Just for fun...what cars did your family have when you were still in elementary? In high school?

I remember being driven to school in the mid 70s in an old owner type jeep with no gas gauge...our driver had to dip a pipe in the tank under the seat to see how much gas was in the tank.

Later on my dad bought a '78 two door Toyota Corolla SR, with a twin carb 3K 1.1 engine and factory airconditioning (this was a big deal at the time). This was followed by an '81 Toyota Corolla GL with a 4K (1.3?) engine, and a unique (at the time) 5 speed manual. No A/C though. For a time we used a '83 Mitsubishi Galant GL (it wasn't ours, we just used it). I can't remember the specs, only that it was big, dark green, had no A/C nor radio.

In '83 my dad bought a 1.3L Ford Laser Hatchback which I ended up inheriting about ten years later and got me all the way to college. In '84 he got a 1.8L Ford Telstar GL. It was a nice car when it was new. But at the time I wanted him to get the TX5 Liftback version with the digital instrument panel.

My older brothers got by with a Beetle and a Ford Escort.

After that times became hard and it would be in the middle of 90s before my dad would buy another new car again.

How about you guys? Any memories?
