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.

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.
