Have You Entered to Win That Subaru Yet? It Got Me to Thinking About My First Car [SPONSORED]

Patriot Subaru is giving away a brand new 2016 Subaru Impreza, and it started to make me think about my very first car. 

After driving various El Caminos (courtesy of my dad) as a teenager, the first car I purchased with my own money was a Volkswagen Rabbit in 1987. Yeah, I know, not nearly as cool as an El Camino, but it was 500 bucks and I held it together for about year with Grateful Dead stickers, before the radiator blew up after one of the Dead/Feat Oxford shows in '88. It was also the first vehicle to get me to work at the WBLM studios in Auburn when I was a rookie Blimp pilot. I found one just like her on Ebay.

Cars have come a long way since then. Just take a look at this shiny new 2016 Subaru Impreza that you can win from Patriot Subaru. Register to win it today in person or on Patriots Subaru's Facebook Page.
