First car was a VW squareback wagon last year of the carburated engine...
That car was followed by a long list of MGBs, Roadsters and GTs from the mid 60s thru' early 70s... The first and best of the lot was a 72 Roadster that had a quarter sprint cam... It had torq you wouldn't expect from a small car of that vintage and I recharged the Lever Shocks with 30 weight oil so the car cornered like a skate board...
Even with modifications most of the cars I owned thru' the 80s were boreing econoboxes, coupes and sedans, I really liked my 78 F150 4x4 and 79 Bronco 4x4, go most anyplace, anytime, in almost any weather, working vehicles not todays SUVs ....
93 brought a 88 Olds Toronado Trofeo... Possibly the best car I've ever owned.... It handled like a sports car with luxury appointments and rode like Limo with fuel economy in the low 20s, oh, and lots of gadgets... As a daily driver for 10 years it saw way to many New England Winters, it was awsume in the snow, and at close to 300,000 miles it needed more in rusted parts replacement than it was worth... I still miss that car
Today the 300D is a daily driver and the Bonneville is backup and foul weather ride... The Miata is my weekend toy
