I'm on my 50th go around. My first ride was in a '42 Packard limousine, a car my dad bought just before I was born. He still owns it.

I've gotten more speeding tickets in my life than I could ever count (almost all while on the freeway, I tend not to speed in town). The most memorable one was the first, when I was 16 driving a 1942 Lincoln Continental with an Andy Granatelli V8 installation. My mother still owns that car.

I currently own a 50,000-mile 1940 Packard 1808 touring sedan with factory air, a car I remember staring at when I was very, very young. It was in a small museum in Brooten, Minnesota.
