Where were you in 1974?
I was still in high-school, driving my 1970 convertible bug.

As I recall, I was vacationing in Spokane, Washington... I spent most of
my time drunk off my ass, but I do remember this one fun night when me
and a couple of my friends spotted a 65 VW hippy bus sitting in the dark
of the night, and we decided to hotwire it and take it out for a
joyride....

Nah, in 74 I was wetting my diapers and eating sand.
I'd been out of high school a year and was driving a hand-me-down from my
father (and Oldsmobile F-85). I'd buy my first VW, a 1964 bug, a year
later.

I was driving a yellow deuce coupe in Visalia and taking on all comers.

P.S.
It is an urban legend that I was killed in a head-on collision with a
drunk driver on a rural road on New Year's Eve 1965. That actually
happened to some wannabe named John Miller. The Toad sends his regards.
And 35 years from now, we'll be right back where we started. :P

Two years out of college and driving my first car, a 1964 Beetle with
