Have you owned a car that is now considered a classic?

If I still had mine it would be over 50 years old now. Not a classic, alas, just what we call a "hoopty".

But it once helped foil a burglary, so I had respect for that. 😊

@rinkydinkydoink I’ve talked about it a few times. The summer after I went away to college, while my family was away camping, someone broke into our house, took various items. My parents had taken their camper, so only mine and my mother’s cars were left.

Mom’s Bobcat apparently wasn’t cool enough, so they took my Toyota—which, loaded up with the things they’d stolen—promptly went dead on 280, where the police caught them. 😅

Yay! Serves them right! They stole the only unreliable Toyota in existence 🤣
