One Saturday my Dad, my little sister, and I took the car out for an hour test drive. Because believe it or not, I had saved enough money from my paper route to put a down payment on a car. And with my earnings from Safeway my Dad got me qualified for a car note. The hour drive was on vacant highways and was glorious. The car was smooth, powerful, and fun to drive with room in the back for little sister. But I ultimately passed on the car for an Austin-Healey 3000 for $600. Wish I had them both.
