What was the first car you owned?
A ’95 Ford Escort. It got me out of the house, and it always broke down, so it taught me about cars. ~Rob Giordano, Nelsonville
A red ’70 Karmann Ghia. It was pretty, stick shift, fun, cool. I changed the oil and plugs. ~Pat Kennedy, Cold Spring
A ’74 Mustang. It was ugly — brown with a tan roof — but it was my car! ~Pat McElduff, Beacon
