Auto Memories

We have been fortunate to enjoy Ojibwa’s automobile diaries, for example www.dailykos.com/…, for years.They show cars from several eras of the previous many decades. Seeing those preserved treasures can stimulate memories of one’s own automobiles.

My first car was the 1938 Plymouth I bought in college for $50. I sold it in my senior year…...for $50. That car was built before I was born! Next I had a 1947 Plymouth, followed by a series of Volvos, 7 to be exact. By then we needed two cars, so for a number of years I drove my 1946 Chevy van,

We tried a VW Diesel, a disaster. Then a Honda Civic. We finally bought a Prius. This was around the time they became so popular around here it seemed like every third car was a Prius. This car met an unfortunate end, but we Immediately bought another which we still have. I saw that the future would include EVs, so I toyed with the Tesla idea, but armed with Biden’s $7,500 tax incentive I bought a Chevy Bolt, which is my favorite car ever. It drives well, is super fast, and I can charge it at home. California has the highest gas prices in the country. Electric rates as well, but I still save a lot.

Do y’all remember your first car? Price? Or was it a gift? What was your best car? Worst car? Dream car? Did you ever have a convertible? Happy memories, I hope.

A friend mentioned a young group she had heard. There’s a YouTube. So much energy.
