As a kid, I used to wonder why Batman couldn't resist Catwoman. I no longer wonder why. My goodness.
You're a rare woman Catwoman, you're on time. LOL!!!! So true!!!
You're a beautiful woman Catwoman but not that beautiful.
You being all lovey dovey - now there's an old expression.
Loved it!!!
I had no idea that this was a real player in the NHL (former). Hilarious.
I taught with a girl like that years ago. The boys lined up to take her class, and of course, didn’t score very well which led to her leaving the profession because admin wanted her to give the kids better grades.
My 1st car was a '74 Gremlin, yellow with an orange stripe, if anything even UGLIER that that POS. Had about 80k when I got it. In 79, about 5 years after its manufacture, I rested my forearm on the driver's side fender while replacing the battery, and it collapsed, totally compromised by rust. Patched it with metal window screen, riveted in place in the still- somewhat study metal on the edges of the hole, covered by the goopy, fiberglass body repair stuff. Bondo, maybe?If you know you know
Ran the crap out of it for the next year or so, moved to Findlay,Ohio for my first job, then in late 1980, bought my first new car: a 1980 Renault Le Car!
Your post generated both fond memories and PTSD simultaneously!
That is a heck of a list of first cars. A 74 Gremlin and an 80 Renault Le Car. Something needs to be said about your decision making back in the day.
My first few cars:
- My first car was a push-button automatic 62 Plymouth Valiant. It was more bondo than metal. I wrecked it and couldn't find a radiator for it but I paid less than $100 for it so that was OK.
- My next car was a 69 Mercury Cougar. Probably the worst car I've ever owned but it had great power and looked awesome
- I then bought a Datsun B210. My first Jap car and it was a pleasure. It only had a 1200 cc engine but I could pack all of my college stuff (including my Bose 501 speakers) and get to college. I'd have to downshift to second gear to get up some of the mountains on I79 but that was OK. When I got my first job in NE Ohio, the truckers used to try and run me off the road.
- So I bought an American and got a Buick Skylark K car. GMs first response to the Jap wave. It was OK but the problem was the oil filter was behind the right front wheel. I had to take the wheel off to change the oil. The first time, it was on so tight, I had to get it towed and a guy with heavy equipment had to rip out the original equipment oil filter.
- So I went back to the Japs and bought a tenth-anniversary Toyota Celica. This is in the top three cars I've owned. It had a 40 watt per channel stereo and an analog equalizer in the dash. My coworkers used to laugh that it was the only car that had to downshift when I turned up the radio.
- Then I bought a Saab 900S which was my first intro to euro engineering and it was a great car.....loved it.
- Since then it has been a ride: BMW 528, MB E class, Porche 911S, Mazda Miata, Chrysler Pacifica, Ranger Rover (2), Jeep Wrangler...with the exception of the Couger, they've all been good for what I paid.
My Gremlin was a car where I had no choice. Got it from my dad cause he was was sick of it. The Le Car came about because I was working a job where I traveled 75% of the time--most of it overseas travel. I needed a new car but had very little money and a huge aversion to debt. I want to say it cost me like $3500-4 grand brand new, but of course the 81s had come out by the time the dealer lowered the price to my range.That is a heck of a list of first cars.

I took that LeCar when I transferred with the same company to West Texas in 1982. It served me very well. Did a lot of my own maintenance in those days. It had NO AC, so thank God I had a company car, lol. Bought my dream vehicle in TX, a 68 Chevy Pickup with a straight 6 250 c.i. motor. 3 on the tree. When I quit my job to go to law school in 1984, I drove from Midland to Morgantown in the truck, TOWING the Le Car, with all my stuff piled on the truck bed and in the car. Not one issue with any of it. Drove the LeCar until 1986, when a bought an 86 Nissan 2wd Pickup. The Le Car probably had close to 100k on it. No big problems, ever. Brakes? Oil? Tuneups? yeah. but no tranny or motor or even clutch issues.
What all of that taught me is, vehicles are a waste of money. I could certainly afford much better cars than I have bought over the years, but my daily driver today is a 98 Tacoma with 155,000 on it. IDGAF.
I had a coworker who owned a push button automatic Rambler that was a total POS. This was in Connecticut where they had a personal property tax on cars. IIRC the tax was ~ $150 so he decided to sell it for $75.That is a heck of a list of first cars. A 74 Gremlin and an 80 Renault Le Car.
