RDJ’s Car Brand History:
First sports car: 1975 Alpha Romeo Sport - on loan for a night from a friend’s older brother
Dullest sports car: 1999 Saturn SC2 - a manual transmission wasn’t even an option!
Most fun sports car: 1973 Porsche 914 - we were “wild things” together, during a summer of fun
Most reliable car: 1989 Acura Integra - it kept going and going and going…
Most surprising car: 1993 Ford Aspire - inherited from my Mother. It will be a real car one day… it will!
Most tank-like car: 1992 Ford Aerostar - what a bus!
Most predictably cranky car: 2003 City Golf - with much coaxing, it got us around South Africa in 2005/2006
Luckiest car: 1977 Pinto - despite being the model with the fuel system problem, it did NOT explode!
Noisiest car: 1960 VW Beetle - the original “old” Beetle.
Ugliest car: 1976 Ford LTD Wagon - a vehicle that should never be painted powder blue.
