1979: bought a 1974 VW Super Beetle, Sun Roof, no EFI. Paid cash. 1700 bucks, money I had saved up working after school.
1987: bought a 1985 Nissan 300ZX with T-TOp, no Turbo. (The Bug got mad at me for that.)
Let Bug go in January of 1989, and that was a decision I still regret. I loved that car.
Let Z go in 1995 before moving to Italy, as with two kids the two seater was getting hard to justify.
1995 bought used Alpha sedan, 1984 version, sold it in 1998 when we left Italy.
1998. Saturn SL2.
That' it.
Since I got married, bought two minivans, but those are not my cars. (1991 and 2000)
I don't like buying cars, really.
An SUV like The Hummer, which some of my neighbors drive, today costs as much as the townhouse I bought in Va Beach in 1984. And for that reason alone, I aint gonna buy a car in that price range, ever. Dont want to pay mortgage payments for a car. :)
