Just riding in that car made me feel sexy. Now I don't even remember the boyfriend's name -- but I sure remember his car. Many years ago I had a boyfriend who drove a red Triumph.

The insurance cost more than the car! I LOVED that car, though. I've had a thing for red sportcars with pop-up headlights ever since! My first car was a £400 Triumph TR7.

I know now she could have used the increased money she would have received if she'd sold it to someone else. But at the time I took her generosity and love for granted -- isn't that what grandmas do? I'd like to hope my own grandchildren will be more aware, but they probably won't be. And I'll forgive them, just as my grandmother forgave me.

I couldn't even tell you what it was. A Dodge, I think. At the time, I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have. Oh, don't get me wrong, I loved it and was so happy to get it. But it wasn't until much later that I came to realize what my mother had sacrificed to give it to me. I remember my first car because my mother gave it to me. I couldn’t even tell you what it was.
