2010 Ford
Mustang GT
“Zero practicality. Maximum soul. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.”
Sold to a 19-year-old who'd been saving for two years — exactly like I had. I made him promise to take care of her. He sent me a photo six months later. She looked perfect.
The Story
My first car. Saved up for two years working weekends. The day I drove it off the lot I cried — actual tears. Candy apple red, 5.0 V8, and absolutely zero practicality. Perfect.

Key Milestones
The day I cried
Drove it off the lot and pulled over two blocks away. Sat there for ten minutes just listening to the engine.
First track day
Took it to a local autocross event. Came last. Didn't care. The sound alone was worth the entry fee.
Cross-country run
Drove from New York to Los Angeles in 4 days. 2,800 miles. The best road trip of my life.
Passed to a good home
Sold to a kid who'd been saving up for two years. I made him promise to take care of her.

How much this car is still felt, even after it’s gone.

Rolls-Royce Ghost
Hired for our wedding day. Pulled up to the church in a Rolls-Royce Ghost — Midnight Sapphire, white ribbon on the bonnet. I'll never forget the look on her face when she saw it waiting outside. We only had it for six hours. It felt like a lifetime.
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Adventure phase. Took the doors off every summer. Drove through three national parks, one very muddy trail in Colorado, and countless beach sunsets. This Jeep has more stories than I can count.
Ducati Monster 821
My first motorcycle. Everyone told me not to. I bought it anyway. Matte black, Arrow exhaust, and a sound that turned heads at every traffic light. Four years of weekend rides, track days, and one very memorable trip through the Pacific Coast Highway.
