Alfred Morris drove his 1991 Mazda 626 to Valley Ranch on Wednesday. Though his belongings still are in storage in the Washington, D.C., area, Morris had the car he nicknamed “Bentley” transported him his new home the Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas area.

“I grew up in not the best of situations, so I wasn’t fortunate enough to get a car at graduation,” Morris said. “In college, I had to hitchhike, ride a bike or walk. I just wanted a car. I got tired of relying on other people. I got this one and took ownership of it, and it just reminds me of what it took to get to where I am today — a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, a lot of sacrifice. It reminds me of my struggles to get here.
