Tag: The Luck Of The Long Island Duck Lands Me A New Car

Way back in 1984 I bought my first car … an ‘85 Pontiac Grand Am.  What sold me on that little beauty was the fuel-injected 4 cylinders under the hood.  I lived in my home-country of Canada back then, how long ago it seems, and got pulled over as I drove it home from the dealership.  Apparently I’d been doing 143ks in a 70k zone.  Thankfully the officer had compassion … when I told her it was my first car and the first day I’d had it, she let me off with a warning.  Looking back, I realise that my love of driving hasn’t diminished one bit.  Now, all these years later, I’m pumped every time I even think about my latest (I picked it up last month) set of wheels.  I can’t tell you how hungrily I’ve been eyeing every Land Rover over the past few decades, it’s been a dream to own one
