You may have never seen this car before, unless you knew me in high school or during my first two years of college. A brown Ford Taurus stationwagon was driven by my brother's bestfriend. He aptly named the car "Sexual Chocolate," after the band that performs in the movie Coming to America. However, it was not until the time that the car in the photograph became my main mode of transportation that the name "Sexual Chocolate" was applied to a more suitable car, the bronze 1979 Buick Regal.
While this car made all of my friends laugh, girls did not find the car very appealing. The smoothest ride in the world wasn't enough to attract women. In addition, I failed to have the ride pimped out properly. So, you might expect to find a senior citizen at the helm, not me. When I moved into Avent Ferry my sophomore year, my parents quickly observed that I drove the only pre-1980s American sedan in the dorm.
The following year, I upgraded to a 1996 Honda Accord. Sexual Chocolate was sold to Percy, who was very excited about finding this car. It sold for about $1000, which is pretty impressive. To this day, Julia wishes that I still had this car, for she never had the priviledge to ride in this fabulous car! Someday, I'll find an equivalent car to fill this void in her life.
