Plymouth, VW, Volvo, Honda, Chrysler, Dodge, Toyota, Jeep, Mazda. We liked the Mazda RX7 so much we had two of them. We like the Jeep so much we've had three, and still have one. There is only one other car we've liked so much that we had three of them; the VW Bus.
1966,
1972,
and 1978 versions. The 1978 one was a pop-up camper van.
(None of these are my photos. They're just photos I grabbed from the internet, but that's how each one looked. Even that charming shade of green!) None of the engines ever lasted more than 50,000 miles, and we drove that much every two years, but engines could be replaced with rebuilt ones for a few hundred dollars.
Now however, there is something new on the horizon. The electric VW Bus!

Horsepower and traction to spare, and a 300-mile range. Coming to a dealer and road near you in 2022. Judy and I may need to get out some spray paint and flower stencils!
