My First Brand new Car.. 1985 Toyota TRUCK..

My first brand new car.. Toyota truck.. 4x4..Inspired story from my mama..

 My first brand new car.. was this shiny show room display truck.. It was a beautiful Midnight blue TOYOTA SR5 4X4 LIFTED TRUCK.. with chrome wheels and bumpers.. Just awesome.. My dearly departed mama .. wanted to buy me this new truck because I just graduated from College and entering the work force.. Plus I think she hated my suped up wanna Muscle Car be Pinto.. Its funny I always wanted a Muscle car. But .. She talked me into a truck.. and I looked at all the trucks back in the day. Chevy's , fords. Gmc.. etc.. But this Toyota on the miles of cars just caught my eye. and that whole day and night we negotiated. argued .. played games and finally got the deal my mama wanted.. She was tough and stubborn. she wanted a full tank of gas, she wanted it prepped and waxed before we drove it off. She wanted all the protection plans and of course she wanted a low price.. She was ruthless. But in the end I got what I wanted and the dream truck was mine.. It was so fun driving it home with my brother.. We took turns driving it home.. It was fun.. and the day I bought it.. will always be one of the happiest days of my young life.. My mama is still my favorite woman. and that day she displayed how important I was to her.. I will never forget that day.. But I do regret that I didn't keep that truck for sentimental reasons.. because I did so many things in that truck.. off roading, cruising car shows.. dates.. parties withe friends.. It was my daily driver.. the show truck on weekends.. the beach cruiser.. the off road beast.. Yea.. It did everything I ask it to do...But the years of neglect.. I was stationed over seas Japan for years.. tore that truck apart. It rusted out, it faded and it almost caught fire when I tried to jump start.. It had many issues , electrical,. tons of rust and mildew.. It didn't look like the truck I used to drive.. But.. I let it go.. I mean I had new Cars.. Dodge caravan.. Saturn and  a new 4x4 Nissan to takes its place.. but it was a sad parting.. But as the years go by.. and if my budget permits.. I would love to get hold on another truck like that.. Restore it and have it as weekend warrior.. but if not I have the many pictures and memories I blog about and have in my mind.. Yea.. That was a cool truck and the many girls I took out with that truck.. said the same.. I mean I used to drive that to TJ's.. to visit Tillys.. a bar ,, alot of my classmates used to frequent.. Man, I miss those days.. those were the glory days for sure and my times I had with my bad ass 4x 4 will always be cherished memories.. and I will share in future blogs,, But the day I purchased my first new car will always be cherished , because My mama was the teacher and mentor and how to purchase a car.. which came into play many years later when I bought my New Muscle Car the dodge challenger... One thing is for sure, the memory of buying your first new car is always a memory that I will cherish and never forget.. Because the reason behind the purchase.. Its was my mama saying " Great job and good luck to your future,, and to that,.. I love you mama and I miss you dearly... My memories of you and that special day will forever stay in my heart and mind...
