My history in Cars

I haven't owned that many cars. If I added in the cars that my husband has owned since we've been together, this post would be much longer. But I'm focusing on ME. ME ME ME ME. Because, really, it's all about me.

Here I am with my first car. I (We, my parents and I) bought it when I was 15 and didn't yet have my drivers license. Then, being an overeager teen, I took my test on my birthday and failed. It was an unfair fail. I still believe this to this day. The man that tested me had issues.
Love the bouffant bangs. That is a hottie there. And the car is pretty cool too.

I suppose I should mention what the car is. 1982 Mazda RX7.
Here I am (I think) the day I brought home my new car. It happened to also be prom night. This is me and my good friend Michael, who consented to go to my senior prom with me since my dickhead boyfriend was too cool to go with me. It had a manual transmission, so yes, I can drive a stick. Ahem.

The year of the car escapes me. But it is a Toyota MR2.

Here I enter a slightly more sensible phase. I bought this car after my Aunt Kay traded it to a dealership. This car took my friend Rachel and I to Texas and back, and took me back and forth from home to Mankato (college) many, many times.

1989 Pontiac Grand Am.

We sold the Grand Am when I took possession of my current car, a 2002 PT Cruiser. Go figure, no photos of me with my current car. Probably because I don't look as cute as I once did. We sold the Grand Am to one of Craig's coworker's daughter. She hit a deer with it and pretty much totaled it within a month.

So there you have it. My (short) car history. What's yours?

The hair in all three pics looks very familiar! I had all of those styles! Ha!!!

My first car was a Renault Alliance. It looked like a little box on wheels. I loved it and it got me where I needed to go. After college, I bought a Tracer and had that until we bought our Suburban. Pretty short history.

WOW take me back.
I was just reading your fun blog and found this post.

Do you mean Mankato, Minnesota?
"Deep Valley" as in the Betsy Tacy Books by Maude Hart Lovelace?
I went there for Maude's Cententenial Birthday (she was dead though)and all things Betsy Tacy, and stayed at the Holiday Inn across the street from the Library.
