I "inherited" a 1963 Mercury Meteor from my grandfather. This isn't mine, but it looked just like it:




Then I bought a 1980 beige Toyota Tercel. It had a 5 speed and handled reasonably well, but it was slow. Again, this isn't mine.



What I really wanted - 1959 Porsche Convertible D.



It was actually British Racing Green and it wasn't as nice as the one in the photo. Of course the seller was only asking $1800 for it. My Dad told me I couldn't park it in the yard while I restored it, so I had to pass. He also told me that I wouldn't have gone to college if I bought it. I tell him the car would be worth $150,000 today.
