86. I don't drive anymore, but when I did
That was about all I owned. Cars that when you came to a stop light you had to throw into neutral keep one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. Cars that would die unexpectedly in the worst places like in the middle of a busy intersection while making a left turn, and wouldn't start again until the choke was propped open either with a screwdriver or ball point pen top.
I've drove rolling toolboxes, in fact right now my back porch is housing all the tools I used to have to make sure I didn't leave home without.
I'm a genius at repairing cars made in 1977 down, these new ones though I just look at and say well there's an engine there somewhere.
These days I'm glad I gave up driving, it's amazing how much money goes into keeping junk on the road.
