My Toyota got better mileage and was more fun to drive.

My brother bought back my share of the Mustang and sold it later at considerable profit so he could buy a big motorcycle.

Maybe I should have bought my brother's share of the Mustang and driven that. In some places driving a foreign car wasn't cool. A Toyota with California plates driven by a long-haired kid attracted unwanted attention from the police.

I've driven the same model of Mustangs since and now they just feel primitive.
