I can mix remorse and regret into one vehicle. My first ever MV was a Canadian CDLV505 contract jeep bought from the classified section of the Toronto Star. I didn't want a jeep, but everyone at the time said jeeps were the way to go and nobody wanted CMP's, much less carriers (which is EXACTLY what I wanted). So, succumbing to peer pressure I bought the jeep, restored it and drove it once. One single time onto the flatbed that took it out west to the fellow I sold it to. I've owned and restored carriers and CMPs (at the rate of about 4 owned to one restored) enjoying every moment of it. But now I regret not having the jeep (serial 155792) and wonder what ever happened to it.
