My first car was a $500.00 very used Toyota Corolla. i got it with my tax return check when i didn't have to use it for food or rent. It didn't have reverse, (parked on a curb everywhere i went) and no 1st gear, the parking brake was iffy (brick behind the tire) It was primer gray.


Fast forward 25 years, i bought a 2009 Toyota Corolla. Traded in my fancy Jeep for it. i hated it. It was gray and ugly i thought, but i had to do the economical thing. i took it to Memphis the first weekend i had it. i felt completely in love with it. She was quiet, shifted so nicely, rode like a dream and no more 15 miles per gallon! We bonded. i took her cross country and up and down a mountain, even in the thick snow! Kim and i took her to Bandon on our femme weekend, the back end nearly scraping the ground packed with stuff. Kim did the driving, she is too bossy and i was enjoying not driving for a change.

i miss my Corolla sometimes but not having a car note and insurance payments is heavenly, So is driving the Syr-mobile around.
