I always thought I had a big change when I sold my 89 Cutlass Supreme to buy my Honda. But, then I realized my sister in law's first car was a 1992 Toyota Tercel... 4 speed (yes they didn't make those in 5 speed) with no power steering, no a/c, no stereo which she sold this year and got her '03 RSX-S.

So anyone else got stories like this.

 

In HS I had to walk to school. My dad read too many Calvin and Hobbes and called it 'building character'.
