A Life Story Told Through Cars (And Trucks)

FrankGeorg/Pixabay

Maybe you can tell the story of your life through the cars you have known.  The Datsun you took your driver's test in, or the Dart where you kissed somebody important to you. 

Melissa Stephenson certainly has stories to tell about the cars of her life, and she tells them--marriage, suicide, and more--in Driven: A White-Knuckled Ride to Heartbreak and Back

Listen to the list of vehicles and the milestones they represent in her life.  It may sound familiar.
