First Car
September 30, 2008 | Raleigh, North Carolina | Vetting explained
Posted by:
I bought my first car while I was still in the Army in 1969 after returning from Vietnam. I thought about a new Ford Bronco but then was swayed towards a Chevy Nove SS, an AMC AMX or a MGB GT. As it turned out though, since I was looking towards college, I decided on a used car instead and wound up with my 1966 MGB. I had to have a friend drive it back to base because I couldn't drive a manual gearbox. 'Quickly learned though. I owned it until 1989, first in NJ then in NY and, finally, in Maine. I'd give a lot to still have it but our new car now is a 'smart' and a great and timely car in it's own right.
