Not to quibble, but I believe it was the Catalina 2+2. I think this era of Pontiac (61-64) were the best looking ever. Notto mention the Safari Wagons.... ... View more

Great Story. My 914 story: I traded a 72 Vega Wagon for a 72 914/4 in 1975. I was getting a divorce and the other guy was getting married. His future father in law was the lending officer who financed the boot on the sale. When I made the first payment, I asked the bank teller out. She hemmed and hawed about "Having something to do that night". But her father helped her out, driving neighbor Bessie to see her husband in the hospital. She was living at home and I think her parents were worried about having and old maid on their hands. He was at the kitchen table cleaning a shotgun when I called for Cindy. (staged) We just passed 42 years......do wish I still had the 914. ... View more

When I was growing up in CamdenNJ in the 60s, there was a guy who used to show up at the park where we hung out (Dudley Grange, if anyone is familiar). He had a 49 or 50 Sedanette with later Cad engine with 2x4 BBL carbs. Front bumper was removed. He ran in D/Gas at ATCO. It was unusual. OOOO, OOOO, OOO Growin Up...... ... View more

One of my fraternity brothers had a Bugeye sprite circa 1969. The side doors of WHAT WAS the DU house at Marietta College were wide enough to have four guys pick up the Sprite and place it in the dining room. With all the tables and chairs removed for the Saturday night party (think Toga party from Animal House), the Bugeye was right at home driving around until Ma Steadman (housemother) came out of her apartment........ ...

My niece Erin just scored a used Subaru Forester with a six speed. We were told that while she was signing the papers, two other people showed up to look at it. Welcome to the cult, Erry........Subies and Manny Trannies...... ... View more

I bought a 2011 2Dr Golf to commute in. (30 mi each way) The gas savings over the Firehawk half way paid for it. Smoothest shifting 5 spd I ever drove and very comfortable seats. ... View more

I am on my fourth Outback, (2019) Premium w 3.6. THey were giving great deals on them. Originally bought the 2003 (#1) because it had a 5 spd, I do miss that but since I am 70, I have to consider old age. Our two boys learned to drive a stick, good life skill.... When its time for a new car, the big question is what color Outback. Also had a 2006 WRX in the mix, most fun per dollar. Sadly sold the WRX to buy a Dodge Caravan when my wife got into showing dogs. Buying a Subie is like joining a cult, and I am in, though I dont think the Onyx is for me. Yeah, I still have the Firehawk. ... View more
