2006 Was A Long Time Ago
2006 Showing myself next to an Acura NSX Obsessed with cars, I wrote for 2 years doing home-made car reviews. While it was fun, the tedious nature of going into car dealerships and convincing them to let me drive a new vehicle off the lot was getting old. Not many dealerships wanted to have a local drive and put wear and tear on their costly new cars and trucks. It sucked. I even had a photographer (Ray) back then. The car above was spotted on the street, and I never test drove it. And then I realized it was two decades ago . Twenty years. I was 36 Goddamn years old in the above shot. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Where has time gone? Great question indeed. I drove this wonderful piece of crap 2003 Chevy Cavalier. It was as bad as you think it was. Near the end of it, in 2007, the horn stopped working, it rattled, squeaked, and made awful groans when you applied the throttle. That amazing Ecotec engine kept running, though. Just awful GM quality in everything but the drivetrain...
