12. I had a 78 Rabbit Diesel
Great little car. I remember being able to drive cross country for about $50. My only complaint was starting it in Winter, the glo plugs were a huge drain on the battery.

4. I have the newest!
Well, at least until tomorrow. It's a loaner from my car dealership (they screwed up and owed me big time) and had less than a dozen miles on it when they handed it to me.

5. I've got two oldies
A 1951 Chevy 3600 3/4 ton truck.
A 1949 DeSoto Deluxe, a great gangster car, all black, oval back window, suicide back doors. It is like riding your couch down the road.

Mine's a 1963 International Harvester Model 1600. It's 29 feet eight inches long and weighs seven tons. You can take a tour of it at FUNDAY.
