Chevelle was a nice car. I never had one. I did have the 1972 chevy Nova with the special engine. Got it used and the previous owner really did some nice work on it. Gave it to my sister when I went to college. A friend had a chevy Vega which was a lemon. I have a chevy Monza in the early 80’s. Nice little car but didn’t go thru telephone poles.
I had an Audi Fox standard. Great car!
My first time over 100 mph was in a Nova SS. I had a 1980 Chevy Monza 4 banger with a manual tranny. It was a rust bucket. The V6 models were pretty powerful for what it was. Glad you survived the pole. I did that in a 1990 Plymouth Acclaim.

This could be a dangerous slide...Last time I did this, I rec’d a not-so-nice PM to knock off the car slide.
I didn’t start driving until after I got out of the service-1971
Since then I would guess I’ve had 50-60 cars and a motorcycle.
My cousins are in the auto business and I bought a 74 Audi Fox with 138k miles for 400 bucks from one of them.
The speedometer was pegged so who knows how many actual miles. Until i rewired the starter, I had to back into an incline in the parking lot at work, so I could get the car rolling then pop the clutch to start it.
I had a 71 & 74 Vega. My girlfriend at the time (now my better angel) bought the 71 Vega for a buck then sold it to me for a buck. She then got totalled in it...no harm to here. That wreck begat the 74 Vega...fat tires, racing stripes - car couldn’t get out of its own way.
I also had a 68 Chevy badged Chevy II-Nova. Floorboards were rotted...used plywood over some boards to cover the holes. Whatever pollution stuff was on it was cut off and crimped. Somebody put an after-market carburetor on it where, after a while, the bowl would over-fill and produce a flood condition...while driving. Had to pull over to the side and wait a bit, then go again.
Guess I could do the begats again, of all the vehicles, to see how many I have had...and that includes buying the same car twice.
