A powder-blue, '66 Ford Falcon, when I was a teenager. We lived in the country so that you could just leave the keys under the floormat. (We never locked the doors of the house either.) I would drive it until it was on fumes and then leave it in the driveway until they gassed it back up.

The first car I ever owned by myself was a VW bug, circa 1970s, bright yellow. Its name was Max.

Poor Max died on the Autobahn. RIP.

My favorite car of all time was a VW Rabbit diesel named DangerBunny after an indie band.

"I once had a car
That was more like a home
I lived in it, loved in it
Polished its chrome
If some of my homes
Had been more like my car
I probably wouldn't have
Traveled this far"

(Paul Simon)
