Long time listeners know that GamerDude has always loved driving, and cars, and this week, he's talking about his love for cars again. He talks about how his dad used to monitor gas prices when he was a kid, which is probably why he remembers what gas cost back in the 1970s. That focus on a car-related essential is probably one of the factors that led to GamerDude's love for cars. He talks about his first car, a Volkswagen bug, and the Plymouth Fury he replaced it with. He talks about trying to learn to do body work, and how he discovered that he wasn't really good at it. Mechanical stuff he could do; body work - not so much.
GamerDude also talks about the Rockford Firebird he bought, and why he liked it better than the "Screaming Eagle" Trans-Am. He also talks about trading it in for his first new car - a Mitsubishi Cordia. He talks about his preference for manual transmissions versus automatics, and how heart-breaking it was when someone ran a red light and totalled his Cordia.
