My car has been where?!

[Mike1357]

Here's the story.

My grandparents bought my CB7 new back in 91 in the states. They lived in Germany at the time since my grandfather was in the Navy. When they bought it the Navy went ahead and shipped the car over to Berlin for them. According to them it's been on the autobahn a few times and was a great cruiser. I just so happens that while they were living there the Wall came down and they lived not so far away from it. Somewhere on or in my car there is still dust from the Berlin wall.

When I found out this little piece of history concerning my car I thought it was kind of cool that my car has experienced the autobahn at least once, not to mention that it's been driven through a few other European countries. I wonder if they still have the EU plate garnish hiding in the attic somewhere?

Anyone else have a cool or strange car history?

Mine was originally in Prince Edward Island, Canada. She traveled quite the distance to northern BC. She then spent most of her time going on highways, in the snow, and muck and as a result caught a case of DIRT IN EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE syndrome. She is being treated as we speak in my garage. Im her third owner, also the youngest, and i think the owner that babied her the most. She might have not been on any mighty roads, but she too has gone the distance

Mine was owned by a college chick who drove it to Oklahoma and back. It also sat in an airport parking lot for 12 days. I know this becasue i found the receipt for her flight plan under my backseat.

Otherwise, no.

I was waiting for a "story behind your CB" thread

Mine was owned by a college professor. It was then his son's car. When I got it and replaced the sending unit I found a condom wrapper, and a card with some faded picture of a girl on it. I lol'd. Mine has no interesting history to it, nor did my black 92. The price of owning a family car...families are generally boring.

The berlin wall!?!?!?? that's awesome man.

I'm pretty sure the guy who sold me my car was crazy, but I still like to tell the story he told me about my car.

Evidently the owner of Hushpuppies Shoe Co. (or something like that) wanted to buy his mom a high end car with all the options. So he passes over the Mercedes, BMW, etc. and gets his mom a 1993 Accord SE, brand new with all the bells and wistles (except fog lights...bastard). Even had a car phone installed and everything

TLDR: Hushpuppies owner's mom's car

Mine has never left the state of TN. Prior to me, it had never left Nashville.
