'68 Pontiac Catalina

This was my first car. I bought it in 1978 for $500. For a cheap car it ran great. The only time that it wouldn't start was the day that I left the keys in ignition and locked the doors. I sold it just before I moved to Florida in 1983.

'73 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

I bought this car from the bartender at Tiki Gardens in Indian Shores Beach in 1985 for $350. The body had a lot of rust but the rest of the car ran pretty good. The large engine had a 4 barrel carburetor and would accelerate like a rocket. In the summer of 1986 I decided to move to Colorado. About half way across Texas the power steering went out and the mechanic said it would cost several hundred to repair so I ended up driving the rest of the way without power steering. I drove the car like this until the transmission finally crapped out in 1991.

'93 Ford Taurus

I bought this car because I was really getting tired of riding the bus. After about one year it started to fall apart one item at a time. First the transmission failed then the engine. I put a lot of miles on this thing driving up into the mountains on the weekends. I decided to trade it in but before I got the chance, I was rear ended and the car was totaled.

'98 Dodge Avenger

I used the insurance check to buy this car in 2000. I saw it on the lot and just wanted it. This vehicle was perfect. It was loaded with leather seats, moon roof, A/C, Advanced Infinity Sound System and power everything. I drove it everywhere and it never needed anything beyond oil changes and a minor tune up.

'03 Dodge Durango SLT+

In December 2006 we got hit with several bizzards one right after the other. As much as I liked the Avenger, I needed to get a vehicle that can handle this kind of weather. So I traded the Avenger for this Durango. I shopped around and this was the one that I liked. Like the Avenger this car was loaded with everything including heated leather seats, auto dimming mirrors, custom sound system and GPS. I plan on taking this car on a road trip around the USA.

'72 Lunar Rover

After moving to the moon, I will need a vehicle to get around the neighborhood. This used car should do just fine. It is a convertable with power everything and 4-wheel drive for those long drives to the office in the next crater. The batteries can be recharged by solar power and you never have to worry about flat tires.
