Indulge me just this once

I’m sorry…I just can’t get this image out of my head. When I heard that the car Ronald Reagan drove around the ranch - Rancho del Cielo, the Western White House - for so many years was restored so it could be displayed as a museum piece there, I had to sit up and pay attention.
I’d seen the man in a plain white T-shirt on the back of a horse, but what else did he drive around the ranch? A truck? A jeep?
No. Actually it was a red 1978 Subaru BRAT. You know, Subaru’s Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter? It was a gift from Reagan’s national security advisor and he drove that thing faithfully for years.
Call me crazy, call me sentimental fool, call me frivolous little cotton head - but I can’t help think there’s something utterly charming about this tidbit.
A Reagan red BRAT, back at the ranch.
