I had a white Dodge Dart in the late 70’s, the family car, passed down to me. Not quite sure the year. I hit a mailbox my first outing alone.

The first car I ever bought was a 1975 Volvo 164E. That was a real looker. Very rounded and European styling. Loved the way it looked. I miss it.

Bought a Kia Amanti years ago, which is it’s reincarnation. Very lovely car—kind of looks like an old style Mercedes. My sister (a non car person) recognized it as the Volvo’s similar twin.

The first car I ever wanted was a 1975 Toyota Landcruiser in fire engine red. Whenever I see one in the Tucson area, I take it’s picture. Still fantasize about it, but I’ve test driven several, but I can’t handle not having power steering and better shocks.

My husband says one day he’ll buy me one just to go down the road to the local grocery store.

My dream car is the Defender 90 land Rover. My wife says it looks like a garden shed and if I buy it we have to move so no one who knows us will see me drive it.
