My first car I got from my parents SilverWarder Send a noteboard - 12/04/2010 05:01:36 PM
It was a '73 Chevy Nova.

Not a horrible car. Drove that thing right into the ground. The straight six engine in it was close to unkillable.

Electrical harness eventually started to go though. Too bad. In many ways it was a pretty good car.

I'm now driving a 2005 Sunfire - the last of the Sunfires as it were (last model year). It's the second Sunfire I've had and overall I'm okay with it.

GM pissed me off with their (quite literally) illegal behaviour over lease billings when I returned my Grand Am. As such they aren't likely to see my business again.

Not sure what I'll get when this goes although if I'm still working out of town I really want something with four wheel drive and more clearance. The roads out here can get hairy sometimes.

Oh and what would I have if I could 'dream car' it? Well another Porsche would be good (had one when I was in the military for awhile) but really I'd want a Lamborghini Countache in deep midnight blue? Why? Because it's fast, impractical, looks cool and would be fun!

May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.
