Ahem... You drove a 'vette in high school!?!? Is that when Ms. Chuck fell for you?

No, even with a vette she would not have talked too me in High School. As a point the vette would have just made it worse. I was all about cars, football, and cheerleaders. Well, she would have looked at that as "three strikes, your out" type of thing.

Hmmmm... She didn't end up duct-taped to a flagpole at one point, did she???

I didn't know Ms Chuck then, however she would have been a prime candidate.

With this post we give away our ages. :)


I drove a 1982 Datsun 210 Sport until I went babysitting one night and returned to find a Cadillac in our driveway. My Dad had sold my car to use the money to put down a payment towards a new Cadillac for himself.

1965 Ford F-100 pick-up truck (in the mid 1970's.) It was quite hideous, faded to pink, three speed manual, the smallest 6 cylander that Ford made. It was followed by a series of Oldsmobiles, a VW Rabbit Diesel, LeCar, a couple of Toypta Corrolas, a Civic, a Mazda wagon, three Accords (all new and all bought within a four year period of time,) a Saturn, and soon to be followed by a ?????? (I think a Cadillac that is part of an estate, several years old with only 11,000 miles on it)

Favorite car, probably WH's little tyrant mobile.

Hey Meritt,
Just for the record, I was not...NOT 16 in 1953. I was asked to leave High School...ok, graduated in 1982. Which was prior to Ms. Woodchuck matriculation

(woodchuck says that QUITE LOUDLY so to be sure I hear....)

Imperial Hamster Coach? Bah ha ha.

Dude, those are all so much cooler than my Chevy Cavalier that I drove to high school.

It was blue and sounded like a tin can when you slammed...I mean shut the door.

Come to think of it, I don't mean to be telling horror stories here, but one time I had a friend who had a woodchuck living under the hood of his car...I can't remember if the little guy was OK, but I think he did get injured somehow.

I really need to lay off the hard drugs...my mind is growing feeble.

I got the bus to school.

I got my first car (used, from my brother) when I was in my early 30's. It got stolen from outside our flat soon after. I got my second car (used, from Someone's brother) a few years later. We crashed it soon after.

We hire cars now.

Wild cow and Druish Deities

I have been blessed with being able to drive some of the most unbelievable roads ever paved. Last week I found myself on HWY 108 in Central California. 130 Miles 26% grade 9624 at the summit 4 hours to drive this route This photo is looking west just down from the summit. I could live here with the wild cows. A lone wild cow at the 9000 foot level just making sure that nobody is speeding along.

Madison, WI.

The whole theme today was a Woodchuck and his ale. I found a nice little place in downtown Madison, WI. called the Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company. This was one of the best IPAs I've had east of the Rockies. Fun little place to go and the food was not to bad either. Traveling the Globe...ok, just the North American continent in search of the perfect pint on IPA. Hops, they are not just for breakfast anymore.
