My high schooler got out the box of family photos and has spent the last couple days going through it. This would have been taken in 1989 or 1990, when I was in grad school and my fiancée was in her last year of undergrad at JMU (that’s our dorm in the back). The car was an 88 Fox GL wagon (4-speed), which my dad bought for me and then I paid him back over the next couple of years. I loved that car. I fit everything I owned into it for my move to Houston for grad school. Kept it for 13 years, put 175k miles on it, then replaced it with a 2001 Golf, which I put 215k miles on before a drunk totaled it. I miss that car just as much.
Looking through all those old photos, I had forgotten how skinny we all used to be.....
