My dad had a 1970 green Chevy Camaro that he loved so much. After he passed away, it basically sat in the garage collecting dust. My mom eventually got it fully restored and it became mine when I got my license in HS. It never died on me and it never gave me problems!!
These days people think it's cool to have souped up "rice rockets"...

I have my Honda now, but I still take "Lucy" out once in a while. She really brings back great memories of my dad.
