'71 Dodge Charger SE (a beautful-looking car with really crappy brakes) '74 Volvo 240GL (the absolute worst car I ever owned!) '81 Chevy Citation (not great, but lightyears better than the Volvo!) '86 Ford Taurus (very reliable and comfortable) '92 Honda Accord wagon (the best car that ever I owned–up until that time) '97 Subaru Outback Limited (more reliable than the Honda!) '02 Subaru Outback H-6 3.0 VDC (more reliable than all of the preceding cars) Somewhere in my house, I still have the glossy sales brochure for each of these cars, and occasionally it is interesting to look at those brochures to see the reality of the manufacturer’s claims, as well as the state of technology at the time each car was made. ---

By listing my cars I will be showing my age as well. Fortunately, I’ve had the opportunity to drive company cars for a good part of my working life. So, here goes: 1. 1948 Dodge (wrecked in accident) 2. 1948 Chevrolet 3. 1957 Plymouth 6 4. 1961 Ford 6 5. 1965 Dodge Dart V8 6. 1966 Chevelle Malibu V8 7. 1971 Mercury Comet 6 8. 1976 Ford Granada V8 9. 1977 Pontiac LeMans V8 10. 1977 Dodge Colt 11. 1980 Oldsmobile Delta 88 V8 12. 1984 Chevrolet Impala V8 13. 1988 Chevrolet Caprice V8 14. 1994 Nissan Sentra 15. 2007 Toyota Corolla This list includes company cars as well as those owned. The 1957 Plymouth and the 1976 Ford Granada were less than stellar vehicles. The most pleasant car was the Olds 88 with the F41 handling package. P.S. I forgot to add a 2002 Proton Waja, a Malaysian designed compact based on the Mitsubishi Lancer or Dodge 2000 GT. ---

1974 Ford F-100 : 3 the tree ,no power steering/brakes/anything, no AC, and an 8 track player, lap belts only. Parents bought it for me for $800 when I turned 16 it wasn’t running when dad bought it, he said that if I wanted to drive, I was going to have to help get it running. We determined that the 302 2bbl wasn’t enough engine so we swapped in a 390FE 4bbl, and 4.11 rear end. I drove this truck until I was 18. Never broke down on me, but it did have carb icing problem in the winter and wasn’t the best in snow. Dad still has the truck 1992 Ford T-Bird SC: My saintly grandmother determined that the F-100 was too unsafe for her favorite grandson. And basically told my grandfather that there were going to buy me a safer car. As luck would have it, there was a guy down the street selling the T-Bird for a song more or less. Mom and dad weren’t really on board with the idea, since they felt the F-100 was adequate for an 18 year old’s needs, But granny was relentless and after the T-Bird was inspected and nothing wrong found with it. I was driving it around. This car had everything, leather, power everything, adjustable suspension, plenty of power from the supercharged V6, etc. A great car. 1995 Ford Bronco: When my little brother turned 16 it was determined that I would be surrendering the T-Bird to him since I didn’t pay a red cent for it. So when Dave turned 16. I handed over the keys to him and went looking for another vehicle. I was looking at Dodge Rams and F-150’s mainly, But I came across this Bronco, and liked it. It was full sized yet had only two doors, I really liked the seats, it was agile for such a large vehicle, and it had all the comfort and convience items I was looking for, and it was a bit cheaper than the other trucks I had been looking at, so I paid cash for it. I picked it up when it had about 41k on the clock. It now has around 198k on it, and aside from a transmission rebuild it’s been bulletproof. I still have it, but it’s not the daily driver anymore. My brother promptly traded in the T-Bird for a 1996 F-150 4x4. 2003 Ford Mustang GT: with the Bronco getting up in mileage I figured it that it would make sense to get something else for use as daily driver. I had always wanted a V8 Mustang and figured that it was high time I get one. I wanted (and budgeted for) a Cobra or Mach 1 model. But I came across this silver GT at an auction first and was able to pick it up for far less than what it was worth. It has leather, power seat/windows/locks/CD Changer and all that good stuff. Since I still had a substantial amount of money left over, I decided to get some Bullitt wheels, Eibach Sportline springs, adjustable Koni struts/shocks, Cobra-spec brakes, 4.10 rear end gears, BBK off-road X pipe, single chamber Flowmaster mufflers, a Diablosport hand held tuner, a Steeda short throw shifter, and most importantly a Kenne Bell supercharger. It’s my daily driver, the only complaints I have are that the seats aren’t as comfy as the ones in the Bronco, and that it’s really bad in the snow. Right now the plan is to hold on to it until the new 5.0L DOHC engine becomes available in the new Mustang. 1974 Triumph TR6: Been in the family since new. 97% restored, seats, interior carpeting, dashboard, brakes, clutch, and the gearbox have all been replaced/rebuilt. Has a new softop, wheels are new as well, It was repainted in the late 80’s and it’s going to need another paint job if we ever want to take to car shows and such. When we took the gearbox out, we removed the body from the frame and repaired/replace some rusty crossmembers and the floorpan. Only has 77k original miles on it. Of course it does have some quirks, the headlights change intensity on their own and if you turn the steering wheel to full left lock the horn blows, and it leaks oil constantly. But it’s fun to drive, it’s not fast, but it handles well, and you get a sensation of speed. I can drive the TR6 at 50 MPH and get more of feel of speed than I do in my Mustang at 90 MPH. Enjoyable car. ---
