I was working part time doing movie set security and getting a small amount for GI Bill education benefits, but I managed to scrape up enough for some used wheels. (Previously-owned in today's lingo.) The MG I had for about a year and I don't remember what became of it. It was a lot of fun but it was so tiny it was a death trap. Every car on the road was bigger than it. <img src="https://www.habitablezone.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/MG-roadster.jpg" alt="" /> The Mazda RX7 wasn't as cool but it looked fairly sporty. It wasn't in the best shape, and it actually got stolen. I got it back about two months later and the guy who stole it tricked out the interior. New carpets, new stereo, new seat covers. I eventually sold it. <img src="https://www.habitablezone.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Mazda-rx7.jpg" alt="" /> Thanks for bringing back these memories for me. Today I drive a Honda Accord.
