[Michael Larosa Jr]

alas, we are cut from the same cloth Roger :)


Before I got "Responsiable" aka married....  It was common for me to a
own a different car every year... we are not talking cool cars, just 
something different!  I love almost all cars, just that kinda guy, it 
kills me to drive something for more than a year....

Lets see the list is something like this....

73 Plymouth Satelite Sebring, 2 door coupe
74 Plymouth Duster, couldn't be killed with that slant 6, believe me I tried!
70 Monte Carlo, grandma's car, 56k, 350/350
72 Monte Carlo SS, 350, parts car for the above :)
	
Moved out of the house....

74 Vega Wagon, 4 speed
66 VW bus, 4 speed, actually fun to drive :)
66 F85 4 door, 6 cyl, 
76 Chevette

Got a good job.....

84 Mustang GT, 302, 5 speed(new), I loved that car...
72 Monte Carlo classic, auto on the floor, buckets, power everything,
	beautiful car, my toy...

Got engaged...

74 Chyrsler Newport, 56k, another grandma car, 440, buried that 120 speedo
	with ease :)
