  Those logging roads where you'ld hit the washboards just as an 18 wheeler 
with a full load of timber comes around a blind curve at you? Pucker factor of 
10.

      I can't remember what years most of my cars were. And most of the time I 
lived in Oregon, and all of the time I lived in New York, I had no car.

      1. Opel Kadett

      2. '56 Ford F100 pickup with a 272 V8 with tri-power. The on the column 
with overdrive. Man, I wish I still had that one.

      3. 1960 bus named Jason, because we bought it on Jason Street in 
Encinitas, Calif. Shared "ownership" with 4 other guys. We put thousands and 
thousands of milles up and down the West Coast and Colorado. Changed engines 
like they were batteries. A used engine complete, carb, heads, complete was 
about $80. Got arrested in for being a heavily armed car thief.

      3a. A 46 Chevy panel van named Mona. Had so many common owners, nobody 
knew who was in charge of it.

      4. 67 Volvo Station Wagon

      5. 75 Volvo Turbo Station wagon

      6. 90 Mitsubishi Montero

      Now own:

      05 Toyota Tundra

      05 Honda Element

      68 Karmann Ghia Vert

      63 Sundial treekisser Camper
