As you can tell, I was poor.
My 1st dozen cars were Pontiac's mostly 67-74 Firebirds. I had 3 '67s, a Catalina 2+2 428ci I bought for $500 & 2 Firebird 400. I sold my last 67 bird in 2003 & flew to Portland OR the next day to buy my Boxster off E-bay. Whats the US name for a Laurentian? Bonneville?

I got a 1979 VW Scirocco for $300 a month before I turned 15. For my 15th birthday I got a Bentley Book.

I had 4 cars before I could legally drive. Two Bugs, a karmann ghia and a 914. None of them ran either.
