i've always been a 'driver' in terms of just hopping in the ride and heading nowhere in particular....chip off the old block as my father came from the days of the family weekend car ride (from hell when u're a kid
)
first started when i got my first car at 18 and got insured...i went driving just because moms never told me i couldn't...in a p.o.s 78 honda accord cvcc with vw designed 2spd semi auto
(ooooh, ahhhhh) one day i lost a cover off the tranny and soon after 1st gear went out leaving me to launch from a stop in second gear only (and took away my shifting fun
)
then i had a 83 stanza which turned into a rabbit gti that i totalled while drunk and an 87 gti 16v that just broke and fell apart all around me but was a blast when it ran....graduated to a 91 passat 2.0 16v and it died of bent valves from a timing belt....
then i had the taurusaurus for 5 yrs....which is now a 95 contour se
of all the cars the contour is overall the best from top to bottom....the accord being so light and on good tires thanks to dad was the best handling in many respects...the gti's turned the most heads with the 16v being the one i challenged mustang gt's and iroc z's just to be a pest...i'd put that car against anything
the taurus was reworked so much that it was actually relatively fast but the contour is the best overall and reminds me so much of the vdubs in feel...
what was the topic??? oh **** sorry....yes im a driver...all those cars i put important miles on but also many many miles of just driving for the shear fun of the car....all the cars were fun in some respect and the taurus was damn near bionic with all the 'mods' it had
