It took us everywhere we had to go, off to our field trips, to the bowling alley, to intercolony softball games. It even took our mothers on weekly trips into town to do the food shopping at the local Grand Union supermarket. On rainy mornings it picked us up right in front of our bungalows and drove us up to the casino doors.
  On the lengthier trips if it wasn't your lucky day you'd have to make the whole trip with someone sitting on your lap, or even worse, got stuck in the very back scrunched up with four other kids riding atop the hot engine compartment on a scorching 90°+ summer day. You would eventually arrive at the destination so overheated and drenched in sweat that when you finally crawled out you got goosebumps from the chill of the outside air.

  Still, we wouldn't trade a single moment from any of those trips for a ride in a Limousine today.
