I can still remember what my very first car was and I know people don’t forget those sorts of things. I traded a 4 wheeler to my brother-in-law for a 1979 Toyota pickup truck. That little truck ran great and I never did have any problems with it. It had well over 100,000 miles on it when I first got it, so the car insurance was really cheap. I sometimes wonder who has that little Toyota truck now and if it’s still running. I kept it for a year or two and eventually traded it in on a 1987 Jeep Wrangler. It was a big upgrade for me at the time and there was nothing like those first few days with my brand new Jeep.

Now the new Jeep I got wasn’t really new just new to me. It was in the early 1990′s when I got it and I did have a few problems with my Jeep Wrangler. I had lots of electrical problems with that Jeep and I think they were problems from the previous owner that had it. The thing I liked best about the Jeep was taking the top off and going cruising. There isn’t anything better than a Jeep with no top and riding down the highway. I put a lot of miles on that Jeep and for the most part it held up pretty good. Years later I would get a much nicer Jeep and I was able to create a lot of those old memories I had with my new Jeep. I don’t think too many people forget their first car or the 2nd one either.
