The old days. 16 years old (1985) Kim and I at Wild Waves.

Click on picture to enlarge Yeah I know, the picture is really bad. Underdeveloped and a cheap camera. The 100 year old photos of my dad are much better than this one? I think the pictures back then turned out really good considering the lack of technology. It was my first time driving my first car over the mountains to stay with Kim for a week in Gig Harbor. My first car was not fuel efficient. I had to stop halfway and fill up. I didn't know that speed affected your gas mileage, and even if I had known I wouldn't have been any lighter on the pedal. Every chance I got I was cruising at 100+ miles per hour. Oh yeah, don't tell my mom, I promised her I would drive the speed limit, kidding, she knows all about it. It's just one of those things that you tell your parents about when you're older. I didn't get one ticket driving my first car and there were no accidents. It's pretty amazing since I was only 16, and had a car that had way too much power for me. I thought I was a great driver. Looking back it scares me to think that I drove that fast. My parents really shouldn't have let me buy that car, (I begged them until they broke down.) I was an inexperienced driver and a little irresponsible.
