Remember when you rhoughr anybody wirh a cor was sophisticated? When you couldn ' t wait to have that official plastic card, nor realizing that once you had it, you wouldn ' t be able to talk your parents into using the family vehicle? Seems like a long rime ago, driving cars is a Federal hob¬ by, status symbol, and a means of escaping the Fort at lunch, despite George ' s valiant efforts to contain us Many own their own wheels, buying older models to add a touch of personal work to Jeff Kindred ' s ' 67 Ford, Dill Fredenburg ' s Gal¬ axy 500 XL, John Harms ' truck, Roger Vasi- las’ MG, and David Guthrie ' s llfordmobile are familiar sights. The Mustang ' s classic lines are ever-popular Dryan Davenport, John Howerton, Donnie Fawley, Jim Moore, Jay Atkinson, Peter Braun, and Thomas Cornbrooks own some of the famous, or, as the case may be, infamous ' stangs around Fort Hunt Others are more gas-conscious, preferring smaller economy cars Kim Barton ' s Sap poro, Andrew Rutledge ' s Horizon, Mr Da¬ vies ' Pinto and Andy Walker ' s Vega num¬ ber among the many. Volkswagons, owned by Jimbo Bailey, Nikki Kyriacou, Eric Lundberg, Beth Brennan, and Paul Ryder, are still popular Speaking of Paul, what was that red flash? Paul ' s truck, of course Or maybe it was Brian Davneporr ' s brown Ford. Or maybe even Alan Fonranella ' s. What better than a pickup for icy roads? Due to a lack of funds or initiative, many Feds are seen driving Daddy ' s car Some can ' t wait to get their hands on it, like Bill Fredenburg, whose father owns a turbo¬ charged Mustang. Others enjoy the plea¬ sure of the vehicle without the pain of main¬ tenance Of course, everybody drives Daddy ' s car once in a while, bur some students rake his generosity a bit too far Although cars are very popular, Rick Starr, Jim Chauncey, Russell Gray, and David McKnighr still prefer the free spirit of a mo¬ torcycle Says Jim, I like riding a bike be¬ cause I ' m more aware of what ' s going on around me. What would happen if all the cars disap¬ peared? Mass hysteria 111 How would we get to Mac ' s for lunch? How would we get to work? How would we find the parries? Most important of all: how would we go cruising? Collecting old cars is a hobby John Harms has been inreresred in for a while, here is one his restorations Kevin Collins proudly guards his Chevy wirh his life Mustangs seem to be the best kind of transportation for John Howerton and Donny Fawley Wheels 23
