a best purchase ever made

A Sports Car –

A friend when I was young let me drive his sports car. I had to wait until I was 70 to get my first one. A BRZ. Loved it so much I gave it to my son and bought another one. My sports car days lasted eight years when I found it was too hard to get in and out of.

a technology I miss the most

A Manual Transmission –

A sports car. Too old to get in and out of it. For eight years it was our only car. My wife and daughter could drive it. Loved shifting those gears. Had an old car that I could shift without using the clutch. Loved those winding roads.

A Story Behind It – 

A grandchild gave me my nickname. I took care of her while her mother worked. It was the first year of her life and one of the best years of mine. I made her mother, my daughter, pay. It was enough to buy my first sports car. Loved that car and my nickname. 25
