How long?

I've owned my Barracuda (my first car) since April of 1974. When I bought it my Mom already had a 65 Barracuda, bought somewhere around 66 or 67, that had replaced her 62(?) Valiant. Her Barracuda stayed in the family until 1978 when my sister used it as a trade-in on a new Fiat X1/9 (which my Mom now has garaged with less than 80 K on it). My Mom's current daily driver is a 99 Intrepid that she bought new. I can also barely remember that my Dad at one time drove a 57 or 58 Plymouth. Big tail fins & two-tone, I think red & white. I remember him running out of gas once on vacation & having to hitch hike into town get some. I had to be pre-school age at the time. I'm 50 now.
The first new car my wife & I bought was a 95 Plymouth Neon, which was replaced by a new 2000 Grand Caravan (4 kids to haul around) that we still have.
