Not surprisingly, I took a lot of car pictures. These were new cars I bought after I started working at GM. I was with the Chevrolet Motor Division, so all but one of my cars was a new Chevrolet. As I looked at these pictures, I realized that I was living the RADwood life before RADwood was a thing. RADwood is a celebration of automotive culture from 1980 through 1999, which I previously explored in the related article below.

How It Started
I wish I could say I have a picture of all of my cars, but I missed the first two: a 1981 Chevrolet Citation and a 1985 Chevrolet S-10 pickup. The Citation was a college car that I bought after selling my 1979 Camaro Z28 (what a letdown!), but the S-10 was the first vehicle I bought after joining Chevrolet.
The S-10 was Apple Red with bucket seats and a manual transmission. I had a ball in that truck, and it came in handy as I moved from apartment to apartment before I got married. Regrettably, I could not find any pictures of that truck.
Great read Bill! Awesome pics!
Thank you, Glenn. Some of the best memories come from our former cars.
