At 16 I was passed down a 94 Toyota Landcruiser (this was in 02). Was a nice vehicle, but one hell of a gas hog. At around 19 or so got rid of the Yota and was passed down a 97 Subaru Outback. Was a great little all around vehicle and was perfect for the Michigan weathers.
Had the Subaru all through college (didn't really drive much) and when I graduated last summer, got a nice little graduation gift, a 08 4 door Wrangler. Always been a huge fan of Jeeps, nothing beats cruisin with the doors and top off
And yes- I am very very thankful for what I am given
