We were talking about cars with Kerst.  We told him that Dad (John) had a cool car when we were dating and first married.  An RX 7.


John's car.  In front of "The Green House" just south of BYU.  This house has since been demolished and turned into a parking lot.
"That wasn't a cool car."

"What?  Yes it was."

"The gold car was not cool."

"The car was silver."

Kerst must have been thinking of the Datsun that frequents many of my younger childhood pictures.

Pictures in 1977 of my older brother, Sean, me and younger brother, Richard pushing my Dad out of the driveway on the way to his church meetings - we also did this when he left for work.  

My other younger brother, Reed, joined us - he is wearing the light blue suit.


He then told us that cool cars were Mustangs, etc.

John informed them that he drove a Mustang (his parents owned one when he was off his mission).

"You were cool when you were younger."

Thanks Kerst!

YEOW! Tell Kerst his Uncle Reed is a hipster! Your brother was a man ahead of his time!

Just the other day I was reminiscing with a friend on Facebook about how we each had a Datsun 240Z back in the day and how fun they were. Sigh.
