history:  I was surprised when my parents bought me a car. I did not expect it at all My parents bought me a car when i turned 17_comma_ i was so surprised You must have been thrilled! There is nothing like a first car. Did you love it?
current: I still own it actually, still running!
next: No way -- THAT'S the best. Paid for (I'm assuming) *and* running. Do you hope to do the same for your kids when it's time?
