My First Car

My first car was a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe.

Memories with this car are as follows:

1. Dipping a ton of Grizzly Straight while driving to and from school and sporting events.
2. Listening to ‘Live and Let Die’ by Guns N’ Roses.
3. Running out of gas frequently because the gas meter was broken. One time in particular, I was with a girl after a football game and was driving her home. Because the car ran out of gas, we had to stop on the side of the road which resulted in us making out (which was awesome).
4. Rear ending a friend while ‘mudding’ in an empty construction lot
5. Smoking pot for the first time before working the concession stand at a pre-season football game. I was so high that I ate an entire box of Crunch bars and saw the entire world as tinted purple.
6. Sneaking out of my bedroom window to pick up friends and drink shitty gin in someone’s empty h0use.
7. Feeling really proud when a girl rode in the front seat.
8. Buying beer for all my friends from Ricky, the cook at the country club where I worked when I was 16.
9. Driving to the Harpeth River with about 50 people in the car and a bunch of beer and inflatable floats, blaring Guns N’ Roses and being pretty nervous about getting pulled over.
10. Rolling a girl’s house and running over her foot when she came outside and ran at the car while I attempted to get away as fast as possible.
11. The odometer that read ~250,000

She served me well.
