But it's Brand Spank Me New. . . .

[Will]

I just lost all respect for Jay Leno. In the latest installment of "Garage" he says his first car was a '34 Ford, but he traded it for a Nissan sports car. That's like trading a '56 Strat for a brand spank me new Ibanez. Some things I wish I could unhear.

I used to have a Datsun.  It rusted into non-existence.

I almost cried a little bit. I had some chocolate pudding. I'm much better now.

Neighbor's kid that was 10 years older then me had a Datsun with stick of course and gave me lessons on how to operate stick shift. So I'll always have a soft spot for Datsun as it is a memory.

Did it rust into non-existence?

Of course in the 70's - 80's every other vehicle on the planet rusted away. Datsun and Ford were the worst though. I had both an 82 and 83 F-100 (back when F-100's were still full size trucks) that had no wheel wells left by 1990. They could have passed for rail buggies.
