Fantastic vehicle journey. I grew into up in Louisiana and lived all over — north, south, east and west. Where you located?I drove a series of ugly cars over the years:
1. My first was a '79 El Camino, it broke down 3 times in the first two months so we sold that
2. I got a 76 Chevy like that one but mine was school bus yellow. My dad told me years later that he bought that one because he wanted everyone to see me coming so they would move out of the way.
3. Then I had the Rangers brother the Mazda B-Series Pickup that I got for graduation
4. My dad needed a truck for work as his work truck broke down, I then drove the family mini van for a year, a 97 Aerostar in this weird red color
5. I traded the Aerostar in for a 2001 Chevy Cavalier which I drove for 9 years, 5 of which without air conditioning, in Louisiana, the summers were miserable but I didn't have the $2000 it would cost to fix it.
6. I instead saved that money up and bought my first new car that was purchased by me, a 2011 Nissan Versa SL HB , I loved my little car and put nearly 200k miles over the nearly 12 years I owned it.
7. Now I have my coolest vehicle, the 2022 Ford Maverick XLT AWD in Alto Blue, I'm very happy with my purchase and this is the first vehicle I've owned that is exactly what I wanted. I purchased the versa but it was more the best car I could get with the little money I had.
