Journeying Through Steve's Car Collection

Some of the rides that got me from there to here...

This page is just for fun. Everyone needs a break from the monotony of work after all. Since all of my other sites are generally fun-filled and this is the only "all work - no play" site in my collection, I decided to have a little fun. Presenting... The virtual tour through my vehicle collection!

This is probably the car that started it for me. I was just three years old when I received this little toy from my folks. Just think... At the time it was a model of a relatively new car! Little did I know that one day I'd be cruising around in the real thing!

Here we go... I have somewhat of a fascination with older cars - not antiques of course - but just older, simpler vehicles. Driving a Classic 1967 Beetle is truly a lot of fun - unless it's in the middle of a Minnesota winter.

Eventually this first car was put out of commission when a drunk driver failed to notice I was stopped at a traffic signal.

Oh yes... The pickup truck. This li'l fella' was a real treat to drive. It was big and got about six miles per gallon - three miles on city streets. I guess it burned a certain amount of fuel per hour regardless of speed.

But wow. Could it ever handle payload!

The "Ford" days. Some people don't like Ford products. I have to admit that of all the cars I've owned I've had the least enjoyment from this one. It just did quirky things - like the headlight louvers wouldn't close properly. The dimmer switch hissed like a pressure-cooker. Not everything was bad about it though. It floated down the road nicely, and it was fast!

This one is at the opposite end of the food chain! Sure, it's a Honda - so you know it didn't have any mechanical problems and it sipped fuel like a lawn mower. But true-to-form it was a horribly uncomfortable car (I'm 6'-2") and was no fun at all to drive.

To prove this, I drove it to Oregon and back in 1988.

I still own this car, actually. Everything prior to this one is long gone. Or actually... just parked at my folks' place. Dad likes to tinker with things - he has the rusted-out Volkswagen and the Honda torn apart - he's rebuilding them in his spare time. I need a hobby like that!
