I bought my first car from my mom when I was 17 in 1987. She passed away from cancer and is no longer with us. Anyway, in 1987 I bought the car from her and drove it proudly for 5 years until I joined the military in 1992. I went to boot camp, tech school...more tech school and was finally stationed. During this time apparently my car was towed and put into storage because someone said it was abandoned!! Anyway I get back home to find my car is impounded and was told while standing infront of this guy, pleading in fresh military uniform to let me keep my car that I need to pay the impound fees now or surrender my title. Needless to say, I had no money and surrendered the title to impound lot. This was in 1993 and I havent seen the car since. I figured times have changed and nobody would treat a military service member that way anymore but its what happened to me and its what seperated me from my first car. One with the value of being my mothers before me. My hope is to one day find it so keep a look out for it just in case.
