Just a few months after getting a half decent camera, I'm in Sarnia visiting the in-laws and decided to spend the morning for the rush. CN 148 (I Assume given the timing) is coming out of the tunnel at 0940 with a nice class leader and there's no sun to be had, just as the train came into this frame the sun came out. That's my 1st vehicle at right, "Bessie" as I called it. Things were different even then.

    I remember the feeling of dread every time I saw that car fly in on two wheels where ever I happened to run in to you. :) LOL

    I think we all had cheap cars as our first car. Mine was 72 Pinto. It did the job.
