Many car fans often regret cars gone by. "If only I had kept that Mustang!", or "Why did I sell that Plymouth?", or "Wonder where that Corvair is today?" are common phrases as we get older and think back to the great cars we had in the past. I may only be 34, but I already have one such regret. With luck, however, my first love is still in my possession! But she sure needs some TLC...
Like with all good toys, the time comes where you stop playing with it, and at a certain point the pedal car was parked and nearly forgotten. When my little sister was of age the car got a new lease on life, and a few more kilometers on the imaginary odometer, but after that it was parked, and this time for good. I guess that was nearly 15 years ago now, and time has not been good to the little wooden Model A.
