Dustin's 4Runner
When Dustin was 16, he got a job
at the local Burger King Restaurant. He worked, and
saved months for the down payment on his 1990 Toyota
4-Runner.
To say that Dustin loved his SUV
is an understatement. He was crazy about the 4-Runner!
Sometimes boys are very possessive
about their vehicles, but if a friend needed to borrow
one Dustin usually would lend them his.
As his mom, I seemed to lecture
Dustin quite a bit about allowing other people to
drive his vehicle and cautioning him against doing
that. I think Dustin just had that kind of personality
where he would help out anyone, and if a friend needed
to use his vehicle, it was no problem.
Dustin was always giving his friends
rides to where ever they needed to go.
He spent a lot of time "cruisin"
with friends.
The song playing on this page is "Money"
by Pink Floyd. Dustin liked this song and listened
to it a lot "back in the day". A big thank-you
and hug goes to his good friend Amanda for sharing
the memory of this song and Dustin.

Dustin was always "cruisin".
His 4-runner was his pride and joy.
When Dustin got the 4-runner, the
first thing he bought was the dice to hang from the
rear view mirror.
Now his sister Kristen has the dice
for her car.
On Dustin’s birthday, Sept.
18th, 2004, Dustin’s cousin Brian entered Dustin’s
4 Runner, with it’s “kickin” stereo
system, in a local contest. After proudly accepting
the first place trophy, he announced it was in memory
and honor of his cousin Dustin.
