Wondering what my first car was? 1974 Mercury Comet. This article talks about my second car.

My parents recently moved and came across an envelope of old pictures. This was one of them.

My second car was this 1967 Ford Galaxie 500, with a generous 390HP engine. This was way too much power for how young and inexperienced I was.

I learned the hard way and crashed it the first day I had it. I was with a friend from high school. I if course was issued several tickets.

As I reflect on this now it still seems ridiculous that i was issued a ticket for destruction of public property.

Sure I ended up in the front yard of someone’s house and skipped over the sidewalk. But really it was just some yard work.

Looking for my third car? Well that would have been a 1987 Chevy Cavalier.
