Cars I’m Thankful For…
Everyone can rattle off a couple of cars that have significant memories. Your first car…your dream car…the car your wife crashed. I’m sure you have some.
Here’s a list of the cars, and their memories, for which I’m thankful for.
Datsun 200SX | My first ride; when I got in this car it made me feel like Jimmie Johnson hoisting his championship Nextel Cup. When getting out of it, I was just glad it got me to my destination in one piece.
Ford Squire Station Wagon | I grew up watching the Brady Bunch pile into this land yacht every day. I’m thankful my parents didn’t own one of these.
Lamborghini Countach | I believe this was a mandatory bedroom wall poster for any teenager in the 80’s. This was supposed to be my first car…then I found out the price. Hello Datsun.
Mercedes Benz 450/380SL | Riding in my Dad’s classic convertibles served as the impetus for my appreciation of all things automotive.
Mustang GT | This was the first car I bought. It was also my first car I had to sell once my son was born. Good thing I didn’t have to sell the Countach.
Bugatti Veyron | Another super-car dream crusher. This was supposed to be my next car…until I found out they priced it upwards of one million bucks. For that money, I could have had 10 Lambos.
Dodge Viper | The perfect Pre Mid-Life Crisis car. Used ‘96 -’98’s represent some of the best super-car values available today. Looks, performance and uniqueness…for less than half the price of competing cars in it’s class. Definitely time to park one of these in the driveway.
Lexus ES300 | The car my wife crashed…
Be thankful for the memories your cars provide…savor those on the horizon.
Happy Thanksgiving.
