My first car was a '64 Catalina Ventura, 4 door hardtop. 389 ... but no six pack - only the 2bbl! Automatic, too. I wish I'd kept the notebook I found in the glove compartment when I got it - the previous owners had kept a gas log. It'd be good for a chuckle now.

It's been a long path through many vehicles in the last 20 years, but I came full circle and returned to Pontiac with my current ride, the Firefly (CDN market Metro clone). Pretty much its polar opposite, too!
Here's a few shots of the old girl:

I'm a bit of a photography buff.

As far as what I'd like to tow, I'd say 4,000 lbs. max. Eventually, the above car is going to be track duty only so I'd be hauling a 2600 lb car, whatever the trailer weighs and tools/parts. Nothing elaborate, just a single axle trailer. Someone really needs to produce a decent mid-sized truck with a diesel for the U.S. market. I've got a really good source of cooking oil already lined up.
