My first car was a 1966 Volkswagen Beetle.  My first fan belt cost me $750!!  ouch!  I learned to pull over when the Generator light goes on!!

...i was lucky. Town i grew up in had an awesome (council run) bus service and was smack dab in the middle of the train system. Once i sat down with a car driving friend and we worked out how much our seperate travel arrangements had cost us over a year.......turned out i was around 300 quid up.....and that was a lot in those days.

I learned to parallel park it and have been able to parallel park anything since.  Learning to drive in a big car teaches a lot.


I was the opposite. I failed my test the first time because I couldnt parallel park my huge Impala. I went back a week later in my Grampa's car (A nova) and passed. Whew.

To this day I do not parallel park- I nose it in.

Yes! It was either than or a chevy El Camino..........it's been so long I forgot. Plus, it was such a piece of shit I only had it for a few months. I think it sat in the driveway longer than I drove the thing.

Trust me........given the person that had it before me.........the sweetest piece of machinery in the world would have been shit by the time I got it. It was free if that tells you anything.

The thing was a total piece of crap, but hey, it got from point a to point b for long enough for me to save up more than $300 to get a better one.  Just barely.  LOL  On the way to go pick up the newer car (84 bmw 318i, the damned thing was my favorite car EVER), the honda died in a puff of smoke and very loud CLUNK!, as it blew a piston through the engine block...  Oh well, good enough.  At that point, the honda was a good uh...  20+ years old.  Poor thing.

"Defense Secretary Dick Cheney killed the A-12 shortly after the inspector general of the Navy reported that cost overruns on the program had exceeded $1 billion (EN, Dec. 17, 1990). Several Navy officers were forced to retire as a result."

He did it in such a clumsy manner that it's still being litigated.

And it wasn't under Clinton.

Compliments of BNET.
