My second car was a '74 Buick Skylark (I think it was '74) that was a manual transmission that at one point got STUCK in reverse, and then later would NOT go in reverse. Ahh, such fond memories.

That is too funny, Teri!!:lol: :lol:

I got my first car when I was a little older, when I was 22. It was a beige Ford Escort. I was so happy to have my own car, it gave me a sense of freedom I never had before. The car was nothing special although it did have a tape player and air conditioning. It was a demo car and a lemon because I didn't have it very long and I had to get the head gasket replaced on it. Even back then, that was around $1000!! Needless to say, I didn't have it for long 'cause I would have ended up putting more money into it then it was worth!:P
