My faithful riding companion for the last five years
I am in the market for a different car. My trusty Taurus is approaching the ten-year-old mark and I am thinking something a little newer might be in order. I spent part of today looking at cars and thinking back to my very first automobile – a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass that I first drove in 1988, during my junior year of high school. I grew to love that car over the course of about eight years of daily driving, and sometimes still wish I had it back.
So, that got me wondering – would you be willing to vote in a quick poll about the age of your first car? If so, click the question:

No matter how uncool your first car is, it’s the car that holds the most memories.

You are so right. A close runner-up for me, though, is the old Mustang I bought while on vacation in Colorado my senior year of high school.

Yep, I think so too. No big engine or loud muffler. No jacked up rear end like the cool kids. No fancy tape deck. I can’t even remember if it had electric windows, but I don’t think so. But man, I loved driving it. I remember one night when I was leaving QAT in Soldier, a couple that drove to work together backed out into me while I was waiting for my grandmother to get in. That was one BAD memory I had in it. Good times, mostly, though.
