible safety frame and has a hitch on the back for the bike rack. We're Empty Nesters now and members of the Sandwich Generation, so it's nice to go on about 5 or 6 gallons a week at the gas pump. As for the old Vega, it burned more oil than gas!
