Most of the cars I had before I graduated college were embarressing, but heck, this was the late 70's and early 80's; there were a lot of people driving around in shitty cars back then. My first car was a big bad 1974 four door maroon Buick LeSabre that my Dad got for me to drive to my Purdue Cal classes. It was a tank and I liked it because it *RULED* on the Borman. When I got behind a slow poke in the left lane, they usually moved over. When that car died (oil...huh?), my dad got me a 1976 dull gray Toyota Corona wagon. It was my first stick shift and my first compact. I loved it, even if I did lose all my muscle on the highway.
