Congratulations hiking dude!!! That was a great run of guesses, I knew with the clues that someone would get this one!!! Email me your address and I'll send the coin right out to you. There were a lot of good guesses, and I actually did own a few of the other vehicles that people listed...

 

The car was my mothers old car, she had given it to my brother and then it was passed to me. By the time I got the car it was pretty beat up. The brakes were shot, the engine was way out of tune and it had two bald tires. I had to spend some time, money and quite a bit of time with a repair manual before I coule even drive it. I got some laughs from some of my friends for driving a wagon, but when they realized that I had a car and they didn't the laughing suddenly died out and I was their best friend again.

It was a great car to own during High School. On the weekends it was especially fun, we'd pile a bunch of people into the car and head out. It was especially fun with my High School sweetheart, as it was the most comfortable car to take to the drive-in theater (I miss the old drive-ins). It had the rear facing flip up seat in the very back, we would back it in at the drive-in and drop open the back door with the seat flipped up we had a completely unobstructed view! Also a great car for camping because all our equipment would fit into it and you always had a place to stretch out in case the weather turned on you...

Thanks for the cointest. This was the 1st time I have ever tried doing one of these. Was shocked to see I had won when I got to my computer this evening.

Thanks,

Congrats Hiking Dude! AND Thanks for the cointest JohnMac56!

 

It was a blast. I had my hubby on the phone while he was at work & all the guys he works with were throwing in guesses too. I imagine they are all waiting to hear the results from hubby tonight. ;)

Thank you so much for the coin! It is very nice! Also was hit by a geosnowball, makes sense with the snow coming down right now.

Thanks again for the cointest and for the coin!
