My first was a 68 Dart GT with 273 V8 and a posi rear. I never legally registered it but I did take it out just a few times before I got my license. Then I had a 74 Valiant with the 225 slant 6, I think it was. I totaled it one day driving home from HS. I totaled a lot of cars back then (early 1980s). Actually the first car I totaled was a 1973 Chevy Vega, being chased by the police (not very fast) in a snowstorm when I was in 8th grade, 1978 or 79 I guess it would have been. Supposedly I was home babysitting my younger siblings. Dad was a little mad that night.
Speaking of "Buy anything cool lately?", I expect to take delivery tomorrow of a new set of Lionel Legacy PA diesels. The New Haven line in classic black and red! This is a replacement for the pair of the same supposedly "delivered" to me 2 weeks ago by FedEx. Their "proof of delivery" is the driver's note "left at garage." I don't have a garage and, at the moment, neither do I yet have that pair of New Haven PA diesels. In an email today, Lionel assured me this set arriving tomorrow is the very last set they have in stock. I hope they got the full $999.99 from FedEx on the "lost" set that is probably under the driver's Christmas tree right now....
