"No wonder it's broken, it's 41 years old!" Zach said when I picked this old matchbox truck from his toy box. You can always tell which were mine - they were emblazoned with a thick black "D" in magic marker. This was implemented by my mom after the particularly nasty Matchbox turf-wars of 1971, a property dispute between my brother Brian and I.I played hard with this truck for years, and Zach has carried on the tradition. We refuse to retire it given its history. There are a few more of these old survivors still banging around the house. It's nice to see them still loved after all this time.

The math is not adding up here. Brian is approximately two years younge than you. Assuming he was about 3 ( thus able to tell difference between a B and D), and the truck is 41 y.o. that places you about 46-47. Also if you find my bat mobile you took I want it back
