My first cool car was a 1962 Thunderbird coupe. It was black with a black and red interior. I bought it because my grandfather had a turquoise 1961 and I was in love with that car... I sold it for a bunch of stupid reasons, none of them good.
A few years later after I had joined the navy, I bought a white 1987 944 I drove for a couple years. I got caught in a nasty snowstorm and lost control, and totaled it in slow motion sliding sideways down a mountain.
I replaced it with a black 1993 968 coupe. I sold it a few years later to help get together the down payment for my house.
Last year my grandfather sold the original cool car that started it all, his turquoise metallic and white 1961 Thunderbird coupé.
