maggie, first cars have their share of internal demons. My gas pedal once got stuck driving downtown.

I’m jealous of your non-existent hospital record.

first car was a 79 fiat spider – convertible. At 18, that was definitely a fun car till it broke down, even though the steering was manual and it frequently died on uphill inclines, yikes! But you know, it also caught the eyes of a lot of the guys.

Ooooh, my first car was a red ‘69 beetle. I bought it for $800 from my future dead father-in-law.

I had a ‘69 VW bus (and a ‘71, too.) I miss them all mightily.

De, oooh the accidental f-bomb. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word when I didn’t mean it.

Bob, nice ride. Mine was a 69 complete with electrical gremlins. Dirt roads are just trouble.

oooh – my first car was a ‘74 beetle – a gold bug (a superbeetle with gold paint, gold rims, and a sunroof – w/california emissions)
my first wreck was in a ditch on a dirt road too (not in the beetle, though).

I had a big blue bike that must have been my sisters. The day I learned to ride it was spent crashing into the telephone pole at the bottom of the driveway and trying to turn around before the steep hill on our street took me away, rather like trying to avoid a waterfall as you float downstream without a paddle.

I remember getting in so much trouble for saying “Fuck” when my brother was pinning me down in the living room before dinner time (my mother didn’t hear, he ratted on me). But, I swear to this day, I was only starting to say “For Goodness Sake” and then decided that was too much for the amount of wind I had left and resorted to grunting, “ugh.”
