I Couldn’t Help Myself —Again THE LATEST ADDITION TO MY OLD CAR COLLECTION
WORD SEARCH
I love buying and fixing up old cars in my spare time. It’s not the cheapest hobby in the world, but, man, does buying those old cars bring back memories. A few years ago, I decided to buy a 1973 Opel GT. For those of you not familiar with that car, it looks kind of like a miniature corvette. I owned one back in 1973 when it was a brand-new model, and decided I wanted to own one again. So, I found one in Ohio, bought it, and fixed it up. It’s fun to drive but hard to get in and out of — especially when you get to my age! Back in July, I shared the story of how I bought my Volkswagen Thing. If you’re not familiar with what a Thing looks like, just imagine a square steel box painted bright yellow. That should give you a basic idea of its appearance. And, as different as it is from my Opel GT, it’s just as fun to drive. Sometimes I buy old cars just because they’re fun or because they remind me of my teenage years. Recently, however, I bought a car because it brought back fond memories with my family. The car I just bought is a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro LT. My dad bought it new for my sister’s 16th birthday. She’s owned it ever since, but about 10 years ago, she stopped driving it. It was just sitting in her garage gathering dust. My sister had said she would never sell the car, but, when I visited her recently, she seemed to have changed her mind. She was thinking of selling it. Now, we both had a personal attachment to that car. Our dad, who has long since passed away, had bought it, and we decided right then we wanted to keep it in the family. So, I bought it from her and fixed it up. Turns out, all it needed was some new tires, new exhaust, and a good tuneup to make it run like a champ. After all, it only had 22,800 miles on it! Every old car comes with a history, but the memories that come with the Camaro really make it something special.
