Getting to Know You
I love getting these question emails, even though they seem like junk mail to a lot of people. I don't know why. I guess I like learning a lot about my friends and family. Still, I only sent one to most of my address book recently, so instead of doing that again so soon, I figured I'd post my answers here!
Welcome to the new edition of getting to know your friends and relatives. Okay here's what you're supposed to do. Just copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste into a new e-mail that you can send. Change all of the answers so that they apply to you.

45. HOW MANY CARS HAVE YOU HAD & WHAT WAS THE FIRST CAR THAT YOU HAD? I have lost count! My first husband used to sell them as soon as I got used to driving whatever car he'd just bought me, but off the top of my head I can remember seven from that time period. I know there were more. My second husband used to get rid of them as soon as the MOT ran out because without MOT you can't get insurance, but there were at least four. I've had two cars since I've been with Simon, both of which we still have. Grand total: minimum of 13.
My first car was a red 1972 Dodge Dart.

I seem to remember an email very similar to this one. I was just about to say I can't remember who sent it to me, but that wouldn't be true. I do remember. 'Tis someone who went to the same high school in England as I did, but graduated in a different year. Leslie was her name. I then forwarded it one to several friends from FA. I loved all the responses I got back.
The first car I remember my parents owning was a 1966 red Dodge Dart. My father raced the thing at the local dragstrip. Won every race he was in, too.
I like reading people's responses too, only not many people enjoy filling them out like I do. LOL
I loved that Dodge! I bought it used (obviously since I was only 5 in 1972) in 1986, and it was in immaculate condition.
The first car I remember my parents having was a VW Beetle, which probably would have been somewhere around 1972. LOL
