remember taking my most treasured toy‚ a bright red Ferrari Testarossa Hot Wheels car‚ and rolling it back and forth on the glossy‚ white tiled floor of my house.

I was consumed with insurmountable levels of joy and excitement; I was finally getting my first car. Well actually‚ allow me to dial that back just a tad‚ I was filled with excitement and joy about my new car‚ but it was not really for the same reasons that any old average-joe might be excited for.
