What was your first car?
Jonathan: We shared our first car. It was an ’83 Chrysler E-Class with an electronic voice that said things like “Your seat belt is unfastened.” We thought it was so futuristic. Then it got annoying when there was a hole in the washer fluid tank and she kept saying “Your washer fluid is low” nonstop.
How did you acquire it?
Drew: Our parents had a rule that we had to be responsible, save up and buy our own vehicle. They would match us dollar for dollar up to $2,000, which means to maximize the investment we had to find a $4,000 vehicle. We bought it from a local mechanic who fixed cars and sold them.
What is your favorite memory of the car?
Jonathan: Whenever Dad was in the car and she said, “Your door is ajar,” Dad would respond, “No, it’s a door, not a jar – and she’s supposed to be smart.” Haha! So funny. I also remember, one time, when Drew was flying into town (our first car was a jet-black car, same style as some limousines), I cleaned it up, polished it, put on the black chauffeur outfit and picked him up at the airport with a sign that read “Mr. Scott.”
What happened to it?
Drew: After about a year or so, we couldn’t stand the voice anymore, so we sold it to buy a beautiful red Thunderbird with power leather seats. It was so nice. We shared that for many years until, finally, we needed our own cars.
