What Were You Driving When You Dated Your Spouse/SO?

The night I met Ms. cornflakes I was riding a $200 mountain bike and was wearing paisley-covered thrift store boxer shorts and a t-shirt. My car was a 12-year old Toyota Corolla that looked older, but I think we were on a date to Mexico before she saw it.

She has said that my relating a favorite passage from a book is what attracted her to me. Personally, I think we liked each other because we had fun together, had paying jobs that meant something to us and we weren’t checking each other’s resume.

Me: '95 Nissan pickup & an '87 Saab 9000T.

Him: '96 Ford Escort station wagon, '59 Cadillac Sedan de Ville, :), '93 Ford camper van.

I had an 82 BMW 320 to her Dodge Shadow.

Of course, it was 11,000 miles away when we met, but who’s counting?
