Fun read, Matt. I just recently bought a 1989 Toyota van with four-wheel drive. I haven't really loved a car like this in a long time. The last couple that I have had are modern affairs that lock when you leave them and get great mileage and have no performance issues, where is this one has almost 300,000 mi on it and requires me to be constantly thinking of it while I drive. It reminds me of my very first car, a 1972 Volkswagen bus that my dad had bought new from the lot. I don't have any pictures of that one.
Fun read. I wish I had pics of all my cars. First was a 1967 Dodge 440 Magnum monster machine. Then came a string of 1963-1967 Corvettes. And a bunch of others including a hopped-up Jeep CJ that could do wheelies all day long. Fun stuff.
Really fun to read. Makes me think back yo my cars… first one being an AMC Hornet for $300.00. After living in Lake Tahoe for 7 months upon graduating college, I was broke and needed transportation to get to work. It did the trick- but was a real clunker. I was happy to have a car!
Impressive portfolio of cars past! Had an S2000 for 4 wonderful years. Would love a Miata, but looking like 3-row SUVs are in my future before I ever get another me-car.

Love the "life story in cars". You should read my friend Melissa Stephenson's memoir Driven. It's a similar angle and a great read.
Love this.
