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
