That was the most driving we ever did and we loved most of it except when we had a deadline to keep such as a ferry boat to Copenhagen from Germany. The driving was slow that day. We also camped in that station wagon so that we were able to stay on our budget of $15 a day.<br />Those were the days, my friend.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-10944488106063117702015-02-19T13:18:44.035+01:002015-02-19T13:18:44.035+01:00It's so much more pleasant to drive for pleasu...It's so much more pleasant to drive for pleasure. I have a 35 minute commute, and I don't mind it, as long as traffic is moving. When it's not, it's so unpleasant. Once, when we were having snow, and we lived a little further away, the drive home became a very tedious and slow and nerve-wracking hour and a half, and I was FRIED when I got home. It was just too much.Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-37833355356135602952015-02-19T13:01:03.274+01:002015-02-19T13:01:03.274+01:00I drive about 8,000 miles per year, the majority o...I drive about 8,000 miles per year, the majority of those getting out of DC. I made a list recently I have owned 15 cars over the past 30 years. Half of those in the first 10 years, then there was my new Honda Accord period in the early 90's.

Cars are on my mind because we're having timing belt and water pump done on the Peugeot tomorrow. And that Ford was a '66 Fairlane. Spell-checker doesn't pick up those kinds of errors. I changed the post. <a href="https://americanmusclecar.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/1966-fairlane-500-289.jpg" rel="nofollow">The Fairlane looked like this</a>, if I remember correctly.
