the cars in my life

I was watching a report earlier this evening on Lamborghini, the factory and the car.  They are beautiful cars with a great sound but I can't imagine paying 4 hundred thousand to 4 million for one (even supposing I had that kind of money to throw around, which I don't).  But, in thinking about it I realized that I do like distinctive looking cars.  Most of the cars I've owned over the years, while not expensive, and often bought used, have had a distinctive look for their time.  I practiced driving on my husband's Studebaker - no power steering, drove like truck, but very distinctive looking.  I owned a Corvair, mentioned in an earlier blog, then, with my husband, a VW bus, a Toyota mini van, a VW square back, a Toyota Corrola, a Ford Taurus station wagon, a Contour, and currently, a 2004 Buick Rendezvous.  I've probably missed a few along the way but you get the idea.  I bet, if you close your eyes you can picture every one of the cars I've listed.
I should also give honorable mention to the 1957 baby blue and white Chevy that I dated in college.  Yummy, and the guy wasn't bad either.
