My first was a 1956 Volkswagen, ten years old when I got it for $300. In 1971 I was on my way to Vietnam with no place to store it, so I sold it. Regretted it ever since.

Now I drive a 2002 Chrysler minivan. How much do I love it? I hope I die before it does.

Me, too! My first car was a 1972 VW Beetle (bright yellow). It was $1900.00 brand new! Gas was 18 cents a gallon, and I could fill up for $2.00 or less! Wish I still had that car!
