I'll never forget the first time I saw a Kia Sportage. It was back when I was in college, so probably in 1995. Parked outside the athletic dorm, I wound up being late for my 8am class because I couldn't stop walking around and around that Kia just admiring how cute it was and wondering if I'd be able to figure out who owned it, and find out more about it. I never saw it on campus again, but it stuck with me and when I had the chance to buy one over a decade later, I did!
