The O'Connells Auto Memorial
This is a page dedicated to the vehicles that Laura and I have owned both before and after we were married.
1974 Chevy Nova, 250 V6
My first car. I loved this car, but I hated the four doors.
1981 Mustang
This car was a piece of junk, but my friends and I had fun in this
one.
1977 KZ900, Kawasaki
Great bike. this was my 2nd bike. The custom paint job
included 4 different colors.
1988 Ford Ranger, 2.9 Liter, 4X4, 3 inch lift, 31 inch tires
We didn't realize how much we liked this truck till it was long gone.
1986 Oldsmobile Cutlas Ceria, 2.5 litter(Weak)
This was Laura's college car. She loved it and I hated it. We
were very happy that it was paid for and we didn't have to worry about
another car payment. This car road nice as long as you wern't in a hurry.
1982 Goldwing, 1100cc.
We liked this bike but it didn't have the intercom and some other accessories
that the new did.
Laura slept very well on this bike, almost as well as she sleeps on
the new one.
1990 Ford Bronco, 351w V8 (Power)
This is still my truck, I don't ever get anything new.
It has been repainted and has a rebuilt motor.
125,000 miles and still going strong. I have had this for about 5 years
now.
1990 Honda Goldwing, 1500cc
I still have this bike, just more proof that I don't ever get anything
new.
had this bike for 5 years now.
1996 Ford ThunderBird, 4.6 liter V8
Laura's car, she wouldn't let me drive it. Great car, we will
own another sports car again. It was just too much fun. Had to sell
it, we moved and needed another 4X4.
1987 VS700 Suzuki Intruder
Laura's first bike. Alot of fun, but just too small for the long
haul.
1995 Chevy Blazer, 4.3 liter V6
This is Laura's current vehicle. It is not as much fun as the
"Bird" but it is a little more practicle in South Dakota. I don't
get to drive this either.
1994 Honda VT1100 Shadow
Laura's current motorcycle. We just got this, but it is alot
of fun. She lets me ride this one only when it is conveinent for
her. Then I have to go ride my OLD bike.
