    1979 Datsun 210 that my grandfather gave me when I was 16. He bought it new in 1979 when I was 2 years old. This was the first car for most of my cousins who he loaned it to. I only have the one photo below - that was at a cousin's birthday party in 1981.

    When I was driving it in high school it was so tricked out. I am bummed there are no photos of: the shrunken head hanging from the rear view mirror. The 4x4 decals I put on the driver and passenger side keyholes. The rear window full of skateboard, RATM, and Beastie Boys stickers. The silver foot shaped accelerator pedal. The Yosemite Sam mud flaps that said "Back Off" that I got for Christmas but never installed. The trunk full of skateboards, a roller racer, and water damaged stacks of Big Brother skate magazines.

    I miss that car so much. I would still drive it today if I had it.
