A friend and I were discussing our first cars and whether we would drive them today... or even want them back today in pristine condition...
My first was a Mercury Capri 2600, "the sexy european at a shamefully low price",bright yellow with a black roof...,manual trans,loved the map light on the passenger side,good for dates as I recall...
Yes I think I could find a place in the garage for a pristine Mercury Capri and I would not be bothered to drive it today...probably good fuel economy,but since I owned it in 1974 I can not recall....I have not forgotten how to use the map light...
How about other first time vehicles,any regrets with the passing of time on not keeping a few...or glad their gone,
I was young and stupid...???
A car that got away from me was a Mercury Cougar Eliminater convertible, candy apple red,white top,351 Cleveland motor,
sequential tail lights...ah but that was car #3 on the ownership list!
