First Post

Blogging was never something I thought I would do. It always seemed a little pretentious to think that just because I put down some random thoughts on a subject that anyone would ever read it or want to. My wife has been blogging for a few years, mostly about our daughter and recently about her peanut allergy. It was interesting to see a network like this, so here I am.

I like cars, I have always like them. When I was a child I would look back at cars headlights at night and be able to tell what make and model the car was. It was easy. As I grew older I found that I was retaining more information about them like the engines, or price, or options etc etc.

First my car history (some of these were given to me, some weren't, but I had each for at least a year of my driving life) in order:

1976 VW Bus automatic w/ac
1982 Mazda 626
1977 Pontiac Astra (not sure on year)
1990 Chevy Caprice (ex police car)
1989 Toyota Camry
1996 VW Jetta wolfsburg ed.
1987 Chevy Suburban 3/4 ton
1977 Dodge Colt (rally car for scca)
1987 VW GTI (rally car #2)
2004 VW R32 - current
2006 Volvo XC70 - current

It's almost time for a new car by the looks of it..

Well that's enough for now. Not sure where I'll go from here, but its good to know where I've been.
