Who has driven the oldest car to SDC?
« on: June 23, 2010, 06:26:40 PM »
Not counting when we was all kids, only as adults. I always seem to find some ol'school car in the park'n lot when i get to the park.

Just 2 years ago i drove a 86 Mazda 626 4-cyl with no overdrive in it from Kansas City to SDC. Prob'ly had 170,000 miles on it. Also drove a 70s Dodge Aspen slant 6 cyl, ( grandma green ) down there, back in the early to mid 90s. No air in any of'm either.

Anyone else?

I guess it would have been a 1973 Plymouth Fury lll.  Or in other words an aircraft carrier.

Yeah, but those cars weren't as old when you drove 'em there way back then.  Mine was an '84 Ford Tempo to pitch some ideas to one of the execs, but it was a while ago.

When I first started to work there in '76, I drove a '63 Nova 4-door.  Then I moved up to a '73 Nova SS.
