1. What is the oldest car you’ve ever driven?

Well, I suppose my mom's 1971 Toyota Corolla. That was sort of "my car" during high school after she got her Subaru in about '81.

2. What’s the oldest car you’ve ever driven that you actually owned yourself?

Heh. That wretched Monza we bought in '87--it was about 10 years old--because the '75 Pinto Beast had when we got married died.

3. Take the quiz: What Old-Fashioned Car Would You Most Like to Go for a Ride In?

You Are Steady

You value your own opinion over the opinions of others. You know when you're right. You trust your intuition. So far it has a good track record of not leading you astray. You prefer logical to emotional appeals. You like well structured arguments. You are very clean and tidy. You take pride in taking good care of your possessions.

The Old-Fashioned Car Test

Uhm, yeah. Not really very accurate. Ahem. lol

4. What type of vehicle would you most enjoy touring a city in: a rickshaw, a horse-drawn carriage, a sedan, a convertible or a limousine?

Depends on the city, I suppose, but generally I'm all for limos. If there are a lot of tall buildings, however, and if the weather was appropriate, a convertible sounds very practical.

5. What decade (i.e., the 1950s, 1970s, etc.) do you think created the most beautiful cars?

Any era prior to minivans gets an automatic vote. I dunno, maybe the 60s?

6. What decade do you think created the least beautiful cars?

I really do think we fell off the beauty scale completely between about 1975 and 1985. K-cars, and all those other square hideous things. Gah. "Boxy but good" (or in most cases, not so good).
