He traded the 68 for a van and he wrecked the 64 one night when a tree jumped out in front of him. He walked home 3/4 of a mile with broken nose bloody face and got a neighbor to help him get it out. They ended up calling a tow truck and when police showed up every thing was under control he didn't ask any questions. It was a simpler time back then. But I loved both of them cars. I was looking at a sweet restored Montego GT big block when I found my Monte, Glad I got the Monte and found this place 🤘This guy used to run the local track back in the day... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your mail this week.. Im gonna send you a tennis ball on a piece of string to hang from a joist over the back window 🤣 PS - I’ll remember to bring my Members Only jacket to Carlisle, you try to remember to bring your Geritol and walker 🤣😂 Its NOT a depth perception issue, but yea stuffing the suburban and the car requires a little width guidance 🤣 But I appreciate the offer. On a side note, its funny how many people were cautious passing me on the interstate in the old suburban 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I'm one of them that has the tennis ball on a string, I got tired of bumping into my tool box (yea a little tight in my garage) and yes it's because I have no depth perception. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I'll Try but I am old and surely won't remember them all: 1929 Model A Ford Tudor Sedan Purchased 1966 at age 15. I fully restored this car and I still own this Model A Ford 1929 Model A Ford Tudor Sedan Purchased 1966 as a parts car 1929 Model A Ford Tudor Sedan Purchased for parts. Took parts I wanted and replaced with parts from my first purchased one and then sold it to buy more parts. 1954 Studebaker Commander In 1966 (Wasn't really mine but a car given to my parents for my brother and I to drive. It got t-boned by a guy in a brand new Buick, while my brother was driving it to work. The Buick was totaled but my brother was able to continue on to work after the police left. 1959 VW Beetle This car was passed down to me and my younger sister to drive after our older sister eloped and moved out. I drove it up until the time I left for the US Air Force in November of 1968 1970 (First Year Of Monte) Desert Sand Chevrolet Monte Carlo. My first NEW Car. I sold it when the transmission started to slip around (the buyer knew about the tranny issues. I sold it to buy my next car. I needed a dependable vehicle to tow my Model A Ford from Jacksonville, FL to Pittsburgh. 1976 Olds Cutlass Supreme. I bought it used with a full warranty. We used it to tow the Model A Ford from Jacksonville to Pittsburgh... The transmission it the Cutlass went bad 10 miles from Pittsburgh but the warranty covered the repairs. 1980 Chevrolet (First Year ) Citation 6 Cyl High Output hatch back with rally wheels. (the most versatile car we ever owned. Way too much power and we loved that car. 1983 Cutlas Ciera Diesel. Bought it new when we traded in our Chevy Citation 1985 Chevrolet S-10 Trail Blazer Bought it new 1995 Chevrolet S-10 Trail Blazer 2005 Chevy Impala 2009 VW Jetta (In my name but it was Patsy's car) 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Crossover SUV 2017 GMC Terrain Denali Current Vehicle 2023 VW Jetta (in both of our names but it is Patsy's Car) From 1973 to when I retired I had many company cars in my name but they belonged to the company. There is no way I could remember all of them. Some of them are more memorable than others either for good reasons or bad reasons. 1974 AMC Ambassador was my first one and boy was it a POS. The day I picked it up I turned right out of the dealer parking lot, went about 1/4 mile and turned right again. My next turn was supposed to be a left turn but the car would not turn left, only straight or right turns. It did not last long because within 2 years it started to rust away to the point it would not pass state inspection. It was too late in the year to order another company car (They usually only ordered 4 door model cars but they had to see what was available on dealer lots and they came up with a Cutla1976 Cutlass S with a 350 4 brl and posi-rear end, it was a beast. My next one was a Pontiac 6000 followed by a 1982 Buick Skylark followed by a Ford Taurus (That car got hit in the middle of the night parked in front of our house. It was hit so hard it pushed it across the sidewalk and into our hedges. (when I got it back from being fixed we found I had an extra 4 inches in the trunk, front to back because the metal behind the back seat was pushed forward that much.. That was all of the cars I had and after that they switched to vans and I had too many of them to remember each of them. rob 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
