I lived in Charlotte and was at work without a TV in my office. I remember the radio reports when the first one hit and thinking that a small plane had an accident. As soon as the second one hit, I closed up shop, sent everyone home, and went next door to watch the news.

The next day I went and bought a Kia Sportage 4x4 as it was the last carbureted 4x4 sold in the U.S. No one knew what the hell was about to happen and having an analog 4x4 was suddenly very important to me as I was on the east coast and had/have family on the west coast.

The day after that I started the process of trying to get back in the Air Force which ended up not panning out.

To this day I am never without an analog 4x4 in my personal vehicle inventory.
