Almost My First Car, the jerk who sold it to me (see on right, owner of the pizza place in Whitewater) Stripped it down, after I paid for it and played dumb. It went straight to scrap.

My Real First Car "Dauntless Alexander" - Mini Cooper S

(yes you can fit a drum set in the Mini)


Fiat 124 wagon almost new May 1970

After two and 1/2 years and 74,000 miles. Wagon became garden utility pickup.

1973 Mazda RX3 Wagon replaced the Fiat

Phoned a dealer in IL, asked for a "green" wagon, took the train down and wrote the check, drove home.

Mom's Old Rambler Wagon

VW Thing

Engine seized on the Rambler right before the first Hodag Invitational

(yes you can fit a drum set in there)

Wed. "quick get a car" car became my regular driver for years

Grabbed it off the lot at Concours un-preped because I needed it fast!

Chevy Malibu Wagon

Sold it and got the Voyager... Nice car. Many camping trips and road rallies. Note license plates. Dropped that one to save money.

Dodge Minivan

The family van, the Matatu, the camper, (back seat out) band mover, everyone goes everywhere vehicle. And it was a good one.

I had it for sale when the timing belt slipped. Lucky for me someone wanted to have a nice clean mini-van to work on and rebuild the motor. Hope it worked out for him.

The Brown Volarie was replaced by the Blue Wagon, this is what I was driving after the divorce.

These are roughly $150 cars. Wow, I loved that slant-six

Traded a Honda Hobbit moped, Antique International Harvestor F-16 tractor, Chevy Pick-up, and cash for the first Wagovan.

Honda on the left was replaced by the one on the right, after torsion rod snapped from mounts. Same fate for second Wagovan.

Basically your $2000 car.

(you guessed, I carried a five piece set, mic. stand, monitor and more in these)

Little red wagon, $600 Mercury "Christine" (yes, from the movie)

Threw a rod, through the oil pan in the IL tollway.. Messy!

This 1980 Olds was a gift while searching for...

Yet another Honda but an Accord, with Sun roof, and AC that worked! "Marge"

Motor Home... (kind of?) 1993 Vandura - sold, got the Little Guy

Nice little camper, light, dry, loved it! Yes can pull this with the Honda. Only 660 curb weight. Sold July 2013

Marge turns 250K July 18th, 2012
