First Cars

We were talking recently about first cars. My first car was a 1961 VW Beetle. It was like this one except for the white paint on the doors. (clickable photo)



I bought the car from my Aunt & Uncle for $200 and had to learn to drive a stick for it.


The only other car I've purchased on my own was my 1990 Miata.


I had 10 good years with my Miata and it still looked great when I traded it in for my current car (another convertible!)







I leave in the morning for my guild's annual beach retreat. We'll spend the weekend sewing and socializing. I'll be back on Monday.
