In December 2007, I went with my dad to test drive new cars. His Mazda 626 was getting long in the tooth and my cousin needed a car, so he sold it to him and we went looking for another car. Once my dad decided on a Toyota Camry, he turned to four-year-old me and asked, “What color should we get?” Excitedly, I yelped: “Red!” And a day later, we picked up our 2008 V6 Camry that, 18 years later, is still in the family.
