    What cars did your parents schlep you around in as a kid?

    This really dates me, I guess. When I was about 3 years old (1953), I fell off the right running board of my dads 1936 Packard. From then we went to Studebakers. My dad always wanted a Golden Hawk, but never got one..

    Long lived Yamaha

    First, I'd like to thank the forum administrator for letting me become a member. I'm the proud owner of a 1985 Yamaha Vmax motorcycle. As of today, it's got 134,200 miles on the odometer. ( actually the odo READS 34,200 - the 100,000 mile digit doesn't show on the analog odometer.) I thank...
