A couple older blog car photos triggered good memories for #TBT

Posted By on October 30, 2025

Every once in a while, a link pops up in my blog from years ago (20 years in this case) and it amazes me just how fast the years go by (another link)?

The photos here are back when I was regularly commuting back and forth from Cincinnati to Cuyahoga Falls and to Warren, Ohio. In the early to mid-2000s, the trip was often in one of my favorite small vehicles: a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Those were good, but challenging years as my business was changing (perhaps it always was changing)? Anyway one of my cohorts had just purchased a Mini Cooper S and couldn’t wait to show me. It was fun test driving little turbocharged sporty hatch, but personally I still preferred my RocketChipped biodiesel burning Volkswagen TDI (in the background of these photos). Ah … some good memories.
