4. Awww! Me, too!

I had three friends in school who had Mustangs - but they weren't "vintage" back then, just an affordable older used car that students used to get around. But these days, when I see one on the road they get my attention!

And my first car was a 1971 Plymouth Duster! I inherited it from my mother when I learned to drive and needed to get to work. My mother got a new car every 10 years, so she passed the Duster on to me. I loved that car! And I'd still have it today if it didn't rust - a hazard of salt on the roads during New York winters - and wouldn't pass inspection. I tried getting it fixed, but I was told it would take too long and they preferred insurance work.
