[csziggy]

52. I had a 68 Buick Skylark!

Until I drove it to death. When I limped back home with it there was compression in 3 of the 8 valves. RIP Skylark. Cars like that are not meant to be driven on dirt roads in a national forest or to ford streams.

[Walleye]

55. I hate to say it but cars today are so much better. Mine was purple though we called it the grape

[csziggy]

59. Mine was silver - I hated the color

Apparently it was invisible on the road. I can't remember how many dozens of time someone pulled out in front of me since they "didn't see me. Fortunately it had great brakes. I ended up developing the habit - which I have kept to this day - of driving with my headlights in the daytime. Even then, people would pull out in front of that car.

[Walleye]

61. Me too. I had a Geo metro for a while, always drove with the headlights on

31. I named my first car after my first cat, does that count? n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. Only if your cat was named Cougar, Puma, or Jaguar! 😏

[TygrBright]

50. What's wrong with "Percy?"

My first cat was named Percy.

I named my first car Percy in honor of my cat.

A cat is an animal.

Therefore, my car was named after an animal.

Seems perfectly simple to me.

logically,
Bright

[jmowreader]

62. Yes. The one I have now.

"Tiguan" is, for reasons no one can explain, what they got when they combined the German words for "tiger" and "iguana."

This goes to show that Volkswagen encourages the use of LSD by its staff, since you would HAVE to be higher than a kite to come up with that.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

90. 🤪
