Do you remember your first car? What was it? How long did it take you to wreck it? Do you remember spots around Greene County where everyone used to drive to?

I totaled 9 cars in 3 years back in the day when I was wide open. Injuries? One broken eardrum from whacking the side of my head against the driver's window during a multiple roll. Even that never would have happened if would have had my cowboy hat on.
I had a 1979 Chevy brown chevette that we used to call the "sh**vette"
I had an 8 track converter and upgraded to a cassette :) We piled so many people in that car.
We used to drive ALL OVER Greene county but mainly down Gibson road and McMann Access......any gravel road, really :)
I wrecked that car 3 times....(put it in the ditch on several snowy nights) and I remember we were on some random gravel road and I hit the turn signal so hard it broke off and we had to put it back in with a wad of bubble yum gum!
A 1969 Toyota Corolla. I remember walking home from places all over Greene County. McMahon Access, Perkin's Pond, Squirrell Hollow, etc. I remember waking up at 6AM surrounded on all four sides by 7' tall corn. Shorty Tassler loved towing me out of that patch.
I remember buying that car from you after you had mothballed it. I had to pay Donny Ott to get it out of red title and then drove it for like three more years.

I had a 66 Buick Electra that I bought from my Mom. Later I sold it to another local yokel. Rick Bland, I think it was.

'64 Ford Galaxy, white with blue interior, 3-speed on the column, could hold 8 people comfortably, drove like a tank
My folks sold it Brian Coyne when I went to college and he drove it until the transmission fell out
