What was your first car?

My first car was a used 1988 four-door Honda Accord. It was aqua. I got it in 1998.

How did you acquire it?

My father and I were driving down a country road in Fayetteville, N.C., and we saw it for sale in someone’s front yard. When I saw it I said, “That’s the one.” We stopped and bought it.

What is your favorite memory of the car?

My favorite memory with that car was on a day when I drove to school with three of my friends and right as we were pulling into the parking lot, a wheel popped off. Everybody had to get out and push it into the lot. We had to reattach the wheel before homeroom.
