Post something from your camera roll that comes up when you search yellow car

Oh to be so young again.
Me, 20 years ago, standing outside a car dealership where a prominent yellow Lamborghini sports car is on display. I'm posing as though I'm behind the wheel, but it's a sheepish grin as I know how stupid it looks.

I also picked a cover edition which I didn't actually have because this cover is so much better. Look at the original... you'd look at this and think "oh a story about pioneers exploring the American west, how quaint." The only good original WoT covers were for book 1 & 3.
