My recent post about a couple of cars my parents owned in the 1970's prompted a comment from my wife about doing a post on her parents series of Volkswagen Beetles they drove in the late 1960's and into the 1970's. This comment created a new idea about doing a series of stories on cars from our past.
A couple of years ago my wife also had the great idea of doing a book for my dad for Christmas with a list of his top 15 favorite cars. We dug through pictures in my parents and grandparents photo albums and found enough pictures for a coffee table book AND a calendar for my dad. We uploaded everything to Shutterfly and ordered them for Christmas. He loved it and still keeps them on the coffee table!
These series of posts will deal with cars that hold memories in our lives. A car is like another family member at times, or a companion, a place that we feel like we live, or to some it is just a mode of transportation. No one can deny, however, that the cars that we buy and we drive provide memories of places, people, events, and more. Cars take us to work, back home, on road trips, on vacation, help us move, visit friends and family, run errands, and other exciting adventures.
Now, if you haven't paid attention to your car lately - get out there and wash it!
