    Default 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxy 500

    Paid $150 for it in 1975 and drove it for 70k, then sold it for $450 in 1981.
    Damn wish I still had it, there going for big bucks today.
    Ford changed it to "fastback" style half way through production, I think mainly for NASCAR aerodynamic's.
    Here's what they looked like in nice condition.

    Default 88' chrysler lebaron convertable, premium edition w/2.2 turbo............

    had it 3 months till i wrecked it.
    then i bought a 87' nissan sentra, learned how to drive clutch in it, put 120,000miles on it, taught the (now) wife how to drive in it, bought a 89 toyota camry, traded sentra in on our second 89' camry (yes we had 1 maroon & 1 blue toyota's at the same time), second toyota tranny died,
    then found my 87' 325e at a used car dealership & worked him from $1000 down to $400, 2 years later bought the 95' 540i/a & gave the first toyota camry to my father.

    my wife prefers the 325e 5sp manual over the auto, but i did not teach her how to drive the family 27' model "T" yet.
