Even at my tender age, I realized that there was something wrong with a car that would lose traction in the rear so easily. That convertible, with a heavier, more powerful engine would be one dangerous car.

Back in the late 80's I stopped getting cool cars and started getting boring cars. These days, I like to drive generic type cars that nobody will notice. My next used car I get will probably be a small Toyota SUV so we can have a matching set. Our next car after that will probably be an electric car.. The idea of getting a brand-new car terrifies me - that's way too big of a responsibility!
