Shifting gears

This week we shifted gears from this 93 Buick Regal with 268,000 miles

 

 

to this 2004 Buick LaSabre with 51,000 miles.

 

 

We hope it goes places and takes us along for a long time. This is our 10th vehicle.

We went to CA with the 62 blue Pontiac that belonged to Marvin's Dad. Then we bought:

 

#1- 1963 black Ford (1965-1967-old police car- lemon)

#2- 1966 blue Chevy II  (1967-1973- good little car!)

#3- 1969 chocolate brown Chevelle station wagon (1973-1979 -served us well)

#4-  light brown Chevy station wagon (1979-1980 Wrecked)

#5- 1978 or 1979  blue Chevy Impala station wagon (1980-1988- wrecked)

#6- 1985 white Plymoth Voyager van - (1988-1993)

#7- 1987 Plymoth Voyager gray van (1993-2001)

#8-1995 Dodge Caravan blue van (2001- 2006)

#9-1993 blue Buick Regal sedan (2006-2013)

#10- 2004 gray Buick LaSabre (2013-

and maybe the last one we will ever need.  Guess that is up to our Commander-in-Chief
