Look, Ma, No Hands!

Just like most every red-blooded American, cars have played an important role in my life, from the time I first sat on my dad's lap and shifted gears in his Triumph TR-7 to when I got my first car, a 1983 Chevy Cavalier. I'll never forget when I got my first pedal car, which my dad had custom made with an "ignition" in it. I got handed a blue key on a keychain that had a red "J" for Jason on it, stuck it in the switch and turned, expecting to hear the roar of an engine. Alas, the car did not start, but the memory is indelibly etched into my mind. I remember buying my first red sports car, a 1998 Dodge Avenger that I absolutely loved. Unfortunately, it met its demise in 2005 thanks to some black ice.
