Anyway, I’m sorry about losing David. It’s just a shame that he could no longer go camping with you. All the best to your other road buddies!<br /><br /><a href="http://bobdunnhyundai.livejournal.com/1239.html" rel="nofollow">Rhonda Burgess @ Bob Dunn Hyundai</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287623334893983522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448983254191618156.post-50046181250661037232013-12-22T14:56:04.672-05:002013-12-22T14:56:04.672-05:00We now have two Toyotas -- a 2003 Prius bought in ...We now have two Toyotas -- a 2003 Prius bought in December 2002 and a 2007 Prius.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448983254191618156.post-37406592659278890162013-11-11T12:43:29.715-05:002013-11-11T12:43:29.715-05:00I haven't known anyone who doesn't treat t...I haven't known anyone who doesn't treat their first cars preciously. With our first cars, we experience a lot of "firsts" too. The long list starts from being a first-time car owner, down to a lot of first fun adventures and first places you reached while driving it. It's sad that you had to part with your first car. By the way, what type of car are you driving now? Did you stick with a VW or have you fallen in-love with a different one? <br /><a href="http://www.spartantoyota.com/" rel="nofollow">Arlyne @ Spartan Toyota Scion</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385343454016167576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448983254191618156.post-33202850673855628002013-11-08T09:10:46.126-05:002013-11-08T09:10:46.126-05:00Like you, I adored my first car, a Borgward statio...Like you, I adored my first car, a Borgward station wagon, a lot like a VW squareback, except the shift was on the column. I worked for a lawyer while in college, and the Borgward belonged to one of his clients, who was moving to Australia to work as a hand carver at a museum. I got the car and whatever was left in the house for $100. There was a place in Revere, Massachusetts, that worked on Borgwards; he advertised in newspapers all over the US to get parts, including the driver's side window he put in mine.Pam Beveridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272409581983333836noreply@blogger.com
