I asked which of the burgundy vans he was talking about and he said, "You know, the one with the bullet holes." What?? Turns out he was talking about the RUST holes!! We got a kick out of imagining our (ordinary) family careening through a hail of machine gun fire (there were a lot of rust holes!) :)jemhhttp://jhmusicschool.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778879751757296582.post-18791958339636720882011-12-11T09:40:32.824-06:002011-12-11T09:40:32.824-06:00Congrats on the new van!

My second was pretty exciting...a Pontiac 1000 (think Chevette) that was an old ladies car that just got driven to the grocery basically. The only downside was it only an AM radio...so a couple months after my parents got it for me my dad put in a new stereo!! Unfortunately, my dad did something wrong and on my first drive after the new stereo....it caught fire and the entire car burnt to the ground! <br /><br />We lived in the country, so finding a house close to the road, without a dog, that could hear me yelling to call 911 took a bit...the car was gone by the time a fire truck got out there.<br /><br />Then I got to use my dad's Yugo...do you even know what that was? LOL A disposable car...really cool. NOT!<br /><br />Then the 1980-something Camero that looked cool....but backfired so bad that every time I took off from a red light it sounded like fires were being shot. <br /><br />The Ford Ranger that was hauled home by AAA more than it actually drove home.<br /><br />Hmmm, I'm sure there were others, but those were my biggest dumps for sure. :).https://www.blogger.com/profile/00227925128508137750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778879751757296582.post-75314826774070578782011-12-08T08:08:06.615-06:002011-12-08T08:08:06.615-06:00Oh, and the above comment was my official first co...Oh, and the above comment was my official first comment to you.

My husband and I have been together for 10 years and have had 6 vehicles, so I can totally relate!<br />My parents rule growing up was that us girls (me and my 3 sisters) needed to learn how to drive a standard, before we were allowed to get our license. Not PA laws, but daddy laws. His reasoning behind it was that God forbid there was ever an emergency and the only vehicle around was a standard, his girls were going to be ok. I'm so glad that he did, becuse it's what I prefer to drive. Only 2 out of our 6 vehicles were automatic, and if I could have had my grand cherokees is standards I def. would. You'll get more comfortable with it. I've been driving them for 13 years now. I get a little high every time I get in the hubbys 5 speed alero, still to this day!<br />And besides... girls that can drive standards are hot =) Haha, hopefully that made you smile.<br />Congrats on your new purchase =) It's awesome that you two pay cash for what you have.Hi I'm Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516662983917357273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778879751757296582.post-35641327900839466012011-12-07T22:13:29.488-06:002011-12-07T22:13:29.488-06:00OMG!

I bought it in 1996 and sold it in 2003 to two of three members of the Australian (but Austin-based) band The Green Cards. They were super-excited that the AC, moon roof, and tape player all worked. (I can't imagine what they were driving before....)Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327080164247768031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778879751757296582.post-70780189104961543862011-12-07T14:37:26.749-06:002011-12-07T14:37:26.749-06:00Whoa! you have had a lot of cars! congrats on the ...Whoa! you have had a lot of cars! congrats on the van, they are so great once you have kids :)SkinnyMeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606660046717315661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778879751757296582.post-61611850281345325522011-12-07T11:46:34.452-06:002011-12-07T11:46:34.452-06:00Congrats on the new van.
