Lazy-hazy days of summer??

Ah... Yes! The CB days. My super-de-dooper cruise vehicle of the day!



'He' (all my cars were male - not sure why...) was called 'Hernandez da Vega'. 1974 vintage, 40 watt stereo, 6 speakers, cassette deck, Lucas quartz headlights, and of course a top quality CB radio WITH monster antenna sprouting out of the center of the roof (all the better for long distance reception). Managed to pull in Jamaica one night on a long distance 'skip'. Loved that car, but it rotted out in 3 years. I believe it was a secret plot from Chevrolet to build cars with recycled cardboard that looked like steel. Went through a succession of Sciroccos after that that were also rust kings... **sigh**...
Mind you, look what I was riding at the time!



Gawd! Who would DO that to a perfectly good CB400F??? I guess I needed the baggage stuff... I was riding it 100 miles round trip daily to work and then using it for 500 mile trips on the weekend. **sigh** again... (Before marriage)...
