My very first car was a 1963 Mercury Comet 4 door which I bought  for $200 in 1982. Had some great times with that car taking my buddies to the drive-in theatre (The Lithia Drive-in). Can still remember seeing the triple feature of SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, DRILLER KILLER, and FINAL EXAM in that car!)






I only had the Comet for about a year (the heater didn't work, and that made winter driving rather chilly!) and then traded it in for a monstermobile, a tuquoise blue 1975 AMC Matador 4 door which was as big as a house. I drove the AMC for a couple of years until it conked out in the parking lot of a Toyota dealership where I ended up buying my first brand new car.
