lol.... tell me about it. No telling how much I have spent in gasoline... the Mercedes and the Lexus get really good MPGs though... around 20 mpg in town and the Lexus is a V8. The Mercedes is an inline 6-cylinder. That yellow 1984 Mercedes 190D diesel I had got 32 mpg in town and 43 mpg on the freeway!

That camero (well not that one in the pic) was my car in school. I loved that car. It had the 327 with the double camel hump heads? If that is right. Mine was auto but at red lights I use to act like it was a standard. ha! Good days, good memories.
I would have loved your dad's!

Ok, these are not pictures of my actual cars. Nothing fancy (at all).

1985 Mazda 626 LX (mine was the same color, and a 5-speed)



My second car was purchased as a graduation present in 1997. It was a 1989 Honda Civic Si (also 5-speed). Mine was also red like this one.



Next was a 1989 Ford Probe LX (5-speed) and a 1992 Ford Probe (5-speed). The one pictured looks like the 1992 -- except mine were red and turquoise respectively (the 1989 had a slightly look...but same body style).

Then I had a 1993 Ford Probe, SE, 4-cyl 5-speed again. The version pictured below looks like a GT. Mine had steel wheels (with hubcaps), no spoiler, and was a light blue color.

My current car is a 2001 Chrysler Sebring LX (V6 however). It is my first automatic car! The version picture here looks like an LXi. Mine is a dark candy apple red color.

1928, with the Model A.
Electric starters were 'optional' from 1919 up and what was called "the improved car" (26-27) came with them.

I agree! I drove that Honda from Pittsburgh, PA to Daytona Beach, FL and only stopped for gas once along the way. I spent $50 in gas. True gas was around $1.75/gallon back then...or something crazy like that!
