My very first car was a 1959 Rambler Station Wagon. I got it in 1968. It was green and previously owned by a tv repair service and on the driver's side door was painted the words Duck's TV Repair with a duck as their logo. In high school it was known as "The DuckMobile".




I'm going to take it a step further. I drove the "DuckMobile" until I had actually lost the push button for reverse. I used a Popsicle stick in it's place. Loved that car. But it finally gave in to the wear and tear and in 69 I became the proud owner of a 1967 red Dodge Charger (black interior) with a 383 -4 barrel.

Blown head gaskets is what ended my time with the screaming chicken, I'm sure got more mileage and fun out the drum set!

My first car is sitting beside the Lexus



1992 Chevrolet Cavalier VL (Stands for "Value Leader" haha) Auto and AC, got it back in 2006, last time I drove it was about 20 minutes ago lol. Just fixed a small coolant leak and tire leak the other day and was rewarded with a new exhaust leak and a clunking rear end due to smacking a bad pothole I may actually part with it come spring time we will see...

Wow I would say that the Lexus is a slight upgrade! No middle ground there just one extreme to another.

Got a 90 after that and after that moved on to other cars.
That was in 98-99. I missed that car so much, that in 2008 I got me another one, near mint condition. Still have it and will probably never part with it.

I always loved fast luxury cars, which are more suitable for real every day life.

I find threads like these very interesting. I always wonder what sort of people drive these LS460s.

Pictures of Then and Now.
I use to steal this car at night from my sisters garage she is 15 years older than me when I was a teen thought it was the most advanced and best looking car for that time period enjoy!
