Looks like there might be a spot opening up at the end of the line—-maybe I will start my own blog after all…

Mike, great story and rememberences, too. I was stuck with my parents’ cars until I went away…man, was it hard being cool in a ford falcon stationwagon. “Shade tree mechanic”–wow, it’s been years since I heard THAT.
Robert, I have a feeling this might be your best one , ever, and let’s talk MIke into getting his own blog.

Mike,
the story very strongly reminds me of the car me and my – at that time boyfriend – had in the 70ies, when we were students at Tübingen University. It was an old 2 Cheveaux (means: 2 horses), a French car, where you could roll back the top and put lots of things in it. The heating was out of order, so when driving in wintertime you had to cover yourself with blankets. The water came in, when it rained, and when you drove over bumps in the street the car went up and down. But we loved it. For us it was a symbol of freedom and easygoing.
