This thread reminds me of how grateful I am not to own an automobile. Not because I don't like driving; I do, but holy cow, do they suck up a lot of money, and for most of the country you don't have a choice; you can't even get to the grocery store without one.
My last car was a 1976 Caprice Classic. My dad was so concerned about any of us kids getting into a wreck that he would only let us drive boats. That thing was the length of a station wagon without actually being a station wagon. Too bad I was such a nerd in HS; it had an enormous back seat that didn't get nearly enough use.
By far, the best out of all of the behemoths we had was my granddad's old Buick. What a nice car. I was p*ssed when my brother totaled it.
Never owned a truck, but my uncle has a 92 Ford that is still kicking.
