My dad wasn't a big car guy when I was growing up. I'm not sure where I got the car bug growing up. His first car after immigrating to Canada was a 1984 Dodge Diplomat. Not my picture, but I think it was this champagne colour.
He drove that thing for a long time! Until 1998 when he got a Sunfire. It was ok, he only kept it for a few years.
Now he is driving a 2019 Elantra GT N Line. A lot more tech than he has ever had in another car. All the drivers assist items are needed since he is in his 70's haha. It feels faster than my Civic SI
Edit: I pondered some more about my post and realized my timeline was wrong! The Sunfire was a 2000 model year. His second car, and the one that probably has the most memories for me was a 1997 Chevrolet Venture. He drove it for four years. At the time, I remember it was really cool as the body style was super modern. And the amount of space it had was huge! He was doing a ton of engineering work in the Shuswap area like Salmon Arm, Sicamous, etc. and he would take the Venture up the Coquihalla a couple times a month. He would bring me along a few times during summer break and I remember he would always play 60's and 70's oldies rock while driving the Coquihalla. He drove the highway so much he knew exactly when the tunnels would be which amazed my teenage self. Now, when my wife and I go on road trips to the Okanagan, I usually play that sort of music as well. I don't think I realized why I play that music until now. Revscene is therapeutic!
