Well, Shadowfax, That all depends on whom you ask. I’d like to think I’m one of these (click for larger):

[img_assist|nid=13965|title=
“Already vetted”|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=100|height=75]

Though some might think I’m one of these:
[img_assist|nid=13966|title=
“Roadster”|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=400|height=211]

Or even one of these:
[img_assist|nid=13967|title=
“Classy Lady”|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=400|height=152]

. . . except for the fact that I’ve always fit nicely in just one parking meter space . . . lol. I’ve had the good fortune of having been well maintained throughout life and always garaged so have managed to come thru the trenches with everything still working.

When I think back to my younger days, I found it easier to borrow that which I lusted for, take it for a spin in the mountains . . . and then give it back with a full tank and sometimes even an oil change! It was just more economical for me that way. Being the feminist that I was, I guess I thought, “Why buy the milk when you can get the cow for free??”

Here are a couple of 5-speed models I very much enjoyed driving on hilly terrain back in the day but never actually owned (click for larger):

[img_assist|nid=13968|title=
“Turned on a Dime”|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=100|height=68]

[img_assist|nid=13969|title=
“Lotta Leg Room”|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=250|height=187]

The blue one even dressed up its front tires in chains for me once and we went for a “spin” in the snow . . . just had just an AWESOME time that day! ;=)
