My first car was a 1977 Toyota Corolla. It had a 1.8 Litre engine that put out all of 98 horsepower. It was a "hand me down" from my dad as he bought a new car in 1982. My brothers and sisters had all passed down the 1969 Mustang, until my brother totaled it before it could get to me.

Still, the car meant freedom to me. I put a loud stereo in it and took all of my friends everywhere. I remeber one summer day, we piled 9 people in it to drive out to a rock quarry to go swimming.

It definitely was not my dream car. I have had a few classics since then. A couple of 1957 Chevy pickups and currently drive a hot rod 1939 Ford Coupe.

I worry that as driverless cars become a reality, we will lose the ability to drive our old classics.
