The short list of cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles. This list is just some of
the vehicles that I have owned over the years. I have left out what my
memory won’t recall. Often these were the memories I’d rather forget,
usually Chrysler products. Now the real test is to see if you can list the cars I
wish I still had. Bruce.
