45 years young...my current drive is a 86 Syncro Westy.

First family car was a 63 VW Beetle...the horsehair seat smell and father's
sockets spread across the driveway melded me into a future enthusiast.

Previous dates...77 Westy and 79 Bay.

I have danced with the tow truck driver with all three of my girls.
