Sounds like some good times!  I know the areas well, too.  One of things I miss 
about the older cars is they had less crap in them that can and will break. 
These days cars are made to be disposable so they force people to keep buying 
more.  I like buying once and keeping forever.  I become attached to the cars, 
so I guess you could say I'm a hoarder.. :)
