They gave me, for my 19th birthday, this really ancient Toyota. So that was my first car. And I loved it. I thought it was amazing, and I drove it cross-country.

I drove cross-country and back, and then I gave it to my sister, and she drove it for another 10 years. #Quote by Ethan Hawke

It would be a very accurate historian who could pinpoint the precise day when the Japanese changed from being fiendish automatons who copied everything from the West, to becoming skilled and cunning engineers who would leave the West standing.

Newt #Quote by Terry Pratchett

#31. Miraculously, thirty minutes later I found Marlboro Man's brother's house. As I pulled up, I saw Marlboro Man's familiar white pickup parked next to a very large, imposing semi. He and his brother were sitting inside the cab.
Looking up and smiling, Marlboro Man motioned for me to join them. I waved, getting out of my car and obnoxiously taking my purse with me. To add insult to injury, I pressed the button on my keyless entry to lock my doors and turn on my car alarm, not realizing how out of place the dreadful chirp! chirp! must have sounded amidst all the bucolic silence. As I made my way toward the monster truck to meet my new love's only brother, I reflected that not only had I never in my life been inside the cab of a semi, but also I wasn't sure I'd ever been within a hundred feet of one. My armpits were suddenly clammy and moist, my body trembling nervously at the prospect of not only meeting Tim but also climbing into a vehicle nine times the size of my Toyota Camry, which, at the time, was the largest car I'd ever owned. I was nervous. What would I do in there?
Marlboro Man opened the passenger door, and I grabbed the large handlebar on the side of the cab, hoisting myself up onto the spiked metal steps of the semi. "Come on in," he said as he ushered me into the cab. Tim was in the driver's seat. "Ree, this is my brother, Tim."
Tim was handsome. Rugged. Slightly dusty, as if he'd just finished working. I could see a slight resemblance to Marlboro Man #Quote by Ree Drummond

#32. Maybe you've been in love. I mean real love, the kind my grandmother used to describe by quoting the apostle Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, the love that is kind and patient, that does not envy or boast, that beareth all things and believeth all things and endureth all things. I don't like to throw the L-word around; it's too good and rare a feeling to cheapen with overuse. You can live a good life without ever knowing real love, of the Corinthians variety, but I was fortunate to have found it with Harold. #Quote by John Green

#33. If you want engagement, you must engage. #Quote by Karen Martin

#34. My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red, like the one in 'The Blues Brothers.' I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it, which broke my heart! #Quote by Richard Hammond

#36. She took several slow deep breaths, then, "Okay, what happened to my car?"
"This is your car."
"I may not know much lately," she gritted, "but I do know what I drive. I drive a falling-apart Toyota. A disgustingly powdery-blue one. With lots of rust and no antenna. That is not my car."
"Correction. You used to drive a falling apart Toyota, B.A."
Had his lips just brushed her hair? She shivered, and though she knew better than to ask, she did it anyways. "Okay, you got me, what's 'B.A.'"
"Before Adam. After Adam, you drive a BMW. #Quote by Karen Marie Moning
