13. I learned to drive in a '71 Torino.

It was the family station wagon. In spite of the weight, the 351 Cleveland gave it decent pickup.
It was big enough to carry stuff and, if it rained too much on camping trips, it could sleep two with back seat folded flat. That's what started my preference for wagons.

My first car, that was all mine, was a Chevy Caprice wagon that I bought from my cousin. Ahh...396... MPG = 9...(closer to 6 if there was good music on the radio.)

A friend had a 318 Newport. The best thing about that car was there was room under hood to get in and stand on the ground to do a tune up.

Thanks for this.
