Was going through some old photos, and came across a couple good car-related ones. The first one is me at age 14, learning how to drive in my uncle’s Jeep Scrambler.

And the second is my first car, two years later: a 1979 VW Scirocco. It eventually succumbed to rust, but man, what a fun car to drive. It absolutely set the stage for my favorite type of car: small, lithe, and simple. (Sorry for the blurry pic, it’s literally a photo of a Polaroid.)

I’d just about kill to have either or both of these cars today...
