"I LOVE MY CAR BECAUSE ... it was a wedding present from my dad 24 years ago. It turns on a dime, has 5 mph impact-safe bumpers, see-through head rests, a glove box that opens as a table and rain gutters over the windows. I can haul lumber, hay and passengers easily. And also because of the color."
