The very first car I owned was a White 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback, bought and paid for with my own money. I was 17 years old and was working at the Telephone Company. After buying shoes, purses and clothes, I saved almost every cent I made. That was many many years ago and I have a terrible memory so bare with me. But the way I remember it: my dad and Maxine went to the Ford Dealership and looked at cars and then came back and said they found two...can't remember what the other one was but anyway I picked the Mustang. I don't have a scanner but I am going to try to take a picture of a picture and post it. Oh did I mention that I didn't have my drivers license when I bought it and didn't get my license until about 3 months later. My car payments were $88. a month for 3 years, I think.
We traded that Mustang in for a Chev Station Wagon in 1973.
Then we bought a Honda Civic, Ford Tempo, a Mazda, a Saturn, another Saturn in Baltimore, Md because we wrecked the first one running over a medium trying to get gas on the way to my 2nd cousins wedding. Because we needed a big trunk for the many trips we planned on taking over the next several years we bought a Dodge Intrepid which I still have just sitting in the yard.
My current car is a Honda CRV. I couldn't decide between the Honda Accord or the CRV, and after driving both, I just liked the way the CRV felt and drove. I also rode in the back seat of both and the CRV was the winner hands down. It doesn't have the power of the Intrepid but I sure like the feel of being up higher. I can slide out of the seats rather than pulling and sometimes crawling out of the lower Intrepid.

Interestiong Tid-Bit: First Car--- Ford Mustang----$2,000.
Last Car----Honda CRV--$27,500.
What a difference time makes in the cost of a car.
Because of the many trips we made touring the US and with no car problems I think, I would have to say the Intrepid is my fovorite. I have many wonderful memories of places and people I met while driving this car.
Can't judge the CRV yet as I haven't had it long enough to fairly judge it.
