I was born the same year my first car rolled off the assembly line.

1979 Dodge Aspen Station Wagon "Woody"
I paid $450 for the car when I was 15, and had to get the car running so that I could drive it.
It had a 225 Slant 6, Vynil interior, and I drove the hell out of that thing. Mine was the same color as pictured.
In the 18 months that I drove the car before it died on me, I put somewhere around 30k miles on it. I drove it to school. I drove all my friends home from school. I drove to work. I drove to friends houses. I drove 70 miles to Columbus (and then back) on the weekends. Having a station wagon in the 90's when gas was cheap (I believe I was paying ~$.83 - $.89 a gallon) makes a kid pretty popular
