I've been digging through the paper archives to find some of the cars I owned BDC (before digital cameras). So far, I've found this one:

Audit Fox (Audi 80 to the rest of the world), I believe it's a 73 but not sure. This is the first car I paid more than $999 for. If I remember correctly I paid $1,100 for it in 1979.

This was a fun car, and my first "nice" car. Sadly I lost it when I hit a stop light (yes, a stop light) in Richmond, VA. Someone pulled out in front of me, I swerved to miss them, spun the car 180 degrees and hit a free-standing stop light on the driver's side. I hit it hard enough that the light broke off and was hanging in the driver's window.

The A pillar was destroyed, total loss, and of course, no collision insurance. The driver that drove me off the road was nowhere to be found.
