(Before I got too big for it.)<br /><br />I haven't done a cross-country drive since the '80s. Or flown in a plane, come to that. I have nothing against air travel. I just like to drive.

I used to sit in that back storage area and listen to the funky music they would play...yeah, safe, I know. hehe<br /><br />Now Darling Diva who is only 12 going on 40 wants a bug for her 16th!

You couldn't pay me to get on a commercial airplane for a whole lot of reasons, and driving cross country is a lot less safe than it used to be... <br /><br />But here's to the good ole days of being able to traverse the country and experience the wonders. <br /><br />Yeah, a friend of ours bought a Beetle... we had a good time stuffing a bunch of us in with our dogs, and going to the summer park obedience training classes.

That would have been early to mid-80s until Dad died in 1996. I'd rather have a home base and take extensive road trips. Like George Carlin, I need a place for my stuff.<br /><br />The first car I bought with my own money was a 1973 VW Beetle. I couldn't even drive it because it was stick. Now I'm uncomfortable driving automatic. It's nice to know I can drive either in case of emergency.Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-67207393495495109312013-01-12T15:57:46.943-06:002013-01-12T15:57:46.943-06:00I had a silver barracuda... think it was a 64... a...I had a silver barracuda... think it was a 64... and that was the best car ever!!! Talk about fast... <br /><br />Yeah, long ago, my sis and I talked about traveling the country once we retired... but things have changed way too much. It ain't the good ole days of road trips anymore. <br /><br />But, good for your mom and dad, Pat. I bet they had a real good time overall. That was America as it should be, as far as traveling freely about the country.

Touring, writing and spending time with my small family...perfection.<br /><br />However, I really would need to find success to cover my gas expense!<br /><br />My first car was a 68 Mustang. Not great for travel, but faboo for hauling ass. Man did I have fun in that baby! :DSerena Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959664736807639363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-27719173460602594832013-01-12T12:43:36.159-06:002013-01-12T12:43:36.159-06:00My parents had the life.

In the winter they joined the rest of the old folks in Arizona or Florida. I got to stay home, hold down a job, provide an address for voting purposes and handle their mail.<br /><br />I won't be buying a '67 Impala for my roadtripping. I'm a VW fan. Though I did learn to drive on a '64 Impala.Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-52031423224190160652013-01-11T13:55:20.925-06:002013-01-11T13:55:20.925-06:00Ah Pat, may you find success with all your pen nam...Ah Pat, may you find success with all your pen names so we can find you sunning yourself on the beach! :D<br /><br />I too would seek out decent healthcare and a vehicle that got fabulous gas mileage so I could become the snow bird I should be!!

Right now, the country is going down the sinkhole by design of the bankster gangster crew. <br /><br />Likely health insurance won't help you in the long run. The medical system is in the crapper, and who knows if the company will pay out, anyway? Doctors are leaving en masse. The insurance companies could decide to go bankrupt at any time. And if the death panel decides you're too old, or whatever, your insurance won't matter. All that happened, is they just got your money. <br /><br />Sorry, but the world is no longer what it was. Not to mention, the banks can't be trusted. There's no point in keeping anything of value in them. Only enough to pay bills. <br /><br />Sorry again. Plus, they want to get the taxes up to 80 percent... so, say goodbye to any real amount of monies. Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.com
