A friend and co-worker managed to sell his VW Rabbit and buy an older, 80's Toyota pickup. While I won't get started on all the old Rabbit memories I have (I don't know if this blog is large enough to contain them), I will say that the moment I say his "new" Toyota, I had a blast of memories from high school and college.
My best friend drove a Toyota pickup of the same vintage. He did his best to destroy it...ultimately rolling it on three separate occasions. Luckily, I was never around for those inverted negative g dives in his truck. I was too busy saying hello to...never mind, poor joke.
Nonetheless...memories. All the early morning, snowstorm trips to Sugarloaf. Driving to Giffords, across town to McDonald's repeatedly on Saturday nights. Leaving the vehicle's body parts behind in some farmer's field out near the firing range. All the high school stupidity we managed to live through.
And now...I'm a dad. And I will have to let my children live through those experiences.
I know my old and trusted friend will likely not appreciate these following clips considering some of the poor humor these chaps have displayed in the past...but it's well worth sharing this. And it's well worth your time to watch all three clips, even if it takes a full half hour, it's worth watching this through to the end.
