First BIG purchase

CheriGENERAL

The year was 1979.  I was 20 years old and I had a little bit of money tucked away.  Enough to buy myself a car.  A used car.  And as fate would have it, my friend, Suzanne was selling her sporty car –which I had secretly admired for quite some time.  




I had never spent a thousand dollars on anything in my life.
All that saving and saving — gone… with a few words on a check.

But the FUN I had driving this 
1970 Pontiac Firebird
 priceless.

Sure, it only got 8 miles to the gallon.
But a gallon of gas only cost $0.86 !
