I got the sports car (280Z) when I turned 47. Now (at 68) I drive a

I bought an Austin-Healey Sprite, $2085 new, when I was 20, and got
that out of my system. Now, I can't understand why anybody would buy
anything but a hatchback.

I second that. After owning a Toyota station wagon I bought a sedan.
Bringing something big is out of the question. Fortunately my wife
bought a hatch-back. I wanted to trade my car for a Volvo station
wagon, but so far no luck. On the other hand, the Volvo would have
sucked my wallet empty by now :-)

That's why I own a small pick-em-up truck, Nissan Frontier, extended
cab... so I can bring home 4' X 8' sheets of plywood or drywall, yet
put a couple of grandkids in the jump seats if need be ;-)
