The Remember game.....

[WA1KWA]

School brought in a TV set in my first grade classrom to watch Alan Shepard go up.

Bought a junk 235 Chev 6 for $5.00 when I was 10 so I could tear it apart. Guess that's why I like B series engines?

Matchbox cars in those little individial boxes.

Comparing every song on the radio to the Beatles.

Yes, Johnny Quest rules!

Yes, BMWs bought by enthusiasts. Everyon else wanted a Road Runner or Chevelle SS in High School. My dream was a BMW 2002tii.

I actually have an eight-track collection (and working player). There's therapy in there somewhere I fear.....

Remembering when the correct term WAS "Foriegn Car".

I can still smell the leather in my uncles A40 Somerset.

Driving my other uncles Hillman Minx.

Driving on my learner's permit, my friend's Rover 2000 TC.

Remember all those clear light bulbs at used-car lots?

And a 5 year old car was considered, well, old?
